the test pieces to the qualified test house. The PWE shall not examine any candidate trained by himself. The PWE shall reach his professional decisions independently. The PWE shall check the test house qualification and, where applicable, the training centre. 7 Range of qualification The designation of a plastics welder's test shall be formed according to the group and sub-group and the range of qualification (see Table 1 or Table 2). The range of validity of qualification shall be shown on the certificate. 8 Welding of test piece 8.1 Difficulties and corrections whilst welding the test piece If difficulties arise during the practical test
that are not caused by the welder, a test piece on which welding has been started may be replaced after qualification by the PWE or invigilator. Errors made or occurring during the hot gas or extrusion welding may be repaired only after permission has been given by the PWE or invigilator. 8.2 Inspection requirements Before welding, the PWE or invigilator shall check the identity of candidate, the suitability of the materials, WPS, machines and equipment. The test piece shall be identified with the number or mark of the PWE or
invigilator and the welder. The PWE or invigilator shall supervise the welding of the test piece. The welder shall complete the welding record sheet (see proposal given in Annex A) controlled and witnessed by the PWE or invigilator. The PWE or invigilator shall stop the test if the welding conditions a
