The Certification Scheme for Quality Personnel (CSQP) is a global scheme which provides the certification to individuals who strive to demonstrate their knowledge and/or competence in their field of service. The scope of CSQP includes Welding Inspectors, Quality professionals and Non-Destructive Testing personnel. CSQP is managed by the Certification Management Board, which acts as the Governing Board for Certification, in keeping with the requirements of the industries served by the scheme.
The Certification Management Board, in turn, appoints specialist Management Committees to oversee specific parts of the scheme. All CSQP Boards and Committees comprise member representatives of relevant industrial and other interests. AQC is accredited by SAC to BS EN ISO 17024:2012
AQC understands the significance of impartiality in administering certification activities, governing conflict of interest and ensuring the fairness of all certification activities, in conformity with BS EN ISO 17024:2012.
The AQC is the professional organization which is involved in the Certification of NDT, Welding & Quality personnel.
