What is ISO 15618-1 - Qualification testing of welders for Hyperbaric wet welding about?
ISO 15618-1 specifies essential requirements, ranges of qualification, test conditions, acceptance requirements, and certification for the qualification testing of welder-diver performance.
ISO 15618-1 is applicable for hyperbaric wet welding on steel. 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.
The welding processes referred to in ISO 15618-1 include those fusion welding processes which are designated as manual or partly mechanized welding.
Who is ISO 15618-1 - Qualification testing of welders for Hyperbaric wet welding for?
ISO 15618-1 on Qualification testing of welders for Hyperbaric wet welding is useful for:
- Testing laboratories
- Welders
- Industrial welding department
- Safety regulation authorities
Why should you use ISO 15618-1 - Qualification testing of welders for Hyperbaric wet welding?
ISO 15618-1 helps to provide the principles that to be observed in the qualification testing of welder-diver performance for the fusion welding of steels in a hyperbaric wet environment.
ISO 15618-1 helps the welder-diver 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 ISO 15618-1 depends on welding methods in which uniform rules and test conditions are complied with, and standard test pieces are used.
The principle of ISO 15618-1 is that a qualification test qualifies a welder-diver not only for the conditions used in the test but also for all other conditions which are considered easier to weld
ISO 15618-1 is presumed that the welder-diver has received training and/or has industrial practice within the range of qualification.
ISO 15618-1 is intended to provide to the user the basis for mutual recognition by examining bodies for qualification relating to the welder-diver’s competence in the various fields of application.
