Welder qualification tracking
Welder qualification and certification tracking software
Soteriaa is welder qualification software that keeps each welder's qualifications and certificates in one register, with the recorded ranges, expiry dates and continuity status, so you can see which welders hold a current qualification for the work in front of you. Ranges are entered as written on the certificate: Soteriaa does not issue certification or calculate ranges.

Welder certification tracking software
Qualification and certification records in one register
As welder certification tracking software, Soteriaa holds the certificate details your examining body issued, one record per qualification. "Certification" here means the certificate you already hold; Soteriaa does not issue or approve certification.
- Standard recorded as written, for example ISO 9606-1:2017, ASME IX or AWS D1.1.
- Process, material group, product type, joint type, position and backing on every record.
- Thickness and diameter ranges entered as written on the certificate.
- Date qualified, examining body and certificate number, with the source document linked.
- Revalidation basis recorded as three-year, two-year (NDT) or unlimited under ISO 3834, with the due date.
One record per qualification
Recorded ranges, certificate details, continuity and status shown together.
Fictional examples
Worked examples: ISO 9606-1, ASME IX and AWS D1.1
Labelled fictional records, one per standard family. In each one the ranges are typed in as written on the certificate or test record. Soteriaa does not calculate them.
ISO 9606-1 (fictional welder W-014)
Standard ISO 9606-1:2017, process 135, material group FM1, plate, butt weld, position PF, thickness range copied from the certificate. Revalidation basis two-year (NDT) with its due date. Next continuity due six months after the last confirmation.
ASME IX (fictional welder W-022)
Standard recorded as ASME IX, with the process, positions and thickness and diameter limits copied from the WPQ as written. Under QW-322 a qualification lapses if the welder has not used the process for six months (TWI), so the continuity date is the one to watch. The revalidation basis options follow ISO 9606-1, so enter the review date your own procedure sets.
AWS D1.1 (fictional welder W-031)
Standard recorded as AWS D1.1, with details copied from the Welder, Welding Operator, or Tack Welder Qualification Test Record (often called a WQTR): process, positions and thickness limit as written. Soteriaa records the dates your procedure sets; it does not apply D1.1 rules.

Confirm to save
Nothing is saved until you confirm. WPS and WPQR import is not available; add those records by hand.
The welder register
Continuity and expiry
Each qualification carries its next continuity date and revalidation date. Soteriaa sends scheduled email reminders before either falls due (by default 90, 60 and 7 days before, plus an overdue reminder). A supervisor still confirms continuity; see welder continuity tracking software for how that works.
The welder list shows the most urgent status across each welder's qualifications, so a welder with one overdue qualification does not look clear. Due soon means within 30 days for continuity and 90 days for revalidation.

Boundaries
What it does not do
Soteriaa keeps the records; technical judgement stays with your welding coordinator.
Soteriaa does not certify welders, has no code engine, and does not calculate, check or approve qualification ranges. It is not ERP, machine telemetry or NDT execution. Procedures sit beside the register in welding procedure software for WPS and WPQR records. Welding is £79/month or £790/year after a 14-day free trial.
