What is ISO 15614?

ISO 15614:2024 is part of a multi-part series under ISO 15600, focusing on the qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials. It specifies the requirements for welding procedure tests to qualify the welding technique used on different materials and joint configurations. This ensures that the welded joints meet strength, ductility, toughness, and soundness criteria as required by the intended service condition.

The ISO 15614 series covers:

  1. Part 1: Arc and gas welding of steels and arc welding of nickel and nickel alloys
  2. Part 2: Arc welding of aluminium and its alloys
  3. Part 3: Fusion welding of non-alloyed and low-alloyed cast irons
  4. (and more as per industry application)


Why is ISO 15614 important?

For businesses relying on critical welds, ISO 15614 is essential for:

  1. Verifying welding procedure specifications (WPS) before production
  2. Meeting regulatory and client-specific quality demands
  3. Ensuring product integrity and operational safety
  4. Supporting global acceptance in trade and engineering contracts
  5. Building trust with clients by demonstrating welding capability

ISO 15614:2024 reflects the latest updates, aligning the qualification process with evolving industry materials, modern welding techniques, and safety protocols. It reduces operational risks and establishes technical consistency across teams and projects.

What are the benefits of ISO 15614?

  1. Ensures that welding procedures are technically sound and repeatable
  2. Facilitates international project qualification and acceptance
  3. Strengthens compliance with ISO 3834 and EN 1090 standards
  4. Supports risk mitigation by minimizing weld-related failures
  5. Helps meet industry-specific codes such as ASME, API, and PED
