Overview
EN 1011-2:2001/A1:2003 - published by CEN - is a European recommendation for the arc welding of ferritic steels. The standard provides guidance for manual, semi‑mechanised, mechanised and automatic arc welding of ferritic steels (excluding ferritic stainless steels) in all product forms. Amendment A1 (2003) updates EN 1011-2:2001 and includes editorial and structural changes (for example the deletion of Annex ZA); CEN members were required to adopt the amendment by mid‑2004.
Key Topics
The standard addresses practical welding guidance and quality considerations for ferritic steels. Major technical topics typically covered include:
- Welding processes and process selection (manual, semi‑mechanised, mechanised, automatic arc welding)
- Welding procedure guidance and factors affecting procedure development
- Joint preparation and fit‑up best practices for consistent weld quality
- Consumables and filler material considerations appropriate to ferritic steels
- Control of heat input, preheat and interpass conditions to manage metallurgical properties
- Measures to avoid weld defects (for example those associated with hydrogen, cracking and lack of fusion)
- Inspection and testing recommendations to verify weld integrity and workmanship
- Weldability considerations for different ferritic steel product forms
Note: the standard explicitly excludes ferritic stainless steels and focuses on ferritic carbon and low‑alloy steels as defined in the document.
Applications
EN 1011-2 is intended to be used where reliable arc‑welded ferritic steel fabrication is required across sectors such as:
- Structural steelwork and civil engineering components
- Pressure vessels and piping (where ferritic steels are applicable)
- Mechanical and industrial fabrication (frames, tanks, supports)
- Automated manufacturing lines using mechanised or automatic arc welding
The guidance helps organizations produce consistent welding procedures, reduce rework, control weld quality and support conformity with contractual or regulatory requirements.
Who uses this standard
- Welding engineers and procedure developers
- Fabricators and welding supervisors
- Welding inspectors and quality assurance personnel
- Design engineers specifying welding requirements
- National standards bodies and certification organizations
Related Standards
- Other parts of the EN 1011 series (general guidance on welding of metallic materials)
