WELDER HEADS UP !

There have been some recent issues with welders’ continuity updates and corrupting the UA’s welder certification database.  To help alleviate the situation there has been a necessary change to the Continuity Submittal web page on UANet.org.

If the continuity date for a welder record is older than 120 days based on the current calendar date the system will not allow the continuity update.

Examples are: Current Calendar Date:  1/30/2026

• Continuity Date:  08/11/2026     172 Days, Update NOT ALLOWED
• Continuity Date:  09/11/2026     142 Days, Update NOT ALLOWED
• Continuity Date:  10/03/2026     119 Days, Update IS ALLOWED
• Continuity Date:  12/15/2026     46 Days, Update IS ALLOWED

All other rules as it relates to welder continuity submissions remain, i.e., even if the 120-day rule is met, the continuity date must be before the most recent expiration date for the given record (process type).
