Independent Weld Execution Risk Validation

STEELCERTS evaluates human execution risk in welding and related asset-protection activities—before failures expose safety, schedule, or capital.

Who We Are

We provide independent execution-risk validation that gives employers trustworthy skill data—and gives welders objective proof of their readiness before production welding begins.

Objective Data

Independent validation employers trust to reduce hiring and deployment risk.

Evidence-Based

Confident staffing decisions backed by observed performance—not assumptions.

Welder Readiness

A clear, current view of execution capability before stepping into a test or jobsite.

What We Do


Weld Execution Risk Validation

Independent evaluation using standardized weld tasks, visual acceptance logic, and destructive-test outcomes to assess current execution risk.

Risk Scoring & Readiness Indicators

Data-driven readiness indicators that signal whether a welder is likely to succeed under test conditions.

Gap Identification & Skill Profiling

Clear identification of recurring discontinuities, technique gaps, and execution behaviors associated with destructive-test failure modes.

Readiness Validation Reports

Objective, third-party reports welders can present to employers, training programs, or certifying bodies as evidence of current readiness.

Who We Serve

We help employers make confident, evidence-based deployment decisions—while giving welders a clear, objective view of their readiness before testing or production work begins.

Welding Schools & Training Programs

We help welding schools & training programs through independent benchmarking and objective readiness validation. STEELCERTS provides performance data aligned with industry acceptance logic, giving schools clear insight into curriculum effectiveness, recurring skill gaps, and overall student preparedness—helping reduce certification test failures and improve training outcomes.

Contractors, Employers & Asset Owners

We support contractors and employers with third-party execution-risk validation that goes beyond paper certifications. Our evaluations provide objective insight into a welder’s current ability to perform under real test conditions, helping reduce hiring risk, rework, and failed qualifications before production welding begins.

Independent Welders

We empower welders with clear, unbiased feedback on current execution readiness before certification testing or job placement. STEELCERTS assessments identify technique gaps, recurring discontinuities, and execution behaviors associated with test failure—providing welders with verified readiness documentation they can present to schools and employers with confidence.

How it works

1

Select Your Execution Risk Kit

Choose the applicable code and configuration for your Welder Execution Risk Kit (W-ERK™).

2

Complete the Weld Under Test Conditions

Prepare and weld the provided coupon under normal test conditions and complete the required documentation.

3

Ship to the STEELCERTS Lab

Use the provided return instructions to send your completed coupon to the STEELCERTS lab for independent evaluation.

4

Receive Your Execution Risk Report

Within 48 hours of receipt, you’ll receive a third-party execution risk report detailing visual acceptance results, destructive test outcomes, and readiness indicators.

Standard test methods are used as measurement tools—not certification events—to quantify current execution risk.

To provide independent, objective execution-risk validation that improves decision-making before work begins—reducing failures, rework, and safety exposure across critical trades.

Our Mission

We deliver accuracy over assurance by providing data—not optimism—grounded in code, observable evidence, and repeatable metrics. Every evaluation is fully transparent, showing the criteria, results, and supporting evidence with no hidden processes or subjective opinions. As an independent third-party lab, our integrity comes from a bias toward the code and the data—not a pass or fail outcome. We are committed to raising the industry standard by making weld readiness objective, auditable, and measurable—giving welders and employers confidence built on evidence, not luck.

Our Values

To remove guesswork from critical decisions by making welder readiness visible, objective, and accountable—so failures are identified early, skills are trusted with confidence, and people and assets are protected before risk turns into consequence.

Our Purpose

Ready for Clarity?

STEELCERTS does not issue welding certifications. We provide independent execution-risk validation based on observed performance under defined test conditions.

Stop Guessing. Start Knowing.
