Welding technology
Procedure qualification
Structural steel and
specialist fabricators make it
possible to use technically
demanding structures within
buildings, factories and
warehouses, roofs, bridges,
cranes and others. When
performing these complex
tasks, in addition to the
manufacturer qualification
required by EN 1090,
legally-compliant
documentation of processes
is extremely important. This
also applies to pressure
equipment manufacturers
working in accordance with
the PED and suppliers of
railway and defence
engineering.
