EN ISO 15618-1:2016

Qualification testing of welders for underwater welding - Part 1: Hyperbaric wet welding (ISO 15618-1:2016)

ISO 15618-1:2016 specifies essential requirements, ranges of qualification, test conditions, acceptance requirements and certification for the qualification testing of welder-diver performance.
ISO 15618-1:2016 is applicable for hyperbaric wet welding on steel.
The recommended format for the certificate of qualification testing is given in Annex A.
During the qualification test, the welder-diver may be required to show adequate job knowledge of the welding processes, materials and safety requirements for which he is to be qualified. Information on these aspects is given in Annex B.
The welding processes referred to in this part of ISO 15618 include those fusion welding processes which are designated as manual or partly mechanised welding. It does not cover fully mechanised and fully automatic processes (see 5.2).
This part of ISO 15618 applies to all new qualifications from the date of issue.
However, ISO 15618-1:2016 does not invalidate previous welder-diver qualifications made to former national standards or specifications, providing the intent of the technical requirements is satisfied and the previous qualifications are relevant to the application and production work on which they are employed.
The certificate of qualification testing is issued under the sole responsibility of the examiner or examining body.

Prüfung von Schweißern für Unterwasserschweißen - Teil 1: Nassschweißen unter Überdruck (ISO 15618-1:2016)

Dieser Teil der ISO 15618 legt die wesentlichen Anforderungen, Geltungsbereiche, Prüfbedingungen, Bewer¬tungsanforderungen und die Bescheinigung für die Schweißerprüfung des Unterwasserschweißers fest.
Dieser Teil der ISO 15618 gilt für das Schweißen von Stahl in einer nassen Überdruckumgebung.
In Anhang A ist der empfohlene Vordruck für die Prüfungsbescheinigung wiedergegeben.
Bei der Schweißerprüfung des Unterwasserschweißers darf gefordert werden, dass er angemessene Fach-kunde hinsichtlich der Schweißprozesse, Werkstoffe und Sicherheitsanforderungen nachweist, für die er qualifiziert werden soll. Hinweise dazu sind in Anhang B enthalten.
Die in diesem Teil der ISO 15618 genannten Schweißprozesse umfassen die Schmelzschweißprozesse, die von Hand oder teilmechanisch ausgeführt werden. Vollmechanische und vollautoma¬tische Prozesse werden in dieser Norm nicht berücksichtigt (siehe 5.2).
Dieser Teil der ISO 15618 gilt für alle neuen Prüfungen vom Tag der Veröffentlichung dieser Norm an.
Dieser Teil der ISO 15618 setzt jedoch bestehende Prüfungsbescheinigungen von Unterwasserschweißern, die nach früheren nationalen Normen oder Regelwerken abgelegt worden sind, nicht außer Kraft, voraus-gesetzt, die technischen Anforderungen sind erfüllt und die früheren Prüfungen entsprechender Anwendung und der Fertigung, in der sie eingesetzt werden.
Die Schweißerprüfungsbescheinigung wird unter der alleinigen Verantwortung des Prüfers oder der Prüf-stelle ausgestellt.

Épreuve de qualification des soudeurs pour le soudage sous l'eau - Partie 1: Soudage hyperbare en pleine eau (ISO 15618-1:2016)

ISO 15618-1:2016 spécifie les principales exigences à respecter, les domaines de qualification, les conditions d'essais, les exigences d'acceptation et la certification de l'épreuve de qualification des scaphandriers soudeurs.
ISO 15618-1:2016 s'applique au soudage des aciers en environnement hyperbare en pleine eau.
Le modèle recommandé pour le certificat d'épreuve de qualification est donné à l'Annexe A.
Pendant l'épreuve de qualification, il peut être demandé au scaphandrier soudeur de faire preuve de sa compétence technologique portant sur les procédés de soudage, les matériaux et les exigences de sécurité applicables à la qualification en cours. Des informations sur ces points sont fournies à l'Annexe B.
Les procédés de soudage concernés par la présente partie de l'ISO 15618 sont les procédés de soudage par fusion, manuels ou semi-automatiques. La présente norme ne s'applique pas aux procédés totalement mécanisés ou automatiques (voir 5.2).
ISO 15618-1:2016 s'applique à toutes les nouvelles qualifications dès sa date de parution.
ISO 15618-1:2016 ne rend toutefois pas caduques les qualifications de scaphandriers soudeurs délivrées au titre d'anciennes normes ou spécifications nationales dans la mesure où l'esprit de ses exigences techniques est respecté et que lesdites qualifications sont pertinentes pour les applications et les fabrications pour lesquelles elles sont employées.
La délivrance du certificat de qualification relève de la seule responsabilité de l'examinateur ou de l'organisme d'examen.

Preskušanje varilcev za podvodno varjenje - 1. del: Podvodni varilci za mokro varjenje v vodi pri povečanem tlaku (ISO 15618-1:2016)

Ta standard se uporablja za postopke varjenja, pri katerih ima spretnost podvodnega varilca večji vpliv na kakovost varjenja.
Ta standard določa bistvene zahteve, obsege odobritev, preskusne pogoje, zahteve za sprejem in certificiranje za preskušanje podvodnih varilcev za varjenje jekel pod vodo pri povečanem tlaku. Priporočena oblika certifikata za odobritveno preskušanje je podana v dodatku A. Med preskušanjem mora podvodni varilec prikazati ustrezne praktične izkušnje in poznavanje (preskus ni obvezen) postopkov varjenja, materialov in varnostnih zahtev, za katere bo odobren; informacije o teh vidikih so podane v dodatku B.
Ta standard se uporablja, ko kupec, nadzorni organi ali druge organizacije zahtevajo preskušanje podvodnega varilca.
Postopki varjenja, ki so navedeni v tem standardu, vključujejo postopke talilnega varjenja, ki so zasnovani za ročno ali delno mehanizirano varjenje. Popolnoma mehaniziranih in popolnoma avtomatiziranih postopkov varjenja ne obravnava v celoti (glej 5.2).
Vse nove odobritve morajo biti v skladu s tem standardom od datuma njegove objave.
Vendar ta standard ne izniči prejšnjih odobritev podvodnih varilcev, prejetih na podlagi dosedanjih nacionalnih standardov ali specifikacij, če so upoštevane tehnične zahteve in so prejšnje odobritve pomembne za uporabo in proizvodnjo.
Kjer so potrebni dodatni preskusi za tehnično enakovredno odobritev, je treba izvesti samo dodatne preskuse na preskusnem kosu, ki morajo biti izvedeni v skladu s tem standardom.
