BS EN ISO 15614-1:2017,Specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials — Welding procedure test — Part 1: Arc and gas welding of steels and arc welding of nickel and nickel alloys.BS EN ISO 15614-1:2017 pdf free download.
ISO 15614-1:2017 specifies how a preliminary welding procedure specification is qualified by welding procedure tests.
ISO 15614-1:2017 applies to production welding, repair welding and build-up welding.
ISO 15614-1:2017 defines the conditions for the execution of welding procedure tests and the range of qualification for welding procedures for all practical welding operations within the qualification of this document.
All new welding procedure tests are to be carried out in accordance with this document from the date of its issue. However, this document does not invalidate previous welding procedure tests made to former national standards or specifications or previous issues of this document.
Two levels of welding procedure tests are given in order to permit application to a wide range of welded fabrication. They are designated by levels 1 and 2.
Level 1 is based on requirements of ASME Section IX and level 2 is based on the previous issues of this document.

4 Preliminary welding procedure specification( pWPS)
The preliminary welding procedure specification shall be prepared in accordance with ISO 15609-1 or ISO15609-2.
5 Welding procedure test
The welding and testing of test pieces shall be in accordance with Clauses 6 and 7.
The welder or welding operator who undertakes the welding procedure test satisfactorily in accordane to the relev th this document is gualified acco /international standard being applied.
provided that the relevant testing requirements of that standard are met.
6 Test piece
6.1 General
The welded joint to which the welding procedure will relate in production shall be represented by making a standard test piece or pieces, as specified in 6.2.
If required by the application standard, the direction of plate rolling shall be marked on the test piece when impact tests are required to be taken in the Heat Affected Zone ( HAZ ) and shall be mentioned in he impact test report.
