BSI publishes guidelines for welding
requirements
BSI Business Information has published new guidelines and specifications to help companies meet welding requirements.
To provide a well-defined basis for planning welding operations safely and to ensure a system for quality control during welding, it is important that organisations issue the relevant welding procedure specifications, and ensure that welders are qualified and appropriately trained and tested to do the work safely and precisely BSI Business Information has published guidelines and specifications to help companies meet welding requirements

Welding fabrication has many environmental aspects, so this document provides for a checklist, which may be used for identification of environmental aspects during welding fabrication of metallic materials including site and repair work.
Provisions have to be restricted to a general guidance; limit values are specified in national laws.
Informative annexes indicate recommended actions for avoiding and reducing the possible environmental impacts outside the workshop.
The price is GBP64 or GBP32 for BSI Subscribing Members.
BS EN ISO 15614-10:2005, 'Specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials, Welding procedure test, Hyperbaric dry welding.
This specifies how to qualify welding procedure specifications for welding in hyperbaric dry environments.
It also specifies the minimum testing requirements necessary for qualification of welding procedures.
BS EN ISO 15614-10 may be used to qualify welding procedures using mechanised and automated welding.
It does not invalidate previously qualified welding procedures in accordance with other standards or specifications, providing the technical requirements are satisfied and the previous qualifications are relevant to the application and production work on which they are to be employed.

BS EN 14015:2004, 'Specification for the design and manufacture of site built, vertical, cylindrical, flat-bottomed, above ground, welded, steel tanks for the storage of liquids at ambient temperature and above'.
This document specifies the requirements for the materials, design, fabrication, erection, testing and inspection of site built, vertical, cylindrical, flat bottomed, above ground, welded, steel tanks for the storage of liquids at ambient temperatures and above, and the technical agreements that need to be reached.
It refers to the structural integrity of the basic tank structure and does not provide requirements for considering process design, operational issues, safety and firefighting facilities, in-service inspection, maintenance or repair.
BS EN 14015:2004 applies to closed-top tanks, with and without internal floating covers and open-top tanks, with and without floating roofs.
It does not apply to 'lift-type' gas holders.
The price is GBP202 or GBP101 for BSI Subscribing Members.
BS EN ISO 9606-2:2004, 'Qualification test of welders, Aluminium and aluminium alloys'.
This document specifies the requirements for qualification of welders for fusion welding of aluminium and aluminium alloys.
It provides a set of technical rules for systematic qualification of welders that are independent of product type, location and examiner/examining body.
The welding processes referred to in this standard include those fusion-welding processes that are designated as manual or partly mechanized welding.
It does not qualify fully mechanised and automated welding processes.

BS EN ISO 15609-1:2004, 'Specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials, Welding procedure specification, Arc Welding'.
This document specifies the requirements for the content of welding procedure specifications for arc welding processes.
BS EN ISO 15609-1:2004 forms part of the BS EN ISO 15609 series of standards.
The variables listed in this standard are those influencing the quality of the welded joint.
BS EN ISO 15609-1:2004 replaces BS EN 288-2:1992, which has been withdrawn.

BS EN ISO 18273:2004, 'Welding consumables, Wire electrodes, wires and rods for welding aluminium and aluminium alloys, Classification'.
This specifies requirements for classification of solid wires and rods for fusion welding of aluminium and aluminium alloys.
The classification of the solid wires and rods is based on their chemical composition.
For aluminium welding consumables there is no unique relationship between the product form (solid wire or rod) and the welding process used (eg gas shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, plasma arc welding or other welding processes).
For this reason the solid wires or rods may be classified on the basis of any of the above product forms and can be used as appropriate, for more than one of the above processes.
The price is GBP52 or GBP26 for BSI Subscribing Members.
