QW-201 Manufacturer's or Contractor's
Responsibility
Each manufacturer or contractor shall list the parameters
applicable to welding that he performs in construction
of weldments built in accordance with this Code.
These parameters shall be listed in a document known
as a Welding Procedure Specification (WPS).
Each manufacturer or contractor shall qualify the WPS
by the welding of test coupons and the testing of specimens
(as required in this Code), and the recording of the welding
data and test results in a document known as a Procedure
Qualification Record (PQR). The welders or welding operators
used to produce weldments to be tested for qualification
of procedures shall be under the full supervision and
control of the manufacturer or contractor during the production
of these test weldments. The weldments to be
tested for qualification of procedures shall be welded either
by direct employees or by individuals engaged by contract
for their services as welders or welding operators under the
full supervision and control of the manufacturer or contractor.
It is not permissible for the manufacturer or contractor
to have the supervision and control of welding of the test
weldments performed by another organization. It is permissible,
however, to subcontract any or all of the work of
preparation of test metal for welding and subsequent work
on preparation of test specimens from the completed weldment,
performance of nondestructive examination, and
mechanical tests, provided the manufacturer or contractor
accepts the responsibility for any such work.
The Code recognizes a manufacturer or contractor
as the organization which has responsible operational
control of the production of the weldments to be made
in accordance with this Code.
If in an organization
effective operational control of welding procedure qualification
for two or more companies of different names
exists, the companies involved shall describe in their
Quality Control system/Quality Assurance Program, the
operational control of procedure qualifications. In this
case separate welding procedure qualifications are not
required, provided all other requirements of Section IX
are met.
A WPS may require the support of more than one
PQR, while alternatively, one PQR may support a
number of WPSs.
The manufacturer or contractor shall certify that he
has qualified each Welding Procedure Specification,
performed the procedure qualification test, and documented
it with the necessary Procedure Qualification
Record (PQR).

Hello experts, is there any code/standard reference for below statement?--"If a PQR is qualified for one location of company, same can be used for another location provided the other facility/location is under same technical And Quality administration as of the qualified one"Regards,Vivek.
