Accreditations & Partnerships

Achieving and maintaining compliance with ISO and ASME standards is a serious investment of time, training, and capital, but operating without them is a massive commercial, legal, and–moreover–a safety risk. Navigate the complexities of international engineering and welding standards with NECIT Services.


Major global operators in oil, gas, infrastructure, and rail explicitly state in their tendering documents that contractors must hold, for example, ISO 3834, EN 15085, or ASME IX qualifications. Without them, your company's bid is discarded before it is even reviewed. NECIT upholds these internationally-recognised codes which form the global bedrock of safety, liability protection, and quality assurance, so your business can operate with confidence and full compliance. Achieving third-party certification signals to clients that your facility operates under a universal framework, that furthermore can streamline onboarding processes, remove the need for additional expensive, intrusive audits, and elevates your business to that of a high-value engineering partner. 
 

Frequently asked
What does it mean that NECIT is a UKAS-accredited Type A Inspection Body?
A Type A Inspection Body is the most independent classification under ISO/IEC 17020, it means NECIT delivers third-party inspection with complete impartiality and no commercial stake in the outcome of the work it assesses. That independence is verified by UKAS, the UK's sole national accreditation body. NECIT also holds ISO/IEC 17024 as a Personnel Certification Body (No. 23388) and is a Government-recognised Third Party Organisation (RTPO) under the Pressure Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016, so the certificates we issue carry statutory recognition, not just commercial assurance.
Frequently asked
Which welding certification standards does NECIT certify to?
NECIT provides welding certification against the internationally recognised codes that tenders demand, including ISO 3834 (quality requirements for fusion welding), ISO 9606 (welder qualification), ISO 15614 (welding procedure qualification) and ASME IX. Holding certification to these standards signals to clients that your facility operates within a universal quality framework recognised across jurisdictions, removing barriers to contract.
Frequently asked
What is a WPQR, and can NECIT issue one?
A WPQR - Welding Procedure Qualification Record, is the document proving a welding procedure has been tested and meets the requirements of the applicable code, such as ISO 15614 or ASME IX. As a UKAS-accredited body, NECIT qualifies and certifies welding procedures, welders and welding operators, issuing WPQRs that are accepted internationally. It's one of the most requested elements of any welding certification package.
Frequently asked
Why do tender documents require third-party certification?
Major operators in oil and gas, infrastructure and rail routinely specify standards such as ISO 3834 or ASME IX as a condition of tender, without them, a bid is discarded before it's even reviewed. Independent, third-party certification from an accredited body like NECIT removes the need for costly client audits, streamlines onboarding, and proves your work meets the same universal benchmark as every other qualified contractor. It's the difference between being eligible to bid and being excluded.
