Also known as: CSWIP 3.1, CSWIP 3.2, Certification Scheme for Welding and Inspection Personnel.
What it covers
CSWIP welding inspector grades assess knowledge of welding processes, imperfections, codes and inspection practice, with practical inspection of weld samples. Senior grades add responsibility for procedures, welder qualifications and NDT interpretation. TWI Certification maintains the register.
CSWIP in AMPS
Welding inspectors often hold CSWIP alongside NDT method certificates and site inductions. AMPS keeps personnel and equipment certificates on dedicated personnel and equipment pages, and its flag system warns one month before a certificate, calibration document or scheduled inspection falls due, so managers always know what is missing or expiring.
