[MW:8182] Re: Renewal of Welder Qualification

YES .

The welder can be qualified on the basis of work done by him within
the period of 6 months( before expiration of his certificate).

Interpretation of QW 322 -"if the welder has not welded more than 6
months - or absent from work, his certification expires and has to be
Re-Qualified, can not be Renewed"
