EN 13479:2004 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies general delivery conditions for filler metals and fluxes for fusion welding of metallic materials. This document does not apply to auxiliaries such as shielding gases. This document is intended for application in a number of situations: – The manufacturer should use this document to establish the product's characteristics. – This document may be used for contractual purposes, as a reference document. – This document should also be used as a reference document for product conformity assessment. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 760, Welding consumables — Fluxes for submerged arc welding — Classification EN 10204, Metallic products — Types of inspection documents EN 12074, Welding consumables — Quality requirements for manufacture, supply and distribution of consumables for welding and allied processes EN 14532-1:2004, Welding consumables — Test methods and quality requirements — Part 1: Primary methods and conformity assessment of consumables for steel, nickel and nickel alloys EN 14532-2, Welding consumables — Test methods and quality requirements — Part 2: Supplementary methods and conformity assessment of consumables for steel, nickel and nickel alloys EN 14532-3:2004, Welding consumables — Test methods and quality requirements — Part 3: Conformity assessment of wire electrodes, wires and rods for welding of aluminium alloys EN ISO 544, Welding consumables — Technical delivery conditions for welding filler materials — Type of product, dimensions, tolerances and markings (ISO 544:2003) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 product specification manufacturer's document which specifies requirements for a welding consumable including, as applicable, chemical composition and mechanical properties of deposited metal, coating type, flux composition, range of welding parameters, and the designation according to the appropriate classification standard 3.2 manufacturer party who has legal responsibility for the finished quality of the product placed upon the market 3.3 deposited metal filler metal that has been added during welding



EN 13479:2004 (E) 6 4 Manufacturing process The manufacturing processes used are at the discretion and responsibility of the manufacturer. 5 Requirements 5.1 General Products claiming compliance with this document shall meet the requirements of this Clause. 5.2 Product specification The product specification shall include the following information, as a minimum: – manufacturer's brand name for the consumable; – dimension; – technical delivery conditions in accordance with EN ISO 544; – description of the covering, flux or filling material in terms of those major constituents which define the characteristics of the consumable (e.g. oxides, carbonates, fluorides and metals); – classification of the consumable according to the relevant standard; – information to the user on the intended use in accordance with the welding consumable classification standard. 5.3 Dimensions and shape Tolerances on dimensions and shape shall be in accordance with EN ISO 544. 5.4 Mechanical properties The mechanical properties shall be in accordance with the specific requirements in the relevant welding consumable classification standards (see Introduction). In cases where the requirements for the specific property are not defined in the classification standard, the relevant sub-clause in EN 14532-1, EN 14532-2 or EN 14532-3 shall be used. Tests on butt welds are not required by this document, except in the case of consumables classified for single or two run welding technique. 5.5 Chemical composition Chemical composition shall be in accordance with the appropriate welding consumable classification standard. 5.6 Durability Deposited metals are deemed durable when the consumables comply with the requirements of this standard. 5.7 Dangerous substances Deposited metals shall not release any dangerous substances in excess of the maximum permitted levels specified in a relevant European Standard for the material or permitted in the national regulations of the member state of destination.



EN 13479:2004 (E) 7 6 Testing, assessment and sampling methods 6.1 Dimensions and shape Measurement of diameter shall be carried out with a micrometer screw gauge with a range of 0 to 10 mm and of length if applicable with a ruler, or other suitable apparatus. Five measurements shall be made within the smallest packaging unit taken at random from a batch, heat or lot. The accuracy shall be at least 0,01 mm for diameter measurement and 1 mm for length measurement. 6.2 Mechanical properties The mechanical properties shall be verified according to the specific requirements in the relevant welding consumable classification standards.

Tests previously performed in accordance with the provisions of this document (same product, same characteristic(s), test method, sampling procedure, system of attestation of conformity, etc.) may be taken into account. In addition, initial type testing shall be performed at the beginning of the production or at the beginning of a new method of production (where this may affect the stated properties). All characteristics in Clause 5 shall be subject to initial type testing, with the exception of release of dangerous substances, which can be assessed indirectly by controlling the content of the substance concerned. 7.2.2 Initial type test program The initial type testing programme shall be carried out in accordance with EN ISO 544 and, as relevant, in accordance with the welding consumable classification standard, EN 14532-1, EN 14532-2 or EN 14532-3. 7.2.3 Documentation The results of the initial test programme shall be recorded and kept in a technical file for a period of at least 5 years after the date when the last product to which the test programme refers to was delivered.



EN 13479:2004 (E) 8 7.2.4 Sampling Chemical analysis shall be performed on samples of the product, the stock from which it is made or a deposited metal according to the relevant welding consumable classification standard. Samples shall be taken and tested in accordance with a prescribed plan. The report of the testing shall be an inspection document in accordance with EN 10204, minimum Type 2.2. 7.3 Factory production control (FPC) 7.3.1 General The manufacturer shall establish, document and maintain an FPC system to ensure that the products placed on the market conform to the stated performance characteristics. The FPC system shall consist of procedures, regular inspections and tests and/or assessments and the use of the results to control raw and other incoming materials, the production process and the product. An FPC system conforming to the requirements of EN ISO 9001 and made specific to the requirements of this document, shall be considered to satisfy the requirements of this document.
