These certifications are per the ASME code and maintained by AWS National Program

Testing information available for the following certifications:

Your certification remains valid as long as you submit your certification maintenance
forms every six months as required by the Code of Acceptance that governed your test.
As long as you can verify (have your employer sign the form) that you are still performing
the same welding as you originally tested for, your certification remains in effect.
But remember, you must send in your certification maintenance form.
