Technical Committee for Standardization "Welding and Allied Processes"

On November 9, 2004 according to the law "On technical regulation" № 603-II Technical Committee for Standardization is an advisory-deliberative body  which is created on a voluntary basis for the development of standards and participation in government system of technical regulation on fixed objects or areas of standardization activities.

Technical Committees for Standardization are created in the different spheres of economy by the proposals of the public authorities and stakeholders for conduction of work on the standardization at the international level. The Technical Committee for Standardization includes the representatives of government agencies and stakeholders.

In order to implement Article 11 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On technical regulation", Technical Committee for Standardization "Welding and allied processes" was established on the base of KazWeld Association on August 12, 2013. At the same day (Minutes № 9) the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Kenzhin (Director of engineering plant #1, Karaganda) as the Chairman of the Technical Committee for Standardization.

On September 24, 2013 on the basis of association KazWeld, Technical Committee TC82 "Welding and allied processes " under the Committee of Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Ministry of Industry and New Technologies (Minutes №- 485) was established with the following subcommittees:

• Subcommittee 1 - The technology of welding and allied processes
• Subcommittee 2 - Inspection and testing of welds and joints
• Subcommittee 3 - Welding equipment and materials
• Subcommittee 4 – Personnel certification

The purposes of the Technical Committee:

• Ensure the implementation of the Law On Technical Regulation;
• Develop and improve the work on standardization «Welding and allied processes» at national and international levels;
• Ensure the compliance of standardization in welding and allied processes with the interest of the national economy and scientific and technological process.

 Functions of the Technical Committee:

• formulation and implementation of long-term programs for development of standards within the scope of committee activities;
• formulation of proposals on national standards;
• formation of a list of standards that can be applied to meet the requirements of technical regulations;
• standards actualization within the scope of the committee;
• consideration of drafts of technical regulations of the Republic of Kazakhstan;
• adoption of national standards as well as an examination of those standards in organizations;
• interaction with other technical committees on standardization within the scope of technical committee ;
• participation in public meetings on technical regulation

Applications for the development of national standards in the field of welding and allied processes are now available!

KazWeld accepts application for development of standards related to the welding and allied processes in order to complete the state standardization activities within the Technical Committee No. 82 established under the Technical Regulation and Metrology Committee of the MINT on the base of Welding Association in September 2013.
