1-day course
CPD Credit: 7 hours, C1
Course Aim
The aim of this programme is to equip candidates with the knowledge to fully understand the legal and technical requirements and guidance on how they can ensure contracts are constructed in line with building regulations and the project specification.
Overview
Under the CPR, all products used in construction must now have CE Marking to demonstrate compliance with the harmonised standard. All mainstream construction products are covered by harmonised standards and must therefore be CE Marked.
For fabricated structural steelwork, engineers, contractors, and steelwork contractors should have amended their project specifications accordingly to ensure only CE Marked products are used on their projects.
Learning Objectives
After the course, the participants should be able to:
- Understand the requirements of CE Marking of structural steelwork
- Understand the content of a range of technical documentation and be able to assess such documentation for compliance.
- Be in a position to develop project specifications to ensure compliance with the Construction Production Regulation.
- Interpret welding procedure specifications (WPS) welding procedure qualification records (WPQR) and welder qualification test certificates (WQTC).
- Understand the terminology used in welding, testing, quality assurance and quality control.
- Appreciate the need for welding communication including the correct use of weld symbols and their advantages and limitations.
