• Understand and ensure compliance of applicable safety requirements
1 Welding Inspector - Standard level

2 Supervise the activities of Welding Inspectors - Basic level as given in A, b) above
3 Independently carry out the following functions
• All functions carried out by a Welding Inspector - Basic level as given in A, b) 1 to 6 above
• Develop, comment and review quality control plans and inspection & testing plans based on product
standards, codes, specifications, drawings and statutory/regulatory requirements.
• Review welding procedures (WPS) for compliance with code and contract requirements and verify welding
procedure qualification (WPQR) compliance.
• Witness procedure qualification test including testing of specimen and verify compliance with WPQRs,
WPSs and Welders Qualification against applicable standards for conventional welding processes. (e.g.
arc welding processes, steels, aluminium alloys etc.)
• Verify the compliance of PWHT procedures against the applicable standards.
• Verify NDT procedure compliance

• Take decisions on acceptance of quality documents related to welded fabrication (eg NDT, material testing,
production testing, etc.)
• Take decisions based on quality documents (e.g. NDT, Material Testing, production testing, etc.) according
to the requirements defined for the construction
• Implement weld inspection quality assurance plans
• Evaluation & acceptance of welded fabrication on the basis of DT & NDT test reports.

• Conduct surveillance and audit of suppliers and vendors
