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
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 International Standards. 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.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 14731 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee
CEN/TC 121, Welding, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes,
Subcommittee SC 11, Qualification requirements for welding and allied processes personnel, in accordance
with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 14731:1997), which has been technically
revised.
Requests for official interpretations of any aspect of this International Standard should be directed to the
Secretariat of ISO/TC 44/SC 11 via your national standards body. A complete listing of these bodies can be
found at http://www.iso.org.

Introduction
Welding is a special process, which requires the coordination of welding operations in order to establish
confidence in welding fabrication and reliable performance in service. The tasks and responsibilities of
personnel involved in welding-related activities (e. g. planning, executing, supervising and inspection) should
be clearly defined.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 14731:2006(E)

Welding coordination — Tasks and responsibilities
1 Scope
This International Standard identifies the quality-related responsibilities and tasks included in the coordination
