Overview

EN 1011-1:2009 - Welding - Recommendations for welding of metallic materials - Part 1: General guidance for arc welding (CEN) provides general guidance for the arc welding of metallic materials in all product forms (cast, wrought, extruded, forged). It sets out principles and production controls for arc welding applicable across fabrication environments and complements material-specific Parts 2–8 of EN 1011. This standard is intended for manufacturers, welding coordinators and quality personnel involved in welding production and inspection.

Key topics and requirements

The standard covers practical, process-oriented guidance rather than prescriptive design stress or acceptance criteria. Major subjects include:

  • Principles and planning
    • Fundamental information for fabrication, non-conformance management and corrective actions
    • Requirements for documentation and information exchange between customer and manufacturer
  • Welding production controls
    • Equipment and calibration - selection of welding equipment, measurement and monitoring of parameters (voltage, current, wire feed, travel speed, gas flow) and calibration/validation per EN ISO 17662
    • Workplace conditions - protection from weather and environment to avoid weld defects
    • Personnel - qualifications and responsibilities for welders, welding operators and welding coordinators (references to EN 287-1 / EN ISO 9606 series, EN 1418, EN 473)
  • Processes and materials
    • Guidance for common arc welding processes (EN ISO 4063 codes), including MMA, TIG, MIG/MAG, submerged arc, plasma and cored-wire methods
    • Handling, storage and traceability of parent metals and consumables; material certificates
  • Fabrication and quality
    • Joint preparation, run-on/run-off practices, tack welds, preheating and interpass control, heat input, protection against oxidation, weld imperfections and traceability
    • Post-weld heat treatment, distortion control and surface cleaning
    • Inspection, documentation and record-keeping requirements

Practical applications - who uses it

EN 1011-1:2009 is used by:

  • Welding engineers and coordinators preparing welding procedure specifications (WPS)
  • Fabrication shops and manufacturers executing arc welding for structural, pressure equipment, machinery and general fabrication
  • Quality managers and NDE/inspection teams establishing inspection regimes and traceability
  • Procurement and project managers defining welding requirements in contracts and production drawings

This guidance helps ensure consistent welding practice, equipment selection, personnel qualification and documentation for reliable arc-welded products.

Related standards

  • EN 1011 Parts 2–8 (material-specific guidance)
  • EN ISO 15609-1 (WPS - arc welding)
  • EN ISO 17662 (calibration/verification of welding equipment)
  • EN 287-1 / EN ISO 9606 series (welder qualification)
  • EN 1418, EN 473 (operator and NDT qualifications)
  • EN ISO 4063 (welding process nomenclature)
