Supervisor study guide WXE1.1
What are the responsibilities of a welding supervisor as defined in CSA Standard
W47.1?✔️✔️(Cl.3) Welding Supervisor - the company's designated person(s) directly
responsible for ensuring that qualified tack welders, welders, and welding operators
weld in accordance with approved or accepted welding procedure data sheets in the
shop and the field (Also see Cl 7.1)
Who administers CSA Standard W47.1?✔️✔️(Cl. 4.1) This standard shall be
administered by the Canadian Welding Bureau.
For how long does a company's certification remain in effect?✔️✔️(Cl.4.5) Certification
shall continue in effect subject to periodic verification by the Bureau that the
requirements of the standard are being met. Such verification's shall take place at the
locations(s) where welding is being performed by the company.
