INTRODUCTION

The practice of approval testing of welding procedures

welders has been employed for over half a century.

Approval testing is carried out prior to production

commencing and it is therefore essentially a quality

assurance measure rather than a quality control activit

WHAT IS BS EN 287-1?

BS EN 287-1 is a European Standard that defines t

qualification testing of welders for the fusion weld

of steels.

HOW DOES IT HELP?

It provides a set of technical rules for a systematicqualification test for welders. It enables weldingqualifications to be uniformly accepted independentthe type of product, location and examiner/examinin

body.

It places emphasis on the welder's ability to manuallmanipulate the electrode / welding torch / welding

blowpipe and to produce a weld of acceptable qualit

WHAT DOES IT COVER?

It covers fusion-welding processes which are designa

manual or partly mechanized welding. It does not cov

fully mechanized and automated welding processes.

INTRODUCTION

Welding procedure specifications are needed in order

to provide a well defined basis for planning of the weld

operations and for quality control during welding. Weld

is considered a special process in the terminology of

standards for quality systems. Standards for quality sys

usually require that special processes shall be carried ou

accordance with written procedure specifications.

SCOPE

This standard defines general rules for the specification

approval of welding procedures for metallic materials.

standard also refers to several other standards as regarddetailed rules for specific applications.
