UA Welding Qualification Testing

The United Association Welder Certification Program was established in 1993 to provide a means to evaluate and certify UA welders in accordance with applicable building codes. At first, there were four basic welding tests available. Over the years, nearly 100 weld tests have been developed to meet industry demands. Identifying a need for standardized qualification of pipe welders led to a program designed to reduce testing and requalification costs. Additionally, it provides UA-certified welders with a more complete and reliable record of qualification. Integrity is established through the use of supervising contractors, certified welding inspectors, and third-party auditors, thereby ensuring that UA-certified welders meet and exceed industry standards. Standardized requirements establish uniformity, quality, and consistency that promote elevated welder competency. This program has a proven track record of producing UA welders who can perform work at any facility.

The Piping Industry Training Center offers weld qualification testing the 3rd Saturday of every month for UA Members only.  Space is limited and registrations will remain open until the Wednesday, prior to the testing date or until capacity is met, whichever comes first. Please arrive prior to 7:00 am.
