How is certification carried out?
To confirm the professional level of its employees, the employer submits an application and sends them to the certification center.
The essence of certification is as follows.
- First, a practical exam is taken. Its purpose is to show the commission the current level of quality of work. Based on how well the practical task is completed, the commission decides whether to allow the student to proceed to the next stages of verification or not.
- Then general and special exams are held. General includes questions on theoretical material. The special test is taken for the types of welding in which the certified welder works. The exam is taken for each welding technology. Based on the results, a separate certificate is issued for each type of work: plasma welding, manual arc, argon arc, contact point, electroslag, etc.
In the case of specialists, they are also tested on their knowledge of theory and given a practical task. As a result, the specialist receives permission to perform certain activities in production. This may include management, development of documentation, control and other activities. A certificate is provided for each type.
- Based on the results, protocols are drawn up and a conclusion is written.
- Employees who pass the test are issued a certificate.
Experts of all categories - from I to IV - must pass the knowledge and skills test.

Rostekhnadzor explains: Mandatory welding certification
Question:
I ask for your clarification on the legality of the gas distribution organization’s requirements for a 5th category welder to undergo certification according to the NAKS system when installing low-pressure gas pipelines to separately constructed single-apartment residential buildings?
Whereas, according to the Unified Classifier of Specialties (ETKS), the characteristics of the work of an electric gas welder of the 5th category include welding of pipeline fittings, boiler drums with an operating pressure of over 4.0 MPa, as well as external and internal low-pressure gas pipelines.
In connection with the entry into force on September 1, 2016. Federal Law No. 170-FZ on the exclusion from the register of hazardous production facilities of gas distribution networks and low-pressure gas consumption networks, I ask you to provide a link to the regulatory document on the procedure for providing services to the population for the installation and commissioning of gas consumption networks by organizations that are not gas distribution.
Answer: Specialists of the interregional department for supervision of the oil and gas industry, gas distribution and gas consumption facilities have prepared a response on this issue.
According to paragraphs. 1.2, 1.3, 4.1 Rules for the certification of welders and welding production specialists PB 03-273-99, approved. By Decree of the Federal Mining and Industrial Supervision of Russia dated October 30, 1998 No. 63, certification of welders and welding production specialists is carried out in order to establish the sufficiency of their theoretical and practical training, test their knowledge and skills and grant the right to welders and welding production specialists to perform work at facilities under the control of Rostechnadzor. The certification system for welders and welding production specialists (CASv) is a set of requirements that define the rules and procedure for the certification of welders and welding production specialists engaged in the manufacture, reconstruction, installation and repair of equipment and facilities, supervised by Rostechnadzor. NAKS is an organizational and structural part of SASv. Welders are subject to certification for the right to perform specific types of welding work when working at facilities controlled by Rostechnadzor.
In accordance with clause 4 of the Technical Regulations on the safety of gas distribution and gas consumption networks, approved. by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 29, 2010 No. 870 - the requirements of this technical regulation do not apply to the gas consumption network of residential buildings.
Based on the above, the territorial department of Rostekhnadzor does not control the conduct of welding work and the admission of welders to welding work on the gas consumption network of residential buildings. Gas distribution organizations in their work are guided by GOST R 54961-2012 “National Standard of the Russian Federation. Gas distribution systems. Gas consumption networks. General requirements for operation. Operational documentation" .
This standard establishes general technical requirements for the operation of gas consumption networks in residential and apartment buildings, public and administrative buildings, enterprises and boiler houses, the composition and execution of operational documentation during their operation. Clause 4.6 of the specified GOST sets out the requirements for welding work - welding work must be performed using welding materials, equipment and technologies certified in certification centers - specialized organizations accredited in the prescribed manner by the National Certification Committee for Welding Production (NAKS). Question from 06/13/2019:
Is it necessary to carry out certification of welding production to carry out work on the installation of external heating networks (the organization has trained welders, level II welding production specialists).
Answer: Requirements for the installation of external heating networks using welding related to equipment operating under pressure are given in the Federal norms and regulations in the field of industrial safety “Industrial Safety Rules for Hazardous Production Facilities Where Pressure Equipment is Used” (hereinafter - FNP ORPD).
In accordance with clause 92 of the FNP ORPD, installation using welding of equipment under pressure during the construction, reconstruction, technical re-equipment of a hazardous production facility and during its operation must be carried out by specialized organizations that have the status of a legal entity and an organizational form that meets the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation, as well as individual entrepreneurs (hereinafter referred to as specialized organizations).
By definition, a specialized organization is a legal entity (individual entrepreneur) registered on the territory of the Russian Federation, meeting the requirements of Section III of these FNP ORPD, the subject of activity of which is the implementation of one or more types of activities listed in clause 92 of these FNP, which includes, including questions on production certification of welding technology.
Therefore, in order to carry out installation work on equipment under pressure, an organization needs to confirm the status of a specialized organization by fulfilling the requirements of the FNP ORPD.
