Certification of an individual or company is a proof of legitimacy and recognition of them as professionals in a given field. Certification also demonstrates the organization’s commitment to quality. In metal workmanship, there are several forms of certification available in Canada. Consequently, there are various organizations offering certification programs in Canada. Certified metal fabricators are obligated to operate under strict oversight and regulation by the respective certifying organizations. For instance, sheet metal fabrication specialists in Canada are required to operate within a certified framework where they always face the possibility of performance and quality audits. Below are some common metal fabrication programs in Canada.

CISC Steel Bridges Certification

Designed and offered by the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction (CISC), this certification aims to guarantee commitment to quality work among companies dealing with steel structures and bridges. By focusing on the specifics of the fabrication firm, the certification aims to offer cutting edge services to the target market by establishing control and balances to which the firms are required to comply. 

Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) Certification

Designed to offer a rigorous training and quality review among welders, CWB certification is among the top Canadian certifications to go for. The CWB Group ensures that all the steel welders in the country comply with ethical and operational standards on the quality of joints and value systems in all pre-fabricated welding works, including plate and sheet metal fabrication. Among the most common CWB certifications are CWB 47.1 and 47.2 standards.

2-G and 3-G certification

These are certifications relating to the use and handling of stainless steel. The certification series recognizes efficacy in industrial handling of wire, flux core, and all other grades of stainless steel.
