AIM

The course is aimed at welders who want to enhance their current skills and achieve a certificate that demonstrates they can produce welds that conform to the British Standard BS4872.
BS 4872 is for the qualification of welders where a weld procedure is not required either by the application standard that governs the quality of production welds or by contractual agreement.

ACCEPTANCE STANDARDS

In general welds must show a neat workman like appearance. The root must be fully fused along the entire length of the weld, the profile of the cap should blend in smoothly with the parent material and the weld should be significantly free from imperfections. Reference should be made to the acceptance standard for precise details.
