What “Coded” Means and Why It Matters

A coded welder has passed a welding qualification test to a recognised code or standard, proving they can produce welds that meet the quality and safety requirements of a specific industry or contract. Many marine, energy and industrial employers require coded welders by spec, so holding the right coding opens up higher-value contract work.
