What is Welder Qualification Record (WQR) Verification – Las Vegas?
The Welder Qualification Record (WQR) Verification is the City of Las Vegas Department of Building & Safety form on which an inspector documents that each welder's qualification records (WQR) were reviewed and found complete and in compliance with the applicable codes.
The form's printed statement tells the inspector what the review covers. The inspector verifies that each welder is qualified for the welding process used, and for the joint types, materials and material thicknesses specified in the approved project plans. The inspector also reviews the welder's documentation to confirm that the qualification is current and follows the applicable AWS welding code. By signing and dating the form, the inspector certifies that the WQR information is complete and in compliance with Clark County codes and the applicable AWS welding code.
The form has a header with the QAA, project name, project address, permit number and welding company. Below it, a table lists each welder by name with the qualified welding process, the qualified thickness and position, the original qualification date and the updated letter received date. An inspector name, signature and date block closes the page.
The form belongs with the QAA's final report. The WQR documents themselves are not part of this form; the office keeps them for future reference. The City lists its building permits page at www.LasVegasNevada.gov/BuildingPermits and the phone number (702) 229-6251 on the form.
Who needs to file Welder Qualification Record (WQR) Verification – Las Vegas?
The inspector who reviews the welder qualification records for a project completes and signs this form. The printed statement says the inspector shall review all WQRs and certifies the review by signing and dating the form, so the signature belongs to the inspector, not to the welder or the welding company.
The form is tied to a specific project. It asks for the QAA, project name, project address, permit number and welding company, so it applies where a permitted project involves welders whose qualifications must be checked against the approved project plans.
Welders appear on the form as entries in the table, with their qualified process, thickness and position and their qualification dates. They do not sign it.
The form also states that the QAA's final report must include it, so whoever assembles the QAA's final report for the project needs the completed form. The form does not describe any exemption or any other person who may sign in the inspector's place; questions can go to the Department of Building & Safety at (702) 229-6251.
When to file Welder Qualification Record (WQR) Verification – Las Vegas
The form is completed when the inspector has reviewed the welder qualification records for the project, because it records the result of that review and is signed and dated by the inspector. The form states that the QAA's final report must include it, so it has to be finished before that report is put together. No separate due date is printed on it; it travels with the QAA's final report. The form also asks for the date each welder's updated letter was received, so entries reflect the records on file when the inspector signs. For timing questions tied to a particular permit or project, the form lists the Department of Building & Safety phone number, (702) 229-6251.
