In addition, it gives the range of qualification.

Application of this document is limited to parent material groups 1.1, 8.1, 21, 22.1 and 22.2 in accordance with ISO/TR 15608, which produce acceptable microstructures and properties in the heat-affected zone which do not deteriorate significantly in service.

This document is limited to:

—     butt welds and fillet welds in material of thicknesses t ≤ 40 mm (groups 1.1 and 8.1) and t ≤ 20 mm (groups 21, 22.1 and 22.2);

—     fillet welds with throat thickness a ≥ 1 mm.

This document is not applicable when any of the following is specified for the welded joint:

a)       hardness;

b)       impact properties;

c)        preheating;

d)       controlled heat input;

e)       interpass temperature;

f)         post-weld heat treatment.

The use of this document can also be restricted by an application standard, specification or other documents.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:

• mandatory clauses to satisfy,
• non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document "ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents" as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
