This European Standard specifies acceptance levels for indications from surface breaking imperfections in metallic welds detected by penetrant testing.
The acceptance levels are primarily intended for use during manufacture testing , but where appropriate they can be used for in service inspection.
The acceptance levels in this standard are based on detection capabilities that can be expected when using techniques specified in EN 571-1 and parameters recommended in Annex A. The acceptance levels can be related to welding standards, application standards, specifications or codes. Such a relationship is shown in EN 12062 or EN 25817 and EN 30042.
