These guidelines have been prepared to describewelding quality requirements suitable forapplication by manufacturers using welding as ameans of fabrication. They are structured such thatthey can be usedfor fabrication of virtually anytype of fusion welded construction. Theseguidelines relate only to those aspects of thequality of the final construction which may beinfluenced by welding and allied processes.
The guidelines define various approaches to qualityrequirements for welding fabrication, both in workshops and on sites and provide guidance fordescribing the capability of a manufacturer to beable to produce welded constructions of the specified quality. They can also be used by any interested party as a basis for assessing a manufacturer's welding quality arrangements.
The guidelines are intended as a guide for the preparation of regulatory or contractual requirements and for a manufacturer's management to define welding requirements for quality systems related to the type of welded construction. The guidelines are not structured to be used in isolation as part of any regulatory, contractual or managerial requirement.
These guidelines are intended to be used for the following purposes:
a) providing interpretation of the requirements in the EN 29000 series of standards, as a guideline for specification and establishment of the part of the ality system related to control of welding as a 'Special Process';
b) providing guidelines to establish specifications and welding quality requirements, where a quality system according to EN 29001 and EN 29002 is not involved;
c) assessment of the welding quality requirements mentioned in a) or b) above.
The application of this standard would typically occur in the following circumstances:
- in contractual situations: specification of welding requirements for quality systems;
- by manufacturers: establishment and maintenance of welding quality requirements;
- by committees preparing structural codes or other application standards: specification of welding
quality requirements;
- by interested parties, e.g. third parties, customers or the manufacturer's management: assessment of
welding quality requirements.
