Part 1: Arc and gas welding of steels and arc welding of nickel and nickel alloys
BS EN ISO 15614-1:2017 BRITISH STANDARD
National foreword
This British Standard is the UK implementation of EN ISO 15614-1:2017.
It supersedes BS EN ISO 15614-1:2004+A2:2012, which is withdrawn.
BSI, as a member of CEN, is obliged to publish EN 15614-1:2017 as a
British Standard. However, attention is drawn to the fact that during
the development of this standard, the UK committee voted against
its approval.
The UK committee is concerned that the format of this standard may
cause a problem when working to either of the two welding procedure
test levels. Level 1 is based on the requirements of ASME BPVC Section
IX,Welding, Brazing, and Fusing Qualifications , and Level 2, for which
the extent of testing is greater, is based on the previous version of this
standard; BS EN ISO 15614-1:2004+A2:2012. It is important to note
that a procedure test carried out to Level 2 automatically qualifies for
Level 1 requirements, but not vice-versa. Furthermore, when no level is
specified in a contract or application standard, all the requirements o f
Level 2 should be applied.
Users should be aware that, as the requirements of the two levels are
o ften specified in the same clause, vigilance is required to identi fy the
testing requirements and the range o f qualification for the particular
welding procedure test level.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical
Committee WEE/3 6, Qualification o f welding personnel and
welding procedures.
A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on
request to its secretary.
This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions
of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.

8.3 .1 .1 General
In order to minimize the number of welding procedure tests, steels, nickel and nickel alloys are grouped
according to ISO/TR 15608. Where materials are assigned to groups by ISO/TR 20172, ISO/TR 20173 or
ISO/TR 20174, those assignments shall be used.
Separate welding procedure quali fications are required for each parent material or parent material
combinations not covered by the grouping system according to ISO/TR 20172, ISO/TR 20173,
ISO/TR 20174 or ISO/TR 15608.
