Qualification testing of welders for underwater welding - Part 1 : diver-welders for hyperbaric wet welding

ISO 15618-1:2016 specifies essential requirements, ranges of qualification, test conditions, acceptance requirements and certification for the qualification testing of welder-diver performance. ISO 15618-1:2016 is applicable for hyperbaric wet welding on steel. The recommended format for the certificate of qualification testing is given in Annex A. During the qualification test, the welder-diver may be required to show adequate job knowledge of the welding processes, materials and safety requirements for which he is to be qualified. Information on these aspects is given in Annex B. The welding processes referred to in this part of ISO 15618 include those fusion welding processes which are designated as manual or partly mechanised welding. It does not cover fully mechanised and fully automatic processes (see 5.2). This part of ISO 15618 applies to all new qualifications from the date of issue. However, ISO 15618-1:2016 does not invalidate previous welder-diver qualifications made to former national standards or specifications, providing the intent of the technical requirements is satisfied and the previous qualifications are relevant to the application and production work on which they are employed. The certificate of qualification testing is issued under the sole responsibility of the examiner or examining body.

Qualification testing of welders for underwater welding - Part 1 : diver-welders for hyperbaric wet welding

ISO 15618-1:2016 specifies essential requirements, ranges of qualification, test conditions, acceptance requirements and certification for the qualification testing of welder-diver performance.

ISO 15618-1:2016 is applicable for hyperbaric wet welding on steel.

The recommended format for the certificate of qualification testing is given in Annex A.

During the qualification test, the welder-diver may be required to show adequate job knowledge of the welding processes, materials and safety requirements for which he is to be qualified. Information on these aspects is given in Annex B.

The welding processes referred to in this part of ISO 15618 include those fusion welding processes which are designated as manual or partly mechanised welding. It does not cover fully mechanised and fully automatic processes (see 5.2).

This part of ISO 15618 applies to all new qualifications from the date of issue.

However, ISO 15618-1:2016 does not invalidate previous welder-diver qualifications made to former national standards or specifications, providing the intent of the technical requirements is satisfied and the previous qualifications are relevant to the application and production work on which they are employed.

The certificate of qualification testing is issued under the sole responsibility of the examiner or examining body.

<p> La présente norme s'applique à des procédés de soudage pour lesquels l'habileté manuelle du scaphandrier soudeur a une influence déterminante sur la qualité de l'assemblage. La présente norme est applicable dans le cas où la qualification du scaphandrier soudeur est exigée par le client, par l'organisme d'inspection ou par une autre instance. Les procédés de soudage concernés par la présente norme sont les procédés de soudage par fusion, manuels ou semi-automatiques. La présente norme ne s'applique pas aux procédés totalement mécanisés ou automatiques (voir 5.2). Il convient que toute nouvelle qualification soit conforme à la présente norme dès parution de celle-ci. La présente norme ne rend toutefois pas caduques les qualifications de scaphandriers soudeurs délivrées au titre d'anciennes normes ou spécifications nationales dans la mesure où l'esprit de ses exigences techniques est respecté et où ces dernières correspondent aux applications et aux fabrications pour lesquelles elles sont employées. S'il convient que des essais complémentaires soient effectués pour rendre l'ancienne qualification nationale techniquement équivalente, il convient que ceux-ci soient effectués sur des assemblages de qualification conformes à la présente norme. Il convient que les qualifications dispensées sur la base des normes ou spécifications nationales antérieures soient examinées et fassent l'objet d'un accord sur leur utilisation entre les parties contractantes, ceci à l'occasion de l'appel d'offres ou lors de la conclusion d'un contrat. La délivrance du certificat de qualification relève de la seule responsabilité de l'examinateur ou de l'organisme d'examen. </p>

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
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.
