Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO

member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technicalcommittees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established hasthe right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in

liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International ElectrotechnicalCommission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.

Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallicmaterials — Qualification based on tested welding consumables

1 Scope

This standard is a part of a series of standards, details of this series are given in EN ISO 15607, Annex A.

This standard gives the necessary information to explain the requirements referenced in EN ISO 15607 about the

qualification of welding procedures based on tested consumables.

In addition it gives the range of qualification.

This standard applies to arc and gas welding in accordance with table 1..

Key: X indicates the process for which EN ISO 15610 is applicable ;- indicates the process for which the standard is not applicable.

Other fusion welding processes may be accepted if specified.

This standard is limited to application to parent metals which produce acceptable micro structures and properties in

the heat affected zone which do not deteriorate significantly in service.

This standard is not applicable where requirements for hardness or impact properties, preheating, controlled heat

input, interpass temperature and post-weld heat-treatment are specified for the welded joint.

22.1

22.2

Joints between dissimilar material groups are not permitted, except for joints between group 22.1 and group 22.2.

6.2.2 Parent material thickness

This standard is applicable to thicknesses 3 ≤ t ≤ 40 mm.

6.2.3 Fillet weld throat thickness

This standard is applicable to a ≥ 3 mm.

6.2.4 Diameter of pipes

This standard is applicable to pipe diameter D > 25 mm.

6.3 Common to all welding processes

6.3.1 Multi-process

Multi-process procedures are permitted providing tested consumables are used throughout the weld.

6.3.2 Welding positions

The welding position is restricted to the positions identified in the manufacturer’s literature.

6.3.3 Welding consumables

The qualification is restricted to the manufacturer and trade name of the welding consumables selected.

6.3.4 Type of current

The type of current and polarity are limited to those identified in the manufacturer’s literature.

6.4 Specific to each welding process

6.4.1 Processes 131, 135, 136 and 137

The shielding gas (face and/or back) is limited to those identified in the manufacturer’s literature.

The qualification is restricted to the single-wire welding.

6.4.2 Process 141 and 15

The shielding gas (face and/or back) is limited to those identified in the manufacturer’s literature.

7 Validity

The welding procedure may be used as long as the welding conditions recommended by the consumablesmanufacturer are met.

8 Welding Procedure Qualification Record (WPQR)

The WPQR shall consist of copies of relevant manufacturer's literature supporting the welding conditions given inthe pWPS and an indication of the filler metal standard to which the filler metal was tested, if any. The relevant

items listed for the WPS in the relevant part of EN ISO 15609 shall be included. If the pWPS is consistent with themanufacturer's literature, the WPQR shall be signed and dated by the examiner or examining body.
