Re: [MW:30663] TPI approval on WPS

For projects in middle east it is almost mandatory that a TPI is used although it is not a code requirement. In other countries u may follow what is prevailing in those countries.

Each organisation can certify WPS/PQR. refer ASME Sec-IX- QW 201,  TPI review/witness is NOT mandatory,

TPI review / witness is Not code requirements, this is to satisfy customers that they have qualified WPS/PQR  upfront with third party check than vendors own personal. 

Also note, code allows SWPS - Prequalified WPS, means u can understand that does not require TPI involvement ! 

Thanks and Regards

No. TPI can witness PQR and can review WPS. TPI can't Certify PQR and can't Approve WPS. In ISO as examining body, they can certify WPQR not WPS.
