Questions, answered straight
Soteriaa FAQ.
Straight answers about welding compliance software, welder qualification management, continuity alerts, templates, imports, WPS, WPQR, and where the current product stops.
What does Soteriaa actually do?
Soteriaa is welding qualification tracking software. It holds welders, ISO 9606 qualification records, continuity confirmations, WPS, WPQR, templates, and imported document data in one register so teams can see what is current, due soon, and overdue.
Does Soteriaa certify welders?
No. Soteriaa is not a certification body and does not certify welders or qualify procedures. Qualification testing and certification remain with your examining body.
Does it replace signed certificates?
No. Original signed certification documents remain your records of record. Soteriaa helps structure, track, preview, and generate internal outputs from the data you hold.
Which standards is it built around?
The workflow is built around ISO 9606 for welder qualifications, EN 1090 and ISO 3834 for fabrication quality records, and ISO 15609 / ISO 15614 for WPS and WPQR.
Are email alerts live?
Today, alerts are in-app: the dashboard and alerts view reflect the live state of each due date. Scheduled email reminders are still a roadmap item, so we do not claim them as shipped.
Can I import existing PDFs?
Yes. Upload completed qualification PDFs and Soteriaa proposes structured draft records for review. Upload reusable template PDFs and Soteriaa detects likely form fields and suggested mappings for review.
Can I keep using my own forms?
Yes. Build templates inside Soteriaa or upload existing PDF forms. For uploaded templates, Soteriaa detects likely fields and shows resolved values, but final PDF writing is still a known limitation.
Does it guarantee compliance?
No tool can guarantee compliance. Soteriaa helps teams stay organised, see what needs attention, and prepare cleaner audit records. Responsibility still sits with the business and its welding coordinator.
