To provide independent, objective execution-risk validation that improves decision-making before work begins—reducing failures, rework, and safety exposure across critical welding operations.
On-Site Weld Execution Validation Services
STEELCERTS provides independent, code-based on-site weld execution validation for organizations requiring objective verification of welder readiness prior to critical work. This service confirms real-time execution capability through controlled weld exercises, code-based visual acceptance, and documented performance evidence.
STEELCERTS does not issue welding certifications. This service provides execution-risk validation based on observed performance under defined conditions.
