Qualification testing of welders - Fusion welding - Part 1: Steels (ISO 9606-1:2012 including Cor 1:2012 and Cor 2:2013)

ISO 9606-1:2012 specifies the requirements for qualification testing of welders for fusion welding of steels.
It provides a set of technical rules for a systematic qualification test of the welder, and enables such qualifications to be uniformly accepted independently of the type of product, location and examiner or examining body.
When qualifying welders, the emphasis is placed on the welder's ability manually to manipulate the electrode, welding torch or welding blowpipe, thereby producing a weld of acceptable quality.
The welding processes referred to in ISO 9606-1:2012 include those fusion-welding processes which are designated as manual or partly mechanized welding. It does not cover fully mechanized and automated welding processes.

Épreuve de qualification des soudeurs - Soudage par fusion - Partie 1 : Aciers (ISO 9606-1:2012, y compris Cor 1:2012 et Cor 2:2013)

L'ISO 9606-1:2012 définit les exigences relatives à l'épreuve de qualification des soudeurs pour le soudage par fusion des aciers.
Elle fournit un ensemble de règles techniques pour l'épreuve de qualification systématique des soudeurs et permet à de telles qualifications d'être acceptées uniformément, indépendamment du type de produit, du lieu et de l'examinateur ou de l'organisme d'examen.
Lors de la qualification des soudeurs, l'accent est porté sur l'aptitude du soudeur à guider manuellement l'électrode, la torche ou le chalumeau de soudage afin de produire une soudure de qualité acceptable.
Les procédés de soudage concernés par l'ISO 9606-1:2012 sont les procédés de soudage par fusion désignés comme manuels ou semi-automatiques. L'ISO 9606-1:2012 n'est pas applicable aux procédés de soudage totalement mécanisés et automatisés.

Preskušanje usposobljenosti varilcev - Talilno varjenje - 1. del: Jekla (ISO 9606-1:2012, vključuje popravka Cor 1:2012 in Cor 2:2013)

V primerjavi s SIST EN ISO 9606-1:2013 sta dodana le Annexa ZA (povezava z direktivo 2014/68/EU (PED)) in ZB (povezava z direktivo 2014/29/EU (SPVD)).
Standard ISO 9606-1:2012 določa zahteve za preskušanje usposobljenosti varilcev pri talilnem varjenju jekel.
Podaja niz tehničnih pravil za sistematično preskušanje usposobljenosti varilcev in omogoča, da so taka usposabljanja povsod priznana, ne glede na vrsto proizvoda, lokacijo in preizkuševalca oziroma komisijo.
Pri usposabljanju varilcev je poudarjena sposobnost varilca za ročno upravljanje elektrode, plamena ali gorilnika za varjenje, da proizvede zvar sprejemljive kakovosti.
Postopki varjenja, navedeni v standardu ISO 9606-1:2012, vključujejo postopke talilnega varjenja, ki se uporabljajo za ročno ali delno mehanizirano varjenje. Popolnoma mehaniziranih in avtomatiziranih postopkov varjenja ne obravnava v celoti.
