Overview

EN 13479:2017 - published by CEN - is the European general product standard for welding consumables (filler metals and fluxes) used for fusion welding of metallic structures and composite metal‑to‑concrete construction works. It defines product characteristics, chemical composition requirements and the related testing, assessment and sampling methods. The standard excludes shielding gases and ceramic backings (as defined in ISO/TR 25901‑1) and supports conformity processes related to EU Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 (see Annex ZA).

Key topics

  • Scope and definitions: Applies to filler materials (welding consumables) and fluxes for fusion welding in construction; terms referenced from ISO/TR 25901‑1:2016.
  • Product characteristics: Chemical composition requirements are specified by reference to relevant EN/ISO classification standards for different consumable types (examples: EN ISO 1071, EN ISO 2560, EN ISO 14341, EN ISO 14171, EN ISO 14174, EN ISO 18273).
  • Testing & sampling methods: Chemical analysis methods and sampling rules are specified - analyses are carried out on product samples, stock or all‑weld‑metal test specimens using the test methods referenced via CEN/TR 10261.
  • Assessment and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP): Includes provisions for type testing, use of prior assessment data, product families, and rules for when re‑testing is required (e.g., design/raw material/production changes).
  • Factory Production Control (FPC): Manufacturer responsibilities, initial inspection, continuous surveillance, and procedures for modifications are defined to ensure ongoing conformity.
  • Marking, labelling and packaging: Requirements for product and package marking (covered electrodes, solid wires/rods/strips, tubular cored wires, fluxes) and packaging practices to ensure traceability and safe handling.

Applications

  • Specification and quality control of welding consumables for construction: structural steel, stainless steels, cast iron, high‑strength steels, aluminium and creep‑resisting steels.
  • Used by: manufacturers of filler metals and fluxes, welding engineers, quality managers, testing laboratories, conformity assessment bodies, procurement/specification teams in construction and fabrication, and standards committees.
  • Practical use cases: product development, CE/DoP documentation support, supplier qualification, procurement specifications, and factory audits.

Related standards

EN 13479 references many classification standards for specific consumables, for example:

  • EN ISO 1071, EN ISO 2560, EN ISO 14341, EN ISO 14171, EN ISO 14174, EN ISO 18273, EN ISO 17632, EN ISO 17633, EN ISO 18276, EN ISO 16834, EN 12536 and CEN/TR 10261. It also uses terminology from ISO/TR 25901‑1:2016.
