CEN/TC 121/WG 11 - Stud welding

ISO 13918:2008 specifies requirements for studs and ceramic ferrules for arc stud welding, dimensions, materials, mechanical properties and, when required, conditions of evaluation of conformity.

ISO 14555:2006 covers arc stud welding of metallic materials subject to static and dynamic loading. It specifies requirements that are particular to stud welding, in relation to welding knowledge, quality requirements, welding procedure specification, welding procedure qualification, qualification testing of operators and testing of production welds.
ISO 14555:2006 is appropriate where it is necessary to demonstrate the capability of a manufacturer to produce welded construction of a specified quality.
ISO 14555:2006 has been prepared in a comprehensive manner, with a view to its being used as a reference in contracts. The requirements contained within it can be adopted in full, or partially, if certain requirements are not relevant to a particular construction.

This standard includes the most important dimensions of studs and ceramic ferrules for arc stud welding. The range of types of studs specified in this standard accounts for customary applications. Further types may be specified as required for special application. This standard can be used in all fields of the metal-working industry.

This standard covers arc stud welding of metallic materials subject to static and dynamic loading. It specifies requirements particular to stud welding related to welding knowledge, quality requirements welding, procedure specification, welding procedure approval, approval testing of welders and testing of production welds.  This standard is appropriate where a contract between the parties concerned, an application standard or regulatory requirements (hereafter designated "contract", see EN 729-1) requires the demonstration of a manufacturers capability to produce welded construction of a specified quality.  It has been prepared in a comprehensive manner to be used as a reference in contracts. The requirements given can be adopted in full or some can be deleted, if not relevant to the construction concerned (see Annex A).
