Approved welders need to renew their approval every two years as the approval is linked to PE welding training.

Renew your approved PE welder approval

Download and complete the application form.

Send or email the application, including all required documentation as outlined on the application form to either:

  • Post: Approved PE Welder Application, Christchurch City Council, City Services Business Support Team, PO Box 73014, Christchurch 8154
  • Email: pe@ccc.govt.nz 

To renew an existing approval, approved welders need to provide evidence to Christchurch City Council that they have:

  • Kept up to date with industry best practice
  • Carried out welding in the last six months with conforming test results
  • Undertaken training and have a Council approved polyethylene welding certificate
  • A confined spaces training certificate that is not older than two years.

They also agree to be bound by the terms and conditions [PDF, 396 KB] set out for the scheme.

The renewal of the approval will be confirmed in writing only and is only awarded to the individual and not to commercial entities. It is not transferable and can be withdrawn by the City Council upon non-compliance with the rules as outlined in the Terms and Conditions.

Approval is given for a two year period which aligns with the PE welding training. Approved welders will need to renew their approval every two years.

Enquiries can be made by emailing Council on pe@ccc.govt.nz.
