Responsible Welding Coordinator (RWC) | Triple Arc UK

Triple Arc Welding Solutions provides Responsible Welding Coordinator (RWC) and welding coordination services aligned with ISO 14731.

Welding coordination represents a defined control function within recognised quality frameworks, ensuring welding activities remain consistent with procedural qualifications, competency requirements, and applicable standards. The role provides structured oversight of welding governance, qualification management, and documentation control.

Our services support organisations requiring formal welding coordination functions under frameworks such as ISO 3834, EN 1090, and EN 15085.


Scope of Welding Coordination Activities

Welding coordination activities are structured to maintain control, consistency, and alignment across welding-related processes, qualifications, and production practices.

Typical coordination activities may include:

• Review of welding and quality requirements
• Verification of Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) applicability
• Oversight of qualification strategy and variable coverage
• Welder qualification and competency alignment
• Welding documentation and record management
• Interface with inspection and quality functions
