A PQR documents which of the following?

• A. A welding procedure qualification record documents the welding procedure results under specified variables such as material, thickness, and process.
• B. Parts list and procurement records.
• C. Employee training records.
• D. Tool calibration certificates.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that a PQR captures the results of qualifying a welding procedure for a specific set of conditions. It records how the welding procedure performed under defined variables—like material, thickness, and process—and shows the test results that prove the weld meets the required standards. This is exactly what is described: the procedure qualification results tied to those specified variables and the outcomes.

The other records aren’t the focus of a PQR. They relate to different parts of quality management—materials and procurement, employee training, and tool calibration—and do not document the results of welding procedure qualification.
