This European standard defines the qualification test of welders for the 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/examining body. When qualifying welders, the emphasis is placed on the welders ability to manually manipulate the electrode/welding torch/welding blowpipe and thereby producing a weld of acceptable quality.
