Introduction
All new welding procedure tests are to be carried out in accordance with this document from the date of this
issue.
However, this document does not invalidate previous welding procedure tests made to former standards or
specifications or previous issues of this document.
Where additional tests have to be carried out to make the qualification technically equivalent, it is only
necessary to do the additional tests on a test piece which should be made in accordance with this document.
Requests for official interpretations of any aspect of this document should be directed to the Secretariat of
ISO/TC 44/SC 10 via your national standards body, a complete listing which can be found at www.iso.org.

1 Scope
This document specifies how a preliminary welding procedure specification is qualified by welding procedure
tests.
This document is part of a series of standards, details of this series are given in EN ISO 15607:2003, Annex A.
This document defines the conditions for the execution of welding procedure tests and the range of
qualification for welding procedures for all practical welding operations within the range of variables listed in
Clause 8.
This document applies to the arc welding of wrought and cast aluminium and its alloys. In this document the
term aluminium stands for aluminium and for aluminium alloys.
This document does not apply to finishing welding of aluminium castings which is dealt by prEN ISO 15614-4.
Arc welding of aluminium is covered by the following welding processes in accordance with EN ISO 4063:
 131 : metal inert gas welding (MlG welding);
 141 : tungsten inert gas welding (TlG welding);
 15 : plasma arc welding.
NOTE Specific service, material or manufacturing conditions may require more comprehensive testing than is
specified by this document (see 7.1).
The principles of this document may be applied to other fusion welding processes.
