Indian Institute of Welding ANB

The Indian Institute Of Welding has been accredited by

International Institute of Welding (IIW) with 53 nations as

member countries as its only ‘Authorised National Body’

(ANB) in India to operate its various international schemes

and award International Welding Diplomas.

The Following IIW Diplomas are offered

International Welding Coordination Personnel:

IWE, IWT, IWS & IWP

International Welding Inspection Personnel:

Basic, Standard & Comprehensive levels

International Welder:

Fillet, Plate and Tube/Pipe in various processes

& materials

Welding Coordination Personnel

• Welding is to be treated as a "special process" since

welds cannot be fully verified by subsequent inspection

and testing of the product. Quality cannot be inspected

into a product; it has to be built into it

• All Personnel who have responsibilities in the

manufacturing operation for welding and welding related

activities and whose competence and knowledge have

been demonstrated by training, education and relevant

manufacturing experience are covered by ISO14731.

• Welding coordination is considered as the responsibility

of all manufacturing organisations using welding as a

process and mandatory for those having ISO 3834

certification

Route only) will provide a pool of welding inspectors at

Basic (IWI-B), Standard (IWI-S) and Comprehensive (IWE-

C) level respectively of increasing knowledge, skill &

responsibility, trained to international standard for industry.

• This will also enable industry to fulfil the overall future

International Welder • ANB-India offers International Welder Diplomas to eligible candidates

(Class X pass + basics in metal working) based on the detailed course

content (Theory and Practical skill) forming part of the guideline of the

IIW-International Authorisation Board (IAB).

• The Diploma specifies 3 levels of increasing knowledge & skill as

International Fillet Welder (IFW), International Plate Welder (IPW),

International Tube (Pipe) Welder (ITW) taking into account the welding

process and material to be welded.

• A candidate may opt to take a course for any one or all of the process

on MMA, MIG/MAG or TIG for any material (C Steel, SS or Aluminium)

• The diploma of 'International Welder' also includes an additional

Qualification certification for practical skill tests as per ISO 9606-1.

• The ANB has appointed welder training Institutes as Approved

Training Bodies (ATBs) to impart the practical and theoretical training

programmes. Prospective candidates are required to undergo training in

these ATB’s in the welding course of their choice.• Final Theory and Practical tests are conducted by ANB as per IAB rules

14

Welder Qualification

• Welders’ Approval Testing and Certification is required to meet

industry demand for Certification of welders already engaged in welding

job in order to ensure compliance to their Quality System including their

customer requirement and also to comply with ISO 3834.

• It is necessary to have an Approved Welding Procedure for welder

qualification.

• The Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) approval test is carried out

by a competent welder based on a provisional WPS (pWPS). The

intention is to demonstrate that the proposed welding procedure will

produce a welded joint which will satisfy the designed requirements of

weld quality and properties conforming to relevant welding code/

standard. This enables creation of Welding Procedure Qualification

Record (WPQR)

• The Welder Approval Test examines a welder's skill and ability in

producing a satisfactory test weld following a WPS.

• The renewable Welders Qualification Certificates may be prepared as

per ISO 9606 / EN287 / IS 7310 or under ASME Sec IX, AWS. 15
