Norweld: CWB Certified Welding Excellence

Committed to Canada’s Highest Standards in Welding Quality and Safety

At Norweld, quality and safety are foundational pillars of our fabrication services. We are proud to be certified by the Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB), demonstrating our unwavering commitment to meeting and exceeding Canada’s rigorous national standards for welding. This certification provides our clients with tangible assurance regarding the competence, quality control, and reliability embedded in our welding operations.

What is CWB Certification?

The Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) operates under the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) as the national certification body for welding companies in Canada. CWB Certification is based on specific Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standards, such as CSA W47.1 for steel and CSA W47.2 for aluminum.

Achieving CWB certification means a company has demonstrated that its welding personnel, procedures, and quality management systems consistently meet the demanding requirements of these nationally recognized standards. It’s a comprehensive process involving evaluation, verification, and ongoing audits

Norweld’s Certification Details

 

Norweld maintains active CWB certification, confirming our capabilities in the fusion welding of steel structures. Our company certification is specifically maintained under CSA Standard W47.1: Certification of Companies for Fusion Welding of Steel” This certification confirms that Norweld employs CWB-qualified Welding Supervisors responsible for overseeing welding quality, utilizes CWB-tested and qualified Welders certified for the specific welding processes and positions employed, develops and adheres to CWB-approved Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Welding Procedure Data Sheets (WPDS). and maintains documented quality control practices that meet CWB requirements.

What CWB Certification Means for Norweld

  • Regulatory Compliance: Meets requirements frequently mandated by the National Building Code of Canada, provincial building codes (like the Ontario Building Code), engineering specifications, and specific project contracts.
  • Enhanced Safety and Structural Integrity: Adherence to certified procedures directly contributes to the safety, reliability, and longevity of fabricated structures and components.
  • Proven Competence: Independent, third-party verification of our welding expertise, equipment, personnel, and quality systems.
  • Risk Mitigation: Reduces risks associated with welding defects or non-compliance, providing peace of mind and demonstrating due diligence.

When is CWB Certification Essential?
