Where non-welded joints are made between metallic materials and/or non-metallic materials, procedures shall
be established in a manner similar to that used in establishing welding procedures, and these procedures
shall be followed for all joints. Similarly, operators shall be qualified in such procedures, and only qualified

not dealt with. In case of joining combining roller expanding and welding, this Annex applies only if the
mechanical strength is ensured only by the roller expanding.

2 New Annex C

Annex C
(normative)

Specification and approval of expansion procedures and operators
C.1 General
This annex defines general rules for the specification and approval of expansion procedures and operators
using expansion by mechanical rolling.
The approval of expansion procedures is obtained by expansion procedure tests and for operators by
procedure test or production.

C.1.1 Responsibility
The manufacturer of pressure equipment is responsible for the expansion performed in the organisation and
shall conduct the test required in this annex to qualify the expansion procedures and the performances of the
expansion operators who apply these procedures.
The manufacturer shall maintain a record of the process qualification and for expansion operators’
performance qualification.

C.1.2 Specification of expansion procedures
The purpose of the Expansion Procedure Specification (EPS) is to determine that the expansion proposed is
capable of providing the required properties for its intended application.
The expansion test shall be adequately planned prior to production; the planning shall provide EPS’s for all
expansion joints. An EPS shall be classified as a pre-EPS until approved in accordance with the rules of this
annex.
The manufacturer may, in addition to the EPS, prepare detailed work instructions etc. to be used during the
actual production. Work instructions are not mandatory and are the responsibility of the manufacturer.
If prepared, work instructions shall:

– be prepared on the basis of an EPS;
– define values for the expansion process to be used by the operators for all essential variables under
control of operator.
The EPS shall give details of how the expansion operation is to be performed and shall contain all relevant
information of the expansion work.

C.1.3 Technical content of expansion procedure specification (EPS)
The parameters contained inside the expansion procedure specification are classified into categories (see
Table C.1):
– essential variable: a variable in which a change may affect the mechanical properties of the expanded joint
and may require a requalification according to C.4;
– non-essential variable: a variable in which a change may be made without a requalification.
The recorder parameters shall be those which are monitored during the expansion of the test sample.
The EPS shall contain at least – and when applicable – the following information:
a) identification of the manufacturer;
b) identification of workshops or sites where the EPS is applicable;
c) identification of EPS;
d) reference to Expansion Procedure Approval Record or other documents as required;
e) following material details:
