EN 1090-2:2008 (E)
Non destructive testing (NDT) methods shall be selected in accordance with EN 12062 by personnel qualified
according to Level 3 as defined in EN 473. Generally ultrasonic testing or radiographic testing applies to butt
welds and penetrant testing or magnetic particle inspection applies to fillet welds.
NDT, with the exception of visual inspection, shall be performed by personnel qualified according to Level 2 as
defined in EN 473.
If the inspection plan requires a check of the fit-up before the welding of hollow sections prepared for branch
welding, the following locations shall be given particular attention:
⎯ for circular sections: the mid-toe, mid-heel and two mid-flank positions;
12.4.2.1 Timing
The supplementary NDT of a weld shall generally not be completed until after the minimum hold time after
welding shown in Table 23.
For welds requiring preheat, these periods may be reduced if the weldment is post-heated for a period after
welding is complete in accordance with Annex C of EN 1011-2:2001.
If a weld will become inaccessible through subsequent work, it shall be inspected prior to subsequent work
being carried out.
Any weld located in a zone where unacceptable distortion has been corrected shall be inspected again.
All welds shall be visually inspected throughout their entire length. If surface imperfections are detected,
surface testing by penetrant testing or magnetic particle inspection shall be carried out on the inspected weld.
Unless otherwise specified no supplementary NDT is required for EXC1 welds. For EXC2, EXC3 and EXC4
welds the extent of supplementary NDT is as specified below.
The extent of NDT covers both testing of surface or internal imperfections if applicable.
For the first 5 joints made to the same new WPS the following requirements shall be fulfilled:
