National foreword

This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Welding
Standards Policy Committee and is the English language version of
EN 24063:1992 Welding, brazing, soldering and braze welding of
metals — Nomenclature of processes and reference numbers for symbolic
representation on drawings, published by the European Committee for
Standardization (CEN). It supersedes Table 10 of BS 499-2:1980 which is deleted
by amendment. EN 24063:1992 is identical with ISO 4063:1990 published by the
Licensed Copy: :FULLNAME, : DATE, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI

International Organization for Standardization (ISO). EN 24063:1992 was

produced as a result of international discussion in which the UK took an active
part.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.

Summary of pages
This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii,
the EN title page, pages 2 to 12, an inside back cover and a back cover.
This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had
amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on
the inside front cover.

This European Standard was approved by CEN on 1992-07-03. CEN members

are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which
stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a
national standard without any alteration.
Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national
standards may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any
CEN member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French,
German). A version in any other language made by translation under the
responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the
Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy,
Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and
United Kingdom.

Introduction
The numbering and grouping established in the first
edition of ISO 4063:1978 was strictly followed as a
basis in compiling this International Standard and
not other ordinal features, e.g. fusion welding
processes, pressure welding processes.
Licensed Copy: :FULLNAME, : DATE, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI

The intention to combine ISO 857 and ISO 4063 in

one single International Standard could not be
realized because
— ISO 857 defines only a selection of processes
given in ISO 4063;
— references to ISO 857 and ISO 4063 have
already been made in several other standards,
and confusion would therefore arise from their
combination;
— the adoption of these International Standards
in regulations will be easier if ISO 857 and
ISO 4063 exist separately.
