What is Las Vegas Welder Qualification Record Verification Form?
The Welder Qualification Record (WQR) Verification is a one-page City of Las Vegas Department of Building & Safety form that documents an inspector's review of each welder's qualification records on a project and certifies that the records are complete and in compliance.
The form identifies the project through the QAA, project name, project address, permit number and welding company. A table then lists, for each welder, the welder's name, the qualified welding process, the qualified position, the thickness and qualification date, and the dates on which the original and updated qualification letters were received.
The printed text sets out what the inspector must check. The inspector reviews all welder qualification records (WQR) to verify that the welder is qualified to weld using the welding process qualified, and for the joint types, materials and material thicknesses specified in the approved project plans. The inspector also reviews the welder documentation to verify that the qualification is current and in accordance with the applicable AWS welding code.
By signing and dating the form, the inspector certifies that he or she has reviewed and verified that the WQR information is complete and in compliance with Clark County codes and the applicable AWS welding code.
The form is an inspection verification record. It is not a permit application, and it does not itself qualify a welder.
Who needs to file Las Vegas Welder Qualification Record Verification Form?
The inspector who reviews the welder qualification records for a project completes and signs this form. The form states that the inspector shall review all WQR and certifies the review by signing and dating it, with the inspector's printed name entered above the signature.
The QAA named at the top of the form is the party whose final report must include the completed form (note 1 on the form). The welding company is identified in its own box, and every welder who works on the project appears as a row in the table.
Contractors and welders do not sign this form. They are the subject of the verification: their qualification records are what the inspector reviews. The form states that the WQR documents themselves are not required to be included with it, although the city is required to keep them in its office for future reference.
If you are unsure whether a project requires this verification, call Building & Safety at (702) 229-6251 or visit www.LasVegasNevada.gov/BuildingPermits, the contact details printed on the form.
When to file Las Vegas Welder Qualification Record Verification Form
The form is completed when the inspector reviews the welder qualification records for a project, and it then goes into the QAA's final report. Note 1 on the form states that the QAA's final report must include this form, so it travels with that report. The form prints no separate due date.
Because the inspector certifies that each welder's qualification is current and in accordance with the applicable AWS welding code, the review concerns the welders' status as shown by their records. The table asks for the dates on which the original and updated qualification letters were received, so those dates should be known before the form is finalized.
For timing questions on a specific project, contact Building & Safety at (702) 229-6251.
