This standard BS EN ISO 9606-1:2017 Qualification testing of welders. Fusion welding is classified in these ICS categories:
- 25.160.10 Welding processes
- 03.100.30 Management of human resources
This part of ISO 9606 specifies the requirements for qualification testing of welders for fusion welding of steels.
It provides a set of technical rules for a systematic qualification test of the welder, and enables such qualifications to be uniformly accepted independently of the type of product, location and examiner or examining body.
When qualifying welders, the emphasis is placed on the welder's ability manually to manipulate the electrode, welding torch or welding blowpipe, thereby producing a weld of acceptable quality.
The welding processes referred to in this part of ISO 9606 include those fusion-welding processes which are designated as manual or partly mechanized welding. It does not cover fully mechanized and automated welding processes.
For such processes, see ISO 14732 [10] .
