Human resources

5.2.1 Welding inspectors

5.2.1.1 Tasks, responsibility and qualifications of welding inspectors
Depending on their qualifications, welding inspectors are required to assume the range of tasks and
responsibility defined by DIN EN 719.
To be authorised as a welding inspector, a person must possess the qualifications from Table 3.
Persons responsible for welding inspection must be suitably qualified and experienced according to
DIN EN 719.
5.2.1.2 Appointment of welding inspectors for welding works
Depending on their component classification, welding works must appoint welding inspectors according to Annex A. The welding inspectors must belong to the works.
5.2.1.3 Organisational integration
Persons responsible for welding inspection can be authorised only if they are integrated in the organisational structure of the welding works in such a way that they can, without hindrance, assume their
functions and range of responsibility as defined by DIN EN 719 and this Standard. For this purpose,
they must be empowered to give orders and take decisions that are independent of inherent
manufacturing necessities.
To stand in unconditionally for a responsible welding inspector, an authorised deputy must possess
equal or better qualifications
Company proprietors, managing directors, works managers and production managers cannot be
authorised as responsible welding inspectors for component class C 1. Authorisation as a deputy for a
responsible welding inspector is possible. Authorisation as a responsible welding inspector for component class C 2 is possible only if welding production in the works is minimal.
5.2.1.4 External welding inspectors
Welding inspectors not belonging to the welding works may, by way of exception, be authorised as
responsible welding inspectors for component classes C 2, C 3 and C 5 if the following conditions are
satisfied:A deputy who belongs to the welding works and complies with Annex A, must be present and
authorised (not for C 5) in this welding works.
The welding inspector must have a contract with the welding works. This inspectors principal employer must consent to this arrangement.

welding inspector is external.
Responsible welding inspectors who do not belong organisationally to the welding works, but rather to
another unit run by the same manufacturer (e.g. holding, head office, administrative centre), are
deemed external in the case of both OEM welding companies and repair works.
If a rail vehicle operator runs small repair works which occasionally perform welding repairs on class
C 1 or C 2 components in connection with rail vehicle repairs, then a Level 1 welding inspector from
one repair works can be authorised additionally as the responsible welding inspector for two more
small repair works run by the same rail vehicle operator.
These repair works are then awarded authorisation for component class C 2 and licensed to perform
welding operations in component class C 1 as well.
The code of practice defined by the competent supervisory authority must be observed. The above
definitions may be ignored only if approved by this authority.

5.2.2 Welders, operators, machine setters

For each welding process and material group, the welding works must have appropriately qualified
welders complying with DIN EN 287-1, DIN EN 287-2 and DIN EN ISO 9606-3, as well as operators
and machine setters meeting the requirements of DIN EN 1418.
The number of welders, operators and machine setters possessing a valid certificate depends on the
volume of operations. At least two welders are needed for each welding process and material group.
At least two operators and machine setters are required for each welding machine.

accordance with Annexes D and E as demanded by DIN EN 288-3 and DIN EN 288-4, and verified by
a report on the authorisation of the welding processes (WPAR). The examinations must be evaluated
in accordance with the requirements of Annex F.
A WPS for additional dimensions to material groups and welding processes that are already approved
can be verified by means of a documented work specimen according to DIN EN 288-8. This procedure
must be agreed with the authorised body.
A welding process specification for rail vehicle repairs can be verified by means of existing experience
according to DIN EN 288-6 or by work specimens according to DIN EN 288-8. Verification by means of
work specimens must be presented immediately before the start of manufacture in accordance with
Section 5.4.1, rather than in conjunction with the authorisation procedure.

6.3

Technical discussion

As part of the authorisation procedure, a technical discussion to verify knowledge of, and compliance
with, the requirements of this Standard and DIN EN 719 must be conducted with the welding inspectors who are about to be authorised.

6.4

Welding certificate

The authorised body will issue a certificate according to Annex C, showing that the successfully
examined welding works meets the requirements of this Standard.
The authorisation is tied to the site where the welding works and its welding inspectors are located.

6.5

Validity of the certificate supervising, extending and changing

The validity of the certificate is limited to not more than three years.
The welding works must report immediately to the authorised body in case of changes affecting the
terms of the certificate.
The authorised body will decide whether or not to extend the validity of the certificate.
During the period of validity, the authorised body will watch out for compliance with the requirements
of this Standard under the terms of the welding certificate.
Upon expiry, the authorised body may prolong the certificate after examining the welding works.

GERMAN STANDARD
DIN 6700-2:2001-05

May 2001

Upon implementation of a works review according to Section 6.1, the validity can be extended without
any further examination, provided
1. the welding inspectors continue to perform their functions under the old authorisation, and
2. the technical, human and organisational prerequisites meet the requirements of this Standard, and
3. valid examination certificates according to DIN EN 287-1, DIN EN 287-2 and DIN EN 1418 have
been awarded to the welders and welding personnel, and
4. no major complaints have been made in connection with the validity of the certificate, and
5. work specimens according to DIN 6700-4 have been manufactured and documented.
The authorisation procedure must be repeated in the absence of compliance with any of the above
conditions.
The review according to 6.1 must be made once again by the authorised body in case of changes
affecting the validity of the certificate.
In justified cases, the authorised body can make the validity of the certificate dependent on compliance with additional requirements (such as the employment of more welding inspectors, the examination and employment of further welders or welding personnel, additional quality assurance tests, routine working tests, manufacture under the supervision of the authorised body).

6.6

Cancellation of the certificate

The authorised body will cancel a certificate

1. in case of justified doubts about the proper execution of welding work in accordance with this
Standard,
2. in case of justified doubts about the due working of the welding inspectors in accordance with this
Standard (except for component class C 4),
3. in the absence of an authorised welding inspector (except for component class C 4),
4. in the absence of valid examination certificates for welders and welding personnel in accordance
with this Standard,
5. if welding work under the terms of this Standard is entrusted to unauthorised welders or welding
personnel,
6. if any other part of this Standard is ignored,
7. if the validity has expired,
8. if the welding works renounces the certificate.

Assessment of welded components for conformity
