EN 50504:2008

Validation of arc welding equipment

This European Standard specifies validation methods for arc welding equipment constructed and used to the accuracy specified in EN 60974-1 or other equivalent standards. The accuracy of this equipment is designated as standard grade. This European Standard is applicable to a) arc welding power sources, b) wire feeders, c) welding instrumentation. This European Standard is not applicable to arc striking and stabilizing device. Calibration, verification and validation of equipment for other welding processes and ancillary equipment which may affect the quality of the weld, e.g. flow gauges, thermocouples, robots and manipulators are given in EN ISO 17662.

Validierung von Lichtbogenschweißeinrichtungen

Diese Europäische Norm legt Validierungsverfahren für Lichtbogenschweißeinrichtungen fest, die mit der in EN 60974-1 oder anderen entsprechenden Normen festgelegten Genauigkeit gebaut und verwendet werden. Die Genauigkeit dieser Einrichtungen wird als Standardklasse bezeichnet. Diese Europäische Norm gilt für: a) Lichtbogen-Schweißstromquellen; b) Drahtvorschubgeräte; c) Schweißgeräte. Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Lichtbogenzünd- und stabilisierungseinrichtungen. Kalibrieren, Überprüfen und Validieren von Einrichtungen für andere Schweißprozesse und Hilfseinrichtungen können die Qualität der Schweißnaht beeinträchtigen, z.B. werden Durchflussmessgeräte, Thermoelemente, Roboter und Manipulatoren in EN ISO 17662 angegeben.

Validation du matériel de soudage à l'arc

La présente Norme Européenne spécifie les méthodes de validation pour le matériel de soudage à l'arc construit et utilisé d'après la précision spécifiée dans la EN 60974-1 ou d'autres normes équivalentes. La précision de ce matériel est désignée comme classe standard. La présente Norme Européenne s'applique a) aux sources de courant de soudage à l'arc, b) aux dévidoirs, c) à l'instrumentation de soudage. La présente Norme Européenne ne s'applique pas au dispositif d'amorçage et de stabilisation de l'arc. L’étalonnage, la vérification et la validation du matériel pour les autres procédés de soudage et l'équipement auxiliaire qui peuvent affecter la qualité de la soudure, par exemple des jauges, des thermocouples, des robots et manipulateurs sont indiquées dans la EN ISO 17662.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2008-06-01. CENELEC members are bound to comply
with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified
to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Foreword
This European Standard has been prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 26A,
Electric arc welding equipment.
The text of the draft was submitted to the formal vote and was approved by CENELEC as
EN 50504 on 2008-06-01.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2009-06-01

– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2011-06-01

This European Standard has been developed under the authority of CLC/TC 26A, Electric arc
welding equipment. Welding is considered to be a special process because the final result
may not always be capable of being verified by testing, hence it requires continuous control
and/or adherence to documented procedures.
This European Standard has been developed to identify the controls and procedures required.
It requires the use of calibrated welding equipment, then the quality/consistency of the weld
depends upon accurate and repeatable setting of parameters such as current, voltage, speed,
gas flow, etc.
This European Standard concentrates on validating equipment built to the constructional
standard EN 60974-1. The accuracy of this equipment is designated as standard grade.
A higher level of accuracy (precision grade) is introduced in this document.
As a code of practice, this European Standard takes the form of guidance and
recommendations. It should not be quoted as if it were a specification and particular care
should be taken to ensure that claims of compliance are not misleading.
A standard does not purport to include all necessary provisions of a contract. Users of
standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.
