Many regulated engineering sectors that employ welding including EN 1090 and EN 15085 now require manufacturers to appoint an RWC (Responsible Welding Coordinator) with the appropriate level of technical welding knowledge and experience as defined in ISO 14731.

Thames Welding can provide Certified International Welding Engineers with many years of experience in high integrity, safety-critical environments acting as RWC up to  Execution class 4 of EN 1090 and CL1 of EN 15085 at comprehensive level.

Thames Welding can provide technical advice on the following subjects:

• Welding procedure qualification.
