BS EN 14532-1:2004 – Welding consumables — Test methods and quality requirements — Part 1: Primary methods and conformity assessment of consumables for steel, nickel and nickel alloys
1 Scope
This document describes the basic verification tests, the testing methods, the amount of testing and the requirements for the qualification of welding consumables for steel, nickel and nickel alloys intended for all fields of application.
This document describes a wide range of tests, which are appropriate for the majority of applications. When supplementary tests are required (see EN 1 4532-2), these can be carried out at any time without the need to repeat the primary tests.
NOTE Additional information is given in Annex O.
