Qualifications

and Certifications. The Welding Federation (TWF) personnel development schemes is a harmonized scheme that unifies skill development and evaluation to ensure proper harmonization in quality benchmarks, uniformity in manufacturing systems leading to effortless trade of manufactured materials across economies in Africa. TWF scheme is Africa’s reliable system for identifying and addressing burdens, opportunities and materials manufacturing industry challenges across Africa. Next Steps Access More Information ISO 3834 Certification. TWF in collaboration with SAIW Certification is committed to helping your company achieve and maintain ISO 3834 certification in an as easy, cost-effective and productive manner as possible to provide you with a tangible return on your investment. ISO 3834 certification boosts a manufacturer’s ability to sell its products in domestic and international markets. This is because compliance with ISO 3834 provides recognition and assurance of their capabilities and globally recognised welding standards. Next Steps SAIPEC 2024 The Welding Federation is a proud partner of Sub Saharan Annual International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (SAIPEC). SAIPEC brings together thought leaders and investors annually to review and address limitations in Africa’s energy industries towards promoting energy adequacy and sustainability in Africa. SAIPEC focuses primarily on encouraging African Content Development as a strategic tool for energy development and sustainability.

TWF looks forward to SAIPEC 2024
