Data does not need to be logged and filed to meet the requirements of the new standard. The equipment must allow the control of all essential welding parameters. This means the welder must be able to verify whether he is able to maintain the parameters stated in the WPS. A V/A reading accomplishes this task. ESAB’s equipment guarantees a deviation of just 1% between set and displayed parameters, while the applicable standard EN 60974-1 allows for a total of 12.5%.
