A revision of AS1796

A REVISION OF AS1796: AN UPDATE FOR USERS

AS 1796 Certification of welders and welding supervisors was published in 2001. While this Standard has stood the test of time, it is being revised to align with current trends and international best practice.

Facilitated by Bruce Cannon (Principal Welding Engineer and Technical Publications Manager, Weld Australia), this presentation will provide an overview of the draft of the revised Standard focused on four key aspects:

• Alignment of welder requirements to AS/NZS ISO 9606.1 Qualification testing of welders - Fusion welding - Steels (consistent with AS 3992 Pressure equipment - Welding and brazing qualification)

• Updating the welding supervisor requirements consistent with AS/NZS 2214 Certification of welding supervisors - Structural steel welding

• Adding a new qualification for Welding Inspectors

• Application of current Standards Australia policy requirements
