National foreword
This standard has been published in accordance with a decision taken by CEN/TC 121 to adopt, without
alteration, International Standard ISO 9606-2 as a European Standard.
The responsible German body involved in its preparation was the Normenausschuss Schweitechnik
(Welding Standards Committee).
The aim of this standard is to ensure that the qualification testing of welders is performed under the same
conditions and using the same types of test piece, irrespective of where such tests are held. By passing the
test as specified here, a welder demonstrates that he is adequately qualified to be employed for the fusion
welding of steel in industry within the scope specified in this standard.
The standard thus provides a basis for mutual recognition of welder qualification test certificates by the
bodies responsible for the various fields of application.
This standard does not provide information on examiners and testing bodies involved in the qualification
testing of welders since these are indicated in the relevant legal regulations, specialized standards, codes
of practice, or technical delivery conditions.
Welders who apply for approval in Germany are required to take the job knowledge test detailed in Annex A.
Welders who are employed in Germany and have not passed such a test will be at least required to
demonstrate that they have some knowledge in occupational safety and accident prevention.
DIN ISO 857 is the standard corresponding to International Standard 857-1 referred to in clause 2 of the
EN ISO.
Amendments
This standard differs from DIN EN 287, September 1997 edition, in that it has been completely revised.
Previous editions
DIN 8561: 1974-02; DIN EN 287-2: 1992-04, 1997-09.
