BS 4872-2:1976

This standard BS 4872-2:1976 Specification for approval testing of welders when welding procedure approval is not required is classified in these ICS categories:

• 25.160.01 Welding, brazing and soldering in general

This British Standard specifies requirements for the approval testing of welders to be engaged on the TIG or MIG welding of those aluminium and aluminium alloy fabrications for which the welding procedure itself does not have to be approved.

NOTE This link to the non-mandatory approval of the welding procedure will result in the use of this standard becoming defined more closely in respect of the particular fabrication, e.g. with regard to material, thickness and joint configuration.

Choice of 12 test welds covering sheet, plate and pipe, with requirements for examination and testing.
