5.2 WeldIng processes
Welding procses are defined in ISO 857 and reference
numbers of welding processes for cymhohc
repnentation are listed iii ISO 4063.
This standard coveni the foUowin wekling prtx’esses:
111 — iuetal-an weldii with covered elecTrode;
114 — flux-tored wire metal-arc welding without gas
shield;
121 — submerged arc welding with wire electrode:
131 — metal-arc inert gas welding (MIG welding);
135 — metal-anD active gas welding (MAG welding);
136 — flux-cored wire metal-arc welding with active

6 Range of approval for the welder
6.1 General
As a general rule, the test piece approves the welder not only for the condrnons used In the test, but also for all joints which axe considered easier to weld. The range of approval for each type of test is gwen in the relevant subclauses and tabli. In ther tahIec the TdIL)C Uf 4pfl)V’dl IS UldIUtWd ut 11w iiw horizvutai line.
