Stevenson is CWB Certified!

Any company that is CWB Certified has undergone a review and qualification process to ensure that they meet the requirements for welding companies as specified in CSA Standards W47.1, W47.2, W55.3 or W186. Within CSA W47.1 and W47.2, a company may be Certified in one of three Divisions, based on the type of work to be undertaken, and the customer or end user. Within each Division, the CSA Standards provide clear requirements with respect to the personnel, procedures, as well as workmanship, as verified though auditing, that will be required. Under the Standards/ Divisional require – ments, each Certified Company is required to employ an adequate number of Welding Supervisors, and Welding Engineers with welding related experience, to control welding operations. Although not mandated by the above noted Standards, there may be an additional requirement (such as under CSA W59, another very common CSA Standard) for Certified Welding Inspectors to be also employed by a CWB Certified company.
