SIST EN ISO 15611:2024 Overview
SIST EN ISO 15611:2024, titled Specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials - Qualification based on previous welding experience, is an essential European standard developed by CEN in alignment with ISO technical committees. This standard provides comprehensive guidance for welding procedure qualification leveraging documented prior welding experience, offering a structured route to validate welding processes without repeating extensive mechanical testing.
This standard supersedes EN ISO 15611:2003 and was officially approved in January 2024. It plays a crucial role in welding quality management, contributing to consistent, reliable fabrication of metallic structures by aligning with ISO 15607 general rules.
Key Topics
Qualification Based on Previous Welding Experience
The core focus is on enabling manufacturers and fabricators to qualify welding procedures by referencing previously documented and tested welding activities that have demonstrated satisfactory service performance or manufacturing history.Preliminary Welding Procedure Specifications (pWPS)
According to SIST EN ISO 15611:2024, a pWPS must be created per standards such as ISO 14555, relevant ISO 15609 series parts, ISO 15620, ISO 18785-4, or ISO 25239-4. The pWPS outlines the applicable parameters and range for qualification based on previous experience.Documentation and Records
The qualification requires documented evidence of past welding experience, including weld test results (destructive, non-destructive, leak, or pressure tests) and manufacturing summaries or records of welds in service, typically covering a minimum period of one to five years.Range of Qualification
The qualified range of welding parameters is defined per corresponding welding process standards, such as:- ISO 15614 series for fusion welding
- ISO 14555 for arc stud welding
- ISO 15620 for friction welding
- ISO 25239-4 for friction stir welding of aluminum
- ISO 18785-4 for friction stir spot welding of aluminum
Welding Procedure Qualification Record (WPQR)
The WPQR consolidates all documentation and evidence linked to prior welding experience, including relevant parameter details from the pWPS. It must be signed and dated by an authorized examiner or body.
Applications
SIST EN ISO 15611:2024 is widely applicable across industries involving metallic fabrication and welded structures, particularly where:
- Previous welding experience exists and is traceable, allowing efficient procedure qualification.
- Manufacturers seek to optimize qualification costs and reduce delays by leveraging validated prior manufacturing or service performance data.
- Compliance with quality management systems and international regulatory frameworks for welding is required.
- Welding procedure standards intersect with specifications restricting or defining application scope.
- Industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, energy, and heavy machinery benefit from validated welding processes ensuring safety and reliability.
By adopting this standard, organizations can ensure robust welding procedure validation that supports product quality, reduces retesting needs, and improves traceability.
Related Standards
SIST EN ISO 15611:2024 is part of a comprehensive series for welding procedure specification and qualification, interoperating with:
- ISO 15607 - General rules for the specification and qualification of welding procedures.
- ISO 15609 series - Detailed specifications for welding procedures across different metallic materials.
- ISO 14555 - Arc stud welding of metallic materials.
- ISO 15614 series - Welding procedure test methods for fusion welding.
- ISO 15620 - Specification and qualification of friction welding procedures.
- ISO 18785-4 - Friction stir spot welding of aluminium.
- ISO 25239-4 - Friction stir welding of aluminium.
Utilizing these complementary standards ensures comprehensive and harmonized welding quality management aligned with international best practices.
