7. Certification 7.1 The American Welding Society shall issue to each CWSR applicant who meets all requirements of this stan- dard a serialized certificate and wallet card stating the applicant has met the AWS certification requirements. The initial period of certification shall be valid for three (3) years. 7.2 Certification becomes effective on the first day of the month following the date of the examination, and expires on the first day of that month, 3 years later. For purposes of renewal and recertification, an expiration grace period of 30 days exists from the expiration date. 8. Revocation 8.1 The Certification Committee shall have the power to suspend, refuse the renewal of, or revoke the CWSR certification for misrepresentation of facts regarding personal qualification and status relating to certification as a welding sales representative whether such misrepre- sentation was made at the time of application or on subsequent applications or renewals. 8.2 The Committee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for further enforcement of its administrative decisions and rulings.9. Reinstatement Reinstatement of a revoked certificate shall be allowed with no penalty or prejudice to the individual, provided the cause for such revocation has been rectified to the Committee’S satisfaction.10. Renewal 10.1 The period of validity for the AWS CWSR creden- tials is three (3) years. 10.2 Prior to the end of three years, certificate holders are required to renew the certification if they wish to main- tain their CWSR credentials. Renewal requires written documentation to support evidence of continued activity in the occupational position of welding sales representa- tive. If the certification is allowed to lapse beyond the grace period, renewal is not permitted; a new application for certification shall be submitted, and the educational and examination requirements of Clause 5 and 6.1 shall be met. 11. Recertification 11.1 After two (2) consecutive renewals [total of nine (9) years of continuous certification], the certificate holder is required to recertify to maintain CWSR credentials by meeting the requirements of 11.1.1 and 11.1.2. 11.1.1 Documentation to support evidence of contin- ued activity in the occupational position of welding sales representative shall be provided.11.1.2 The certificate holder shall successfully pass the CWSR written examinations as defined in 6.1 or be exempt from the exam by applying 11.2.11.2 As an alternative to 11.1.2, the certificate holder may demonstrate continued education in subject areas identified in Clause 7 of AWS B5.14 equivalent to 80 professional development hours (PDH) over the nine (9) year period of certification with 20 PDH being com- pleted in the immediate three (3) year period preceding the 9-year recertification. 12. Responsibility 12.1 The responsibility for the maintenance (renewal and recertification) of AWS certification is solely with the certificate holder. Failure to maintain a current address with the AWS Certification Department and subsequent failure of notification shall not be considered adequate justification to allow an extension of the certification validity date. 12.2 As a courtesy, the AWS Certification Department will attempt to notify each CWSR of the expiration of the certification and the requirements of renewal or recertifi- cation. Notices shall be mailed approximately 90 days in advance of the expiration date of the certification.AWS QC14 pdf download.
