Benefits of Manufacturers certification

• Advantages for the Manufacturers in getting a certification against the IIW MCS, can be summarised as follows:
  - welded products are differently treated according to the specific needs of the welding manufacture process used;
  - manufacturers can be guided to satisfy regional or international product standards’ requirements through implementation of the Scheme;
  - the specific areas of competence (for personnel and companies) are explicitly encompassed and registered in the Schedule;
  - manufacturers can get visibility through the Register (www.iiw-iis.org) of Certified Companies.
  
  It must be borne in mind that, although it has many advantages, certification is voluntary and does not, in itself, meet any statutory requirements.
