2021 Bi-Annual Nova Scotia Testing
Updated Jan 8th- 2021
Welder testing will take place in Truro Nova Scotia only this year. Due to COVID-19 we are unable to test in Sydney.
In Nova Scotia we test to ensure welders have a F6-F4 ticket so that everyone is available in an emergency situation.
If required any other weld test will be provided by the contractor as per Article 8 of the CBA.
Remaining Dates and time Available below:
Jan 26th @ 8 AM
Jan 29th @ 1 PM
48 welders have already been scheduled. Please in sure welders reporting to test have a face covering and if displaying symptoms of COVID- 19 please call and cancel. Please no more show up 15 mins prior to test time. Thank you all for your co-operation.

The Pressure Welder Mobility Program
The Pressure Welder Mobility Program is a new way to test it will allow welders to test once and never have to test again as long as they maintain the continuity as per the ASME regulations. This program is optional but is recommended. The cost is $50 per year for welders (cost to be reimburse to members from the training fund). You will not receive a welding ticket but you will be enrolled in ACI Central. Contractors will then be able to access your information. If tested in F3/F4, F6/F4 or F5/F6 to this standard you will have mobility throughout Atlantic Canada, Nunavut & the North West Territories.
How to keep Continuity:
If working on a job and you weld in the certification you have tested the contractor will be responsible to maintain you continuity in ACI Central.
If you haven't worked you can come to a Recognized Training Center withing the continuity period and do a Practice test that meets criteria. (It will not be X-rayed)
Welder must have their own e-mail address to register. It can only be paid with Credit Card.
For reimbursement please forward receipts to mleblanc@boilermaker.ca
