Global Solar Certification, GSC

The Global Solar Certification Network, GSCN is a cooperation between solar thermal industry, certification and inspection bodies around the world aiming at harmonization of certification and test procedures for solar thermal collectors. When a product has been certified by one of the participating certification bodies/schemes, the product can obtain certification from other participating certification bodies/schemes without re-testing of the product and without re-inspection of production facilities.

International Education, Qualification and Certification Systems in Welding

The International System for Education and Qualification of Welding Personnel has been implemented based on the harmonised European System for education and qualification of welding personnel. This paper gives an overview of the International System focusing on the training guidelines and the quality assurance system developed. Systems for harmonisation of Certification of Welding Personnel and for supporting companies using welding to implement ISO 3834 have been developed by EWF and are presently being transferred to IIW in line with the EWF/IIW agreement established in 2000.
