The purpose of this document is to provide a general set of rules for brazing procedure qualification
independent of product or application.All new brazing procedure tests are to be carried out in accordance with this document from the date of
its issue. However, this document does not invalidate previous brazing procedure tests made to former
standards or specifications.Where additional tests need to be carried out to make the qualification technically equivalent, it is only

record (BPQR) and brazing procedure specification (BPS).This document gives provisions on general quality requirements for brazing (see Annex A).
This document does not cover testing of residual stresses, corrosion resistance and impact properties.
This document applies to the following brazing processes in accordance with ISO 8572 and ISO 4063
with local and global heating:— 911 Infrared brazing;
— 912 Flame brazing, torch brazing;
— 913 Laser beam brazing;
— 914 Electron beam brazing;

The test piece or pieces shall be brazed using a type of joint design proposed in the pBPS and be
representative for the intended production.6.2 Shape and dimensions of test pieces
If not specified in application standard, the shape and dimension of the test piece shall be agreed by the
contracting parties.The test piece is typically a basic lap or butt joint in sheet material or a sleeve joint in tube (for examples
of applicable joint configurations, see Annex C).The size of the test piece shall be sufficient to allow all required tests to be carried out. Additional test
pieces may be prepared in order to allow for extra and/or for re-testing specimens.

Normally, macro sections are sufficient. However, micro sections can be required.
One first surface and one second surface test.Application standards can specify additional tests, e.g.:
— longitudinal tensile test;
— volumetric testing (RT or UT);
— corrosion tests;
— chemical analysis;
— cruciform test.
NOTE Specific service, material or manufacturing conditions can require more comprehensive testing than
is specified by this document in order to gain more information and to avoid repeating the brazing procedure
