9 Welding Procedure Qualification Record (WPQR)
Annex A (informative) - Welding Procedure Qualification
                        Record form (WPQR)
Annex ZA (normative) - Corresponding International and
                        European Standards for which equivalents
                        are not given in the text

This standard is included in DIN DVS Handbook 283. Specifies how a welding procedure specification for electron or laser beam welding is qualified by a welding procedure test. Defines the conditions for the execution of welding procedure qualification tests and the limits of validity of a qualified welding procedure for all practical welding operations within the range of variables listed in clause 8. Applicable to metallic materials, irrespective of the shape of the parts, their thickness, manufacturing method (rolling, forging, casting, sintering, etc.) and their heat treatment.
