Regulations Governing Brazer Certification

Our accredited certification program, developed according to best practices, adheres to specific regulations outlined in several documents and standards. These include:

PN-EN ISO 13585:2012 – This standard pertains to hard brazing, detailing the qualification of brazers and operators involved in hard soldering processes. It defines the requirements for knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to effectively and safely perform hard brazing operations.

PN-EN 12799:2003 – This standard covers general principles of brazing technique, along with requirements for materials, tools, and techniques used during brazing. It provides fundamental guidelines for safety and quality in brazered joints.

PN-EN ISO/IEC 17024:2012 – This standard outlines general requirements for bodies certifying individuals. It establishes accreditation criteria for certifying bodies, ensuring that the certification process is conducted in accordance with the highest standards of quality and objectivity.

Additionally, Centralny Ośrodek Chłodnictwa “COCH” in Kraków has extensive experience in training and certification, integral to our certification program. COCH provides high-quality training and professional certification, fully tailored to the needs and requirements of the brazing industry.

Through adherence to these standards and leveraging COCH’s experience, we ensure that our certified brazers possess not only the necessary theoretical knowledge but also practical skills to perform effective and safe hard brazing, meeting the highest standards of quality and safety.

Our Brazers Certification Program

Our brazers certification program, based on PN-EN ISO 13585:2012 “Hard Soldering – Qualification of Brazers and Operators of Hard brazing,” includes the following stages:

Qualification and Experience Verification: Candidates must meet educational and experience requirements in brazing, particularly in hard brazing of steel, copper, and their alloys.

Theoretical Training: Participants undergo theoretical training to prepare for a written exam according to PN-EN ISO 13585:2012.

Practical Training: Following theoretical training, candidates acquire practical soldering skills, including equipment operation and application of appropriate techniques.

Theoretical Exam: A written exam assesses candidates’ knowledge of PN-EN ISO 13585:2012 requirements and methods for brazing steel and copper (methods designated as 912 according to PN-EN ISO 4063:2011).

Practical Exam: Candidates undergo a practical exam evaluating their skills in applying soldering techniques according to the standard.

Assessment and Certification: Upon successful completion of both exams, candidates receive a certificate confirming their competence in hard brazing according to PN-EN ISO 13585:2012.

Through this process, we ensure that certified brazeres possess the necessary qualifications and skills to perform hard brazing in compliance with international standards of quality and safety.
