Extended HOKLAS Accreditation in Visual Inspection & Bend Tests on Welded Shear Studs

We are delighted to announce that we have successfully extended our scope of HOKLAS accreditation in Visual Inspection & Bend Tests on welded shear studs, to cope with our customer’s increased demand for testing of this kind.

Most specifications usually stipulate Visual Inspection & Bend Tests as mandatory tests in the production stage, to check the quality of the shear stud welded joint. These tests identify any visual defects in the weld, either before or after the Bend Test. Through these tests, an expected quality level of stud welded joint in a steel component will be ensured.

The test standards we are accredited in that cover most contractual requirements are:

1. Code of Practice for the Structural Use of Steel 2011
2. BS EN ISO 14555:2017
3. BS 5400-6:1999
