AS 1796 2022 - Overview for Users

 

AS1796 is the Australian Standard relating to the certification of welders and welding supervisors. AS1796 which was last published in 2001 has stood the test of time but now needs to be revised to align the standard with current trends and international best practice.

This presentation will provide an overview of the draft with a focus on four key aspects—

·       Alignment of welder requirements to AS/NZS ISO 9606.1 (consistent with AS 3992)

·       Updating the welding supervisor requirements consistent with AS/NZS 2214

·       Adding a new qualification for welding inspectors

·       Application of current Standards Australia policy requirements

 

WHO AND WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND:

This session is relevant to all, but particularly those active in the pressure equipment and the defence industry.

The presentation will provide you with:

·       An overview of the draft including what has changed and why

·       What is not being changed

·       Details of new qualification options for pressure equipment welding inspection personnel
