1 Scope
This standard applies to panel joints that are butt welded using the drawn arc method. This welding
method is comparable to stud welding according to VW 01107. A panel section/panel segment is
joined with an uncoated or surface-treated (e.g., electrolytically zinc-coated or hot-dipped) steel
panel of 0,5 to 3,0 mm thickness by drawn arc welding.
The Test Specification is applied in sample tests, acceptance tests, and series production monito-
ring tests and is used to evaluate the seam quality and strength of the welded parts.
The welding suitability of the materials used must be ensured. The dimensional stability and functi-
on of the component must be ensured after welding.
This standard deals with the weld's quality in terms of its strength. Other quality requirements may
be necessary, since arc welds are also subject to various requirements related to corrosion and
Numerical notation according to ISO practice (see VW 01000).
leak tightness, depending on their position and on the painting methods applied. Requirements
beyond the scope of this Standard must be specified in the drawing. Additional measures necessa-
ry to ensure warranties like "3 years for paintwork" or "12 years against corrosion perforation" must
be coordinated by the Planning Department, the Body-in-White Design Engineering Department,
and the engineers responsible for corrosion protection.
The requirements defined below must be met for all welds. Deviations from the Test Specification
must be entered on the component drawing.

Drawn arc welding is designated below with the abbreviation DAW.

3.2 Dimensional check of the weld width b, the weld length l, and the height of the panel
segment P
The weld length l and weld length b as well as other design specifications (e.g., angular position)
with associated tolerances must be implemented according to the drawing.
The following applies in general to the weld width b: t2 ≤ b ≤ 3 t2
The nominal dimension for the weld length and panel height of the welded-on panel segment (P)
must be obtained from the drawing. Process-related reshaping as a result of melting in the joint
area as well as manufacturing tolerances must be taken into consideration in the component de-
sign of the individual part (e.g., for RPS mountings → RPS = reference point system).
