9.2.1 The assessment shall implement a supervision system. The chief
examiner and invigilator shall be determined by the examination committee for
each examination. The chief examiner shall be the technical person in charge
of the examination institution or a person with qualifications of welding engineer
and above.
9.2.2 The assessment supervision contents are as follows:
9.2.2.1 Check whether the welder's assessment plan and test papers and test
pieces are consistent with the actual assessment content.
9.2.2.2 Check whether the assessment management system is complete;
review the qualifications of welders participating in the assessment.

tack welding and welding conditions conform to the welding procedure
specification.
9.2.2.4 Check the welding specification parameters; observe the welding
operation process; check the examination room discipline; fill in the supervision
record.
9.2.2.5 Supervise the visual inspection and evaluation of the test piece.
is insufficient for sampling, it allows to weld other test pieces.
10.4.3 Taking a double number of specimens to make re-examination means:
if one piece (piece) is unqualified, two pieces can be taken for re-examination;
however, in one of the following cases, the re-examination is not allowed.
10.4.3.1 In the bending test, both face and back bends are unqualified;
10.4.3.2 Two pieces of the fracture inspection are unqualified;
10.4.3.3 The metallographic inspection of the sheet's T-joint and the pipe-sheet
test piece failed;
10.4.3.4 In the inspection process, two or more items are unqualified at the
same time (such as bending and metallography, bending and fracture,
metallography and fracture, etc.).
10.4.4 When the double number of re-examinations is still unqualified, the
welder shall be allowed to make exercise for not less than one week within one
month, then take the re-examination; if the re-examination is still unqualified,
the test item is judged as unqualified.
