This webinar series offers ongoing professional development and a refresher to Welding Supervisors to keep them updated on the recent developments with the standards and offer a platform to ask questions.

Steel Structures designed to NZS 3404 or AS/NZS 5100.6 are required to be fabricated and erected in accordance with AS/NZS 5131 Structural steelwork – Fabrication and erection. This standard makes references to a number of welding-related standards such as AS/NZS 1554 series that are also applicable for applications such as: trailer manufacturing, marine and boatbuilding, maintenance etc.

Welding supervisors are responsible for ensuring compliance of welding operations including quality management systems with the requirements of the Construction Category (CC) specified for the job and the implementation of the welding quality management system to AS/NZS ISO 3834 and/or AS/NZS 1554.1.
To ensure compliance of welded steel components, in addition to the qualifications and work experience, welding professionals also need to undertake professional development and stay updated on the latest changes to the standards in areas such as:

  • welding procedures
  • weldability of materials
  • applicable standards
  • weld inspection, and NTT
  • quality management systems

This Webinar Series is aimed at a refresher course for welding professionals with expertise in the field. It is especially relevant to AS/NZS 2214 Welding Supervisors, Welding Specialists and Engineers to wish to stay updated on several hot topics that will be covered in this webinar series. It will also be very relevant to welding inspectors and NDT personnel.

The Webinar Series will be based on the following standards framework: NZS 3404; AS/NZS 5131; AS/NZS 1554 Part 1, 2, 3 and 6, AS/NZS ISO 3834 Part 2, AS/NZS 1664, AS/NZS ISO 17637; AS/NZS 9606.1; and AS/NZS 2980. The webinars will also make references to ISO, EN, ASME and AWS standards.

The Webinars will be presented by HERA’s welding experts and will include a 45 min long presentation followed by a Q&A session.
All prices include GST.
