EN 1011-6:2018 (E) 5 European foreword This document (EN 1011-6:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 121 “Welding and allied processes”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2019 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2019. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 1011-6:2005. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows: a) the normative references and bibliography have been updated; b) subclause 12.3 (Assembling and fixtures) has been modified; c) fiber laser has been added in Annex A (Equipment). EN 1011 consists of the following parts, under the general title Welding — Recommendations for welding of metallic materials: — Part 1: General guidance for arc welding; — Part 2: Arc welding of ferritic steels; — Part 3: Arc welding of stainless steels; — Part 4: Arc welding of aluminium and aluminium alloys; — Part 5: Welding of clad steel; — Part 6: Laser beam welding; — Part 7: Electron beam welding; — Part 8: Welding of cast irons. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

EN 1011-6:2018 (E) 6 Introduction This document is being issued in several parts in order that it can be extended to cover the different types of metallic materials that will be produced to all European Standards for weldable metallic materials. When this document is referenced for contractual purposes the ordering authority or contracting parties should state the need for compliance with the relevant parts of this document and such other annexes as are appropriate. This document gives general guidance for the satisfactory production and control of welding and associated processes and details of some of the possible detrimental phenomena that can occur, with advice on methods by which they can be avoided. It is generally applicable to laser beam processing of metallic materials and also to some extent for non-metallic materials. It is appropriate regardless of the type of fabrication involved, although the relevant product standard, structural code or the design specification can have additional requirements. Permissible design stresses, methods of testing and inspection levels are not included because they depend on the service conditions of the fabrication. These details should be obtained from the relevant application standard or by agreement between the contracting parties. It has been assumed in the drafting of the standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified, experienced and trained personnel. SIST EN 1011-6:2019

4 Health and safety and protection of the environment See EN 14717 for a general environmental checklist which is also applicable to laser beam welding. Laser beam processing introduces additional hazards over and above those normally experienced in arc welding. Specialist advice should be sought, see e.g. EN 60825-1 and EN ISO 11553-1. Guidance for safety aspects related to the application of industrial robots for manipulation of the focussing devices and/or the components to be welded can be found in EN ISO 10218-1 and EN ISO 10218-2. 5 Quality requirements Laser beam welding is a complex process needing detailed process control. All processing is performed under numerical control necessitating programming of each single operation. The application shall be controlled at a level compatible with EN ISO 3834-2 and EN ISO 3834-5. This does not entail a requirement for certification but the process control should operate in accordance with EN ISO 3834-2 and EN ISO 3834-5. It is a condition for efficient process control that quality requirements for joint geometry and other relevant requirements have been specified prior to start of fabrication. A number of European Standards specify joint geometry and relevant quality criteria and can be used for reference, as appropriate: Table 1 — Quality criteria Requirements and tolerances Standard no.
