STR1 T080 8

The document discusses requirements for testing structural steel materials and welding. It specifies that: 1) Test specimens that do not comply with standards may require further testing at the contractor's expense or rejection. 2) Steel plates subject to through-thickness tension must pass ultrasonic testing to check for lamellar tearing. 3) Welders must be capable of passing training tests to welding standards and may require approval testing depending on the welding procedure. 4) The proposed welding inspection authority must be accredited by the local standards body.

1:2004: carry out approval testing of welders to BS EN 287: Part 1:2004 for
steel and stainless steel and to BS EN 287:Part 2:1992 for aluminium as
appropriate;
b. For welds where welding procedure approval is not required: carry out
approval testing of welders to BS 4872:Part 1:1982 for steel and stainless steel
and to BS 4872:Part 2:1976 (1995) for aluminium as appropriate.
