European foreword
This document (CEN/TR 16862:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 249 "Plastics",
the secretariat of which is held by NBN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent

Introduction
Welding is a special process that requires the coordination of activities related to quality, including
construction, testing and maintenance in order to ensure confidence in the reliability of welded structures and
their behaviour in service. This Technical Report defines the tasks and responsibilities, knowledge, skills, and
competence necessary to carry out the role of "plastic welding supervisor".
The use of this Technical Report helps an organization to provide evidence of sound management and may,
therefore, represent a technical credential for the achievement of the welded product’s performance
requirements.
1 Scope
This Technical Report identifies the quality related responsibilities and tasks included in the supervision of
activities related to the welding of products and semi-finished products made of thermoplastic materials and
provides guidelines to ensure the quality of the supervision.
The fundamental aspects of this Technical Report are the following:
— definition of tasks and responsibilities;
— definition of the required knowledge, skills and competence.
The plastic welding supervisor (PWS) should be employed by the organization involved in the welding
activities. This Technical Report applies to all thermoplastic welding processes.
