Code: IWI-B; IWI-S; IWI-C
Based on: ASME Code IX, AWS D1.1, EN ISO 3834, ISO 14731
The welding inspector is a person responsible (see ISO 14731) for testing and proving goods, devices and
processes and he/she is able to do assessment with the codes and rules in the whole production process
where welding is used.
The “IWIP” qualification is managed by IIW IAB (International Authorization Board). Training and
examinations are provided in approved places, all services correspond to the requirements of managing
directive for welding inspectors.
The training is provided in 2 steps: WT (technology) and WI (inspection). After WT part must applicants
pass the intermediate exam; after WI part the final exam as well.
The directive IAB-041-2001/EWF-450-02 accepts the direct access too without the WT part attendance.
The participant must be certified by comparable or higher qualification in personnel supervising (having a
diploma like IWP, IWS, IWT, IWE) or have to pass the intermediate exam from the WT part. In case that this
differential exam hasn't been passed, completing the WT part is a must.

This method involves applying a visible or fluorescent liquid to the surface. The penetrant testing can be
applied to any non-absorbent material with uncoated surfaces. The practice part of the training are carried
out at our PT lines where colored and fluorescent penetrants, different kinds of developers and facilities
are demonstrated.
In addition to Level 1 this course contains information and practices for NDT workers responsible for
preparing written practices, testing and evaluating of all PT results and material discontinues. Special
colored or fluorescent penetrants are used for the evaluation. This departmental course is obligatory
