Qualification test of welders - Fusion welding - Part 1: Steels
This European Standard defines the qualification test of welders for the 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/examining body.
When qualifying welders, the emphasis is placed on the welders ability to manually manipulate the electrode/ welding torch/ welding blowpipe and thereby producing a weld of acceptable quality.
The welding processes referred to in this European Standard include those fusion welding processes which are designated as manual or partly mechanized welding. It does not cover fully mechanized and automated welding processes (see EN 1418).
Prüfung von Schweißern - Schmelzschweißen - Teil 1: Stähle
Diese Europäische Norm definiert die Schweißerprüfung für das Schmelzschweißen von Stählen.
Sie stellt eine Reihe technischer Regeln für systematische Prüfungen von Schweißern auf und ermöglicht so, dass solche Qualifizierungen unabhängig von der Art des Erzeugnisses, des Ortes und des Prüfers/der Prüfstelle einheitlich akzeptiert werden.
Wenn Schweißer qualifiziert werden, liegt der Schwerpunkt auf der Fähigkeit des Schweißers, den Elektroden-halter/die Schweißpistole/den Schweißbrenner so zu handhaben, dass damit eine Schweißung von zulässiger Qualität erzeugt wird.
Die Schweißprozesse nach dieser Norm schließen nur solche Schweißprozesse ein, die als Handschweißen oder teilmechanisches Schweißen bezeichnet werden. Sie schließen nicht die vollmechanischen und automatischen Schweißprozesse ein (siehe EN 1418).
Epreuve de qualification des soudeurs - Soudage par fusion - Partie 1 : Aciers
La présente Norme européenne définit l'épreuve de qualification des soudeurs pour le soudage par fusion des aciers.
Elle fournit un ensemble de règles techniques pour l'épreuve de qualification systématique des soudeurs, et permet à de telles qualifications d'être acceptées uniformément, indépendamment du type de produit, du lieu et de l'examinateur ou de l'organisme d'examen.
Lors de la qualification des soudeurs, l'accent est porté sur l'aptitude du soudeur à guider manuellement l'électrode, la torche ou le chalumeau de soudage pour produire une soudure de qualité acceptable.
Les procédés de soudage concernés par la présente Norme européenne sont les procédés de soudage par fusion désignés en tant que, manuels ou semi-automatiques. Elle ne traite pas des procédés de soudage totalement mécanisés et automatisés (voir l'EN 1418).

The following criteria are applicable:a) welds in pipes, outside pipe diameter D > 25 mm, cover welds in plates;b) welds in plates cover welds in pipe:¾ of outside pipe diameter D ³ 150 mm, for welding positions PA, PB and PC;¾ of outside pipe diameter D ³ 500 mm, for all welding positions.5.4 Type of weldThe qualification test shall be carried out as butt or fillet weld. The following criteria are applicable:a) butt welds cover butt welds in any type of joint except branch connections (see also 5.4 c));b) in cases where the majority of work is fillet welding, the welder shall also be qualified by an appropriate filletwelding test; in cases where the majority of work is butt welding, butt welds qualify fillet welds;c) butt welds in pipes without backing qualify branch connections with an angle ³ 60° and the same range ofqualification as in Tables 1 to 8. For a branch weld the range of qualification is based on the outside pipediameter of the branch;d) for applications where the type of weld cannot be qualified by means of either a butt or fillet weld test then aspecific test piece should be used to qualify the welder, e.g. branch connection.
