On May 20, 2015 at the General Assembly of European Federation of Welding (EWF) in Bergen (Norway), Kazakhstan Welding Association "KazWeld" got the full authorization for the certification of welders, welding operators and brazers according to EWF scheme with the issuance of certificates according to EN 287, ISO 9606, ASME BPV Section IX, AWS D 1.1, EN 1418, EN 13133, EN 13067 and others.
Thus, KazWeld became the 1st Authorized National Body (ANB) in the world, which will apply the EWF Welder Certification Scheme according to international, European standards and standards of foreign countries. None of the ANBs in Europe and in the world has received such a right yet, despite the fact that the scheme had been designed in Europe for the certification of welders, welding operators and brazers in each IIW member country, acting on behalf of EWF.
Certificates issued by Kazakhstan Welding Association “KazWeld” will be recognized in all EWF and IIW member countries. EWF consists of 29 member countries and IIW - 57 member countries.
FYI: Kazakhstan Welding Association “KazWeld” became an observer country of European Welding Federation on November 18, 2014.
