For the weld test to be valid it must be taken at which facility?

• A. LADBS approved testing agency
• B. An accredited university lab
• C. The welding shop on site
• D. Any licensed testing facility

Answer: (A)

Weld tests for LA City certification must be conducted at an LADBS approved testing agency. This ensures the testing environment, procedures, and inspectors meet the city’s standards and that the results are officially recognized for licensure. Facilities outside this approval may lack the required oversight or standardized equipment, so their results aren’t valid for city certification. While other labs or on-site shops can be well-equipped, only those approved by LADBS are guaranteed to count toward the certification.
