Specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials - General rules (ISO 15607:2003)

This European Standard is part of a series of standards. Annex A gives details of this series of standard, annex B gives a flowchart for the use of these standards and Annex C gives a flow diagram for the development and qualification of a WPS.
This standard defines general rules for the specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials. This standard also refers to several other standards as regards detailed rules for specific applications.
This standard is applicable to manual, mechanized and automatic welding.
Welding procedures are qualified by conforming to one or more welding procedure qualification records (WPQR). The use of a particular method of qualification is often a requirement of an application standard.  
Qualification of pWPS by more than one method is not recommended.It is assumed that welding procedure specifications are used in production by competent welders, qualified in accordance with the relevant part of EN 287 or EN ISO 9606 or by competent operators qualified in accordance with EN 1418.

EN ISO 15607:2003 (E)4IntroductionWelding procedure specifications are needed in order to provide a well defined basis for planning of the weldingoperations and for quality control during welding. Welding is considered a special process in the terminology ofstandards for quality systems. Standards for quality systems usually require that special processes be carried out inaccordance with written procedure specifications.Preparation of a welding procedure specification provides the necessary basis for, but does not in itself ensure thatthe welds fulfil the requirements. Some deviations, notably imperfections and distortions, can be evaluated by non-destructive methods on the finished product.Metallurgical deviations constitute a special problem, however, because non-destructive evaluation of themechanical properties is impossible at the present level of non-destructive technology, this has resulted in theestablishment of a set of rules for qualification of the welding procedure prior to the release of the specification toactual production. This European Standard defines these rules.SIST EN ISO 15607:2004
