Standards—overview
Standards—overview – interactive engineering module focused on welding standards. Learning format: Standards guide · Active learning. Explains the principle, technical relationships and practical use.
Topic overview
Standards are not a list to memorise. For an IWE, it is essential to know which standard covers the quality system , which covers welding procedure qualification , which covers welder qualification , which covers weld imperfections and which covers testing and examination . This module is designed as a practical map from customer requirements through to release of the welded product. Standards are identified by their European designation— EN ISO or EN —where applicable.
Scope: Establishes quality requirements for welding processes in both workshop and site fabrication.
Intended users: Manufacturers and suppliers of welded products for automotive, machinery, pressure equipment and structural steelwork.
Scope: Tasks and responsibilities of welding coordination personnel.
