To attract youngsters to work as welders, Asian Welders Federation, an newly formed apex body of welding industry, is working out a new Common Welder Qualification, which would be valid in any of the Asian countries, unlike the different standards and certificates prevailing in various countries.
The draft scheme for the certification was given shape at a meeting of the Federation at Delhi in November last year, which would be finalised at its meeting in Beijing scheduled in May, said M. Rajasekharan, secretary, Indian Welding Society.
Modalities like duration of the training course would be worked after the approval in the meeting by representatives of 13 countries, which are the members of the Federation by July or August. — PTI
