WHAT IS THE PSQ (PRODUCT SAFETY AND QUALITY) COMMITTEE?
Following the announcement by Adrian Hawkins, AWD chairman at the 2011 AWD conference in April 2011, a PSQ Commiee has now been formed with an agreed format for its role and acvies. The PSQ Commiee will look into product safety and quality concerns that the market wishes to raise with the commiee
THIS REMIT FALLS INTO TWO AREAS:
Product safety and quality maers With any product concern brought to the aenon of the PSQ commiee, it isn’t our intenon to regulate the welding product market but to invesgate and understand the issues and if the commiee believes it is jusfied, they will alert the manufacture/supplier and furthermore negoate a way forward for the benefit of all. Should this fail, we will alert the AWD membership and look at other ways to isolate non compliant and unsafe products in the UK market.
Buyer’s Guides
The commiee also intends to develop a series of booklets on welding associated products, enabling customers to understand current standards and legislaon applied to machines, gas equipment, consumables and personal protecon equipment. It is hoped these will provide some essenal knowledge when selecng and purchasing industrial products.
If you have a comment or concern about any welding related product to make to this commiee, contact in the first instance should be through:
psq@awd.org.uk
