Normec QS test laboratory recognised by Synergrid
Since April, Normec QS has been included in Synergrid’s list of recognised test labs for the Belgian market.
Certified PE electrofusion welder via Normec QS within 3 days. We offer the entire process, which consists of a theoretical and practical training, followed by an exam and certification. The training complies with the latest NTA 8828 guidelines. Electrofusion welders who pass their exam meet the requirements that pipeline managers set for them.
The curriculum of the PE electrofusion welding course NTA 8828 consists of the following hours:
12 hours of theory education
12 hours of practical training
4 hours practical exam
1 hour theory exam
To make really good quality electrofusion welding, electrofusion welders learn to follow an accurate step-by-step plan. They also learn the theory behind the required welding method and gain insight into the field of application and the material properties. Finally, they learn all about the inspection and reporting requirements.
During the practical lessons, the candidates practice a lot with assessing and adjusting the material. But they also learn to deal with practical conditions, such as carrying out the work in different weather conditions.
All our instructors have a broad technical knowledge. As a result, they are able to clearly explain or implement the underlying theory and practice with regard to load connections.
The training is concluded (on the third day) with both a theory and practical exam. The theory exam is taken in the form of an online multiple choice test. These exams can be booked directly with CITO at a location of your choice.
The practical part of the exam consists of making four welded joints. The quality of this is assessed by an independent examiner. A detachment test determines whether the test documents meet the standard.
When a candidate successfully completes all parts, the welder has passed the exam of electrofusion welder in accordance with the latest version of the NTA 8828 and receives a NEN-recognized certificate and a personal welding pass.
The certificate and welding pass are valid for two years. To renew the certificate, welders must retake the full practical and theoretical exam. In preparation for the exam, participants can prepare via the Normec QS refresher course. Both the refresher course and the exam for the renewal of the certificate are always in accordance with the latest version of the NTA 8828. Retake the exam? Then the certificate and the welding pass are valid for three years.
