Examine welding methods, personnel qualifications, material traceability and manufacturing controls together. Define the scope, review existing evidence and verify the relevant assessment route.
Examine welding methods, personnel qualifications, material traceability and manufacturing controls together.
Match welding instructions to joint type, material and production conditions; personnel qualification and equipment capability must fit the actual work.
Trace the material certificate and welder identification to the joint, inspection result and any repair record rather than examining certificates separately.
If a weld is repaired, reconcile the repair method and reinspection evidence before accepting the joint; the original inspection alone is incomplete.
These examples help define the enquiry; they are not a universal mandatory checklist.
These are conditional preparation examples, not actual customer cases or a mandatory checklist. Product, site and the applicable programme determine which evidence is relevant.

Describe the actual activity, products, sites and the result sought.
Compare the requested route with existing evidence, applicable requirements, competence and impartiality conditions.
Confirm the relevant assessor, scope and procedure; any site assessment depends on the actual programme.
Keep assessment findings, the authorised decision and any follow-up obligations separate from the enquiry.
The applicant remains responsible for its systems, procedures, implementation and accurate records. QRS first reviews the enquiry scope, competence, applicable programme conditions and impartiality before accepting work. QRS does not provide or subcontract client-specific management-system design or implementation consultancy. Generic information and review of existing evidence do not replace the applicant’s implementation or the authorised body’s assessment and decision. This industry guide does not establish a programme licence or accreditation for QRS.
Identify actual products or services, processes, sites, workforce, outsourced activities and relevant legal and customer requirements. Record the assessment boundary before selecting a route.
No. The purpose, applicable legislation, customer or tender requirements and existing organisational arrangements must be considered separately. A sector label alone does not establish a certification obligation.
Process and welding instructions, Personnel and equipment records, Material certificates and inspection results. These are illustrative starting examples, not a fixed mandatory list. The actual product, site and selected programme determine what is relevant.
Check the actual legal entity, current status, standard or programme, sector and geographical scope in the relevant official register. A programme name, logo or another entity’s certificate does not prove QRS authority.
Compare the relevant service route and confirm the exact role and scope at enquiry.
