EN ISO 15613:2004 (E)
Introduction
In EN ISO 15607, one of the methods of welding procedure qualification is based on pre-production welding test.
Qualification based on a pre-production welding test can be used where the shape and dimensions of the standard
test pieces (e.g. those of prEN ISO 15614) do not adequately represent the joint to be welded.
In such cases, one or more special test pieces can be made to simulate the production joint in all essential
features, e.g. dimensions, restraint, heat sink effects, limited access. In the case of resistance welding, actual
components have to be used for the pre-production test.

1 Scope
This European Standard is a part of a series of standards, details of this series are given in EN ISO 15607:2003,
annex A.
This standard specifies how a preliminary welding procedure specification is qualified based on pre-production
welding tests.
The principles of this standard may be applied to other welding processes.
This standard is applicable to arc welding, gas welding, beam welding, resistance welding, stud welding and friction
welding of metallic materials.
The use of this standard can be restricted by an application standard or specification.

normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
