Welding course Hygienic welding
Food safety and hygiene requirements are very high within food and pharma, as even one wrong weld can be a source of contamination for the agent to be produced. Because welder certifications did not match the specific requirements in hygienic situations, HDN, in collaboration with NIL, developed a unified procedure that allows the welder to exclude (unnecessary) contamination.
To obtain the Hygienic Welder certificate, the welder should have a solid level of experience. There are two training options.

Exams
The welding courses are concluded with a theory and practical exam. These exams are conducted by an independent examiner from the Dutch Institute for Welding Technology (NIL). If you pass, you will receive an NIL diploma. This diploma will always be valid.
