IIW Annual Report 2022

WORKING GROUP STANDARDISATION

Standardisation is definitely a core activity of the IIW since its creation. Since nearly 40 years, it is moreover recognised by ISO (the International Or ganization for Standardization) as an inter- national standardising body, which permits to transfer to the industry cutting edge techno-logies developed in world-class universities, research centres and companies. IIW also plays a key role in the development of quality management standards in the field of welding and allied processes, allowing manufacturers from various fields to achieve their objectives in terms of safety, reliability and product performance. These standards also address the needs for qualified personnel, for the growth of their skills and competences and for well-being at work. Current projects notably intent to cover safety of welding consumables, eddy current array testing, quality requirement for soldering and the terminology used in various areas of material joining, processing and testing.
