HIS SECTION DESCRIBES RECORDS REQUIREMENTS for maintaining both welding procedure specifications and welder qualifications.

GENERAL

Qualification records will be maintained for each welder, documenting: Processes for which the welder is qualified Current qualification status Dates and results of each qualification test

QUALIFIED WELDING PROCEDURE SPECIFICATION

Qualified Welding Procedure Specifications (QWPS) will be maintained by the individual responsible for welding activities. A copy of each QWPS is included in Section 2.20 (Qualified Welding Procedure Specifications [QWPS]) and will be made available to each qualified welder. The QWPS shall be retained until the procedure is no longer being used or has been replaced by a subsequent re-qualification. A blank sample of the Qualified Welding Procedure Specification is shown in Exhibit A1 (front page) and A2 (back page).
PROCEDURE QUALIFICATION RECORD

Procedure Qualification Records (PQR) will be maintained by the individual responsible for welding activities. The PQR shall be retained until the procedure is no longer being used or has been replaced by a subsequent re-qualification. A blank sample of the Qualified Welding Procedure Specification is shown in Exhibit B1 (front page) and B2 (back page).
WELDER PERFORMANCE QUALIFICATION RECORD

The Welder Performance Qualification Record (see Exhibit C) tracks specific test results of the initial qualification and requalification test(s), and continuation weld test(s) for each welder, and will be maintained by the individual responsible for welding activities. To remain qualified on a particular process for process piping welding, a welder must weld each process within a six month period; see Section 1.00 (Compliance Continuation Weld Test). The Welder Performance Qualification Record shall be maintained for a period of 5 years following the welder no longer performing the welding process/covered task. Radiographic test reports establishing a welders qualifications must be maintained for at least five years.
