[MW:11967] RE: 11956] SMAW - Welding Electrode Holder

With this design the electrode or the holder will come in contact with the work and cause scarring of the surface, have your quality assurance find these areas and have the contractor rework the area. This will cost the contractor extra and they will see it is cheaper to replace the holder than to rework the scarred areas.

The holder being used is not a CE approved holder and provides the welder no safety while performing his job, have your safety people condemn the holder and offer to replace the holders for the contractor.

These are the only solutions I see.

Subject: [MW:11956] SMAW - Welding Electrode Holder

 

Dear Member,

 

I have come across to know that our contractor is using Welding Electrode Holder as per the attached photo. Contractor is big enough to force without standard, so, I am searching for any International Standard which helps to force them to replace this kind of Welding Electrode Holder with the Standard one, which all of you know.

 

I have come to know one standard - IEC - 60974 - 11, but that is only for Safety point of view, which is not enough.

 

Request for the help.

 

Thanks & Regards,

 

Ashish Soni.

Essar.
