26、el alloys. The term “nickel” stands for nickel and weldable nickel alloys. The ability of the welder to follow verbal or written instructions and testing of his skill are therefore important factors in ensuring the quality of the welded product. Testing of skill to this standard depends on welding m
27、ethods in which uniform rules and test conditions are complied with, and standard test pieces are used. The test weld can be used to approve a welding procedure and a welder provided that all the relevant requirements, e.g.test piece dimensions, are satisfied (seerelevant part of EN288-2). 1 Scope T
28、his standard specifies essential requirements, ranges of approval, test conditions, acceptance requirements and certification for the approval testing of welder performance for the welding of nickel. This standard applies to the approval testing of welders for the fusion welding of nickel. This stan
29、dard is intended to provide the basis for the mutual recognition by examining bodies for approval relating to welders competence in the various fields of application. Tests will be carried out in accordance with this standard unless more severe tests are specified by the relevant application standar
30、d when these are applied. During the approval test the welder should be required to show adequate practical experience and job knowledge (test non mandatory) of the welding processes, materials and safety requirements for which he is to be approved; information on these aspects is given in Annex A.
31、This standard is applicable when the welders approval testing is required by the purchaser, by inspection authorities or by other organizations. The welding processes referred to in this standard include those fusion welding processes which are designated as manual or partly mechanized welding. It d
32、oes not cover fully mechanized and automatic processes (see5.2). This standard covers approval testing of welders for work on semi-finished and finished products made from wrought, forged or cast material types listed in5.4. The certificate of approval testing is issued under the sole responsibility
33、 of the examiner or examining body. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references
