Overview

The standard is intended to serve as a tool for communication between a purchaser and a supplier of welding consumables within quality systems, such as those based upon ISO 9001. It provides together with this International Standard or other standard for welding consumables a method for preparing all specific details needed for welding consumable procurement which consists of: - the welding consumable classification (selected from the applicable International Standard or other standards for welding consumables) - the lot classification (selected from clause 4 of this standard) - the testing schedule (selected from clause 5 of this standard). The selection of the specific welding consumable classification, lot classification, and testing schedule depends upon the requirements of the application for which the welding consumable is being procured. The International Standard has been prepared by ISO/TC 44/SC 3 "Welding and allied processes - Welding consumables" (secretariat: ANSI, USA), in collaboration with CEN/TC 121 "Welding". The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 092-00-03 AA "Schweißzusätze (DVS AG W 5)" ("Welding consumables (DVS AG W 5)") of NAS.
