Key points for fabricators

• Choose the part that matches the contract: EN 1090-2 links EXC3/EXC4 to part 2.
• Certification is usually done by a third-party body and is often a pre-qualification requirement for export projects.
• Records must show which WPS and which qualified welder produced each weld where traceability is required.
