BS EN ISO 9606-1:2017 BSI Standards Publication Qualification testing of welders — Fusion welding Part 1: SteelsBS EN 1S0 9606-1:2017 BRITISH STANDARD National foreword This British Standard is the UK implementation of EN ISO 9606-1:2017. It is identical to ISO 9606-1:2012, incorporating corrigendum September 2012. It supersedes BS EN ISO 9606-1:2013, which is withdrawn, Please note that 1S0 corrigendum 2:2013 only affects the French edition, and has therefore not been incorporated in this version. During the development of this standard a new option (option ¢) was introduced to clause 9.3 to revalidate a welder's qualification. Itis the opinion of the UK committee that options a) and b) are the preferred methods for the periodic verification of a welder’s ability/skill to reproduce and meet the acceptance levels of the original test conditions. Attention is drawn to clause 9.3 and which option/s may or may not be relevant or allowed in application standards or specific contract requirements. For the relationship with EU directives 2014/68/EU (PED) and 2014/29/EU (SPVD), see informative Annex ZA and ZB, respectively. ‘The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee WEE/36, Qualification of welding personnel and welding procedures, A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary. ‘This publication does not purport to include all the necessary pr ofa contract.

The work of preparing Internetional Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the 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 Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare Intemational Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Intemational Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. ‘Attention Is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

At the end of its period of validity, existing qualification tests of welders in accordance with the requirement of a national standard may be revalidated according to this International Standard. This is providing that the technical intent of this International Standard is satisfied. It is necessary for the new range of qualification to be interpreted in accordance with the requirements of this International Standard, 189.2012 ~ Aliights reserved Seortumne cece veetoet80.2012 - All rights reserved eran cnr, BS EN 1SO 9606-1:2017 INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 9606-1:2012(E) Qualification testing of welders — Fusion welding — Part 1: Steels 1 Scope This part of ISO 9806 specifies the requirements for qualification testing of welders for fusion welding of steels. it provides a set of technical rules for a systematic qualification test of the welder, and enables such qualifications to be uniformly accepted independently of the type of product, location and examiner or ‘examining body. ‘When qualifying welders, the emphasis is placed on the welder's ability manually to manipulate the electrode, ‘welding torch or welding blowpipe, thereby producing a weld of acceptable quality The welding processes referred to in this part of ISO 9606 include those fusion-welding processes which are designated as manual or partly mechanized welding. It does not cover fully mechanized and automated welding processes.
