6.2 Qualification requirements
See line 100 in Table 3 of this technical specification.
Qualification shall normally comprise assessment of pre-production forgings. See Table 2, No. 4.2.
6.3 Re-qualification requirements
Re-qualification of serial production forgings may be required, at the purchaser’s discretion, in the following
cases:
 modification of the drawing;
 use of forging stock from a different source;
 modifications to the forging stock form and/or manufacturer route;
 modifications to an existing die;
 use of a new (replacement) die;
 modifications to the forging manufacturing route;
 use of a new forging manufacturer;
 when a significant time interval (usually several years) had elapsed between forging campaigns for a
specific part number;
 when required by the purchaser for any other reason.
Re-qualification testing requirements, especially location of test pieces, shall be identical to those used for the
initial qualification of the pre-production forgings unless otherwise specified on the order, drawing or
inspection schedule.
6.4 Release requirements
Release testing shall be the responsibility of the manufacturer. The sampling procedure for release testing
shall be one of the following, as specified on the order, drawing or inspection schedule. Where no procedure
is specified, procedure A shall be used.
 Procedure A: Separate forged test samples shall be produced from the same batch of forging stock as
that used to make the serial production forgings. Procedure A may be used alone unless denoted AX on
the drawing, order or inspection schedule in which case it shall be applied only in conjunction with
procedure X (see 6.5).
 Procedure B: Separate forged heat treatment control test samples shall be prepared which conform to the
same material standard as the production forgings, but may originate from a different batch of forging
stock. Procedure B shall only be used when full heat treatment of the serial production forgings is carried
out by the manufacturer and only in conjunction with procedure X (see 6.5).
 Procedure C: Integral test samples shall be removed from each forgings. The order, drawing of inspection
schedule shall specify how many test samples shall be tested per batch. Procedure C may be used alone
unless denoted CX on the drawing, order or inspection schedule in which case it shall be applied only in
conjunction with procedure X (see 6.5).
 Procedure D: Test samples shall be machined from forging(s) selected from each production batch and at
locations specified on the order, drawing or inspection schedule.

EN 4800-006:2010 (E)
The purchaser reserves the right to perform any of the inspections and/or tests required by the material
standard, drawing, order or inspection schedule.
When required, the manufacturer shall inform the purchaser of the planned dates for extraction of samples
and release testing in order that these operations may be witnessed.
6.5 Process control testing (Procedure X)
Procedure X is a process control procedure consisting of periodic “cut-up” testing to ensure that the serial
production forgings continues to conform to the specified requirements.
If procedure X is invoked by the order, drawing or inspection/manufacturing schedule and/or if procedures B,
AX or CX are used for release tests (see 6.4), forgings shall be selected from series production at the
frequency stated therein. It is recommended that the maximum number of forgings manufactured between
repeat “cut-up” testing conforming to procedure X shall be as stated in the following Table 1:
Table 1
Mass of forging Number of forgings
kg
≤ 1 ≤ 2 000
1 < mass ≤ 2 ≤ 1 000
2 < mass ≤ 5 ≤ 400
5 < mass ≤ 25 ≤ 200
As stated on the order, drawing, inspection schedule
> 25
The testing requirements, including the location, type and size of test pieces shall be identical to those used
for qualification of the pre-production.
6.6 Retests
Retests shall be required if the specified acceptance criteria are not fully met during qualification testing of
pre-production forgings, process control testing (procedure X) or batch release testing.
If the test product or test piece preparation is faulty, testing shall be re-applied at the original frequency after
rectification of the original cause of failure. At least one of the retests shall be from forgings from which the
unsatisfactory result was obtained (unless already rejected by the manufacturer after suitable identification of
the cause of failure). If insufficient material remains, the purchaser shall advise as to how to proceed.
If all retest results fulfil the specified acceptance criteria, the pre-production forging qualification/process
control test (procedure X) shall be deemed satisfactory or the batch shall be accepted, as appropriate.
If one or more retest results fail to fulfil the specified acceptance criteria, the following actions shall be taken:
a) For qualification testing of pre-production forgings, advice shall be sought from the purchaser as to
whether the retest results are acceptable for that part of the forging. If so, this shall be denoted by a note
on the drawing, together with values which are acceptable for that location. Alternatively, if it is essential
that the specified acceptance criteria are achieved at all locations, the purchaser may request
modifications to be made to the manufacturer route.
b) For process control testing (procedure X), the tests shall be repeated on a second forging taken as close
as possible to the above in the production sequence and/or and extensive review shall be made of the
manufacturing records of forgings made since the previous control tests. Serial production of the forging
in question (and others if appropriate/deemed necessary) shall not continue until the cause of the
unsatisfactory values has been ascertained and rectified.

EN 4800-006:2010 (E)
c) For batch release testing, the batch shall be either:
1) rejected; or
2) partially of fully re-heat treated if it is believed that re-heat treatment can rectify the cause of the
failure and then test as a completely new batch from which the conforming products shall be
accepted. The re-heat treatment shall be stated on the test and inspection report. No products or test
sample shall be re-heat treated more than once.
6.7 Special tests
Special tests and/or inspections may be required by the purchaser. In such cases, the nature of the test,
method, frequency and technical requirements shall be specified on the order, drawing or inspection schedule
and shall be mutually agreed by the manufacturer and purchaser.
6.8 Capability clause
The capability clause normally applies only to forgings of suitable size and configuration during process control
testing (procedure X) and/or batch release testing when invoking procedure D. The number of batches after
which sufficient statistical evidence is deemed to justify cessation of testing for a particular property (or
reduced frequency of testing) shall be mutually agreed between the manufacturer and purchaser. However,
this is no way reduces, the obligations of the manufacturer to fulfil the requirements. If subsequent testing
indicates that the product does not comply with the requirements, the batch shall be rejected.
6.9 Statistical process control
Reduction in the extent of release testing, other than that defined in 6.8 above may be negotiated with the
purchaser on the basis of appropriate statistical process control and/or statistical data.
6.10 Inspection and test report
The manufacturer shall furnish, with each delivery, a report conforming to the requirements of EN 2078 stating
the following:
 manufacturer’s name and address;
 order number;
 drawing and/or part number;
 material standard number;
 delivery condition and metallurgical code of the product;
 quantity of forgings;
