Compliance to this Technical Report is the responsibility of the organization involved in the welding activities. Where supervision is p
31、erformed by more than one person, the tasks and responsibilities should be allocated such that responsibility is clearly defined and the persons are competent in each specific welding supervision task. 4.2 Pre-welding activities 4.2.1 General The PWS should be able to conduct and/or verify the activ
32、ities described in 4.2.2 to 4.2.8. 4.2.2 Contract review The PWS should verify the ability of all organizations, including sub-contractors, involved in the project to carry out activities related to welding covered by this Technical Report, e.g. availability of welding and ancillary equipment, quali
