Quaificattons in accordance with EN 287-1 existing at the date of publication of this atandard should, at the end of ‘helt period of validity, be interpreted in accordance with the requirements ofthis standard. -imo EN 287-1:2004 (E) 1. Scope ‘This European Standard defines the qualification test of welders forthe fusion welding of staeis. Itprovides a sot of technical rules for a systematic qualification test of the welder, and enables such qualifications tobe uniformly accepted independently of the type of product, location ad examinerfexamining body. When qualifying welders, the emphasis is placed on the welders abiliy to manually manipulate the electode/ welding torch/ welding blowpipe and theraby producing a weld of accapiable quality, “The welding processes referred to in this European Standard include those fusion welding processes which are designated as manual or partly mechanized welding. It does not covet fully mechanized and automated welding processes (see EN 1448). 2 Normative references ‘This European: Standard Incorporates by dated or undated reference] previsions from other publications, These ommative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter.

For each essential variable a range of quaification is defined. All test pieces shall be welded using the essential variables independently, except for 5.7 end 5.8. If the ‘walder hae to weld outalde the range of qualification a new quaiffication test is required. The essential variables, are: — welding process, product type (plate and pipe), type of weld (butt and fit), — material group, wolding consumatio, ; ‘dimension (material thickness and outside pipe diemeter), welding position, rightward welding). 8.2 Welding processes Welding processes are defined in ISO 857-1 and listed in 4.2, weld detail (backing, single elde welding, boty side welding, single tayer, multi layer, laftward welding, Each qualification test normally qualifies only one welding process. A change of welding process requires a new ‘qualification test, Exceptions are the changes of solid wire S (welding process 136} or vio verea which do not require a new qualification test ‘welder to be qualified for two cr more weldiig processes by welding & jrocese 136) to metal core wire M (welding (ove Table 3). However, itis permitted for a ingle test plece (mult! process joint) or by two oF more separate quailfication tests.
