Full title and description

STB UNE-EN 14532-2-2005 — "Welding consumables. Test methods and quality requirements. Part 2: Supplementary methods and conformity assessment of consumables for steel, nickel and nickel alloys." This document is the national adoption (UNE) of the CEN/EN text that specifies additional qualification tests, test assemblies and conformity assessment rules to be applied where supplementary verification of welding filler materials is required beyond the primary qualification in Part 1.

Abstract

EN 14532-2 defines supplementary test methods and pass/fail requirements applicable to welding consumables intended for steels, nickel and nickel alloys. It describes preparation of all-weld-metal and welded-joint test pieces, post-weld heat-treatment (PWHT) conditions, tensile, creep-rupture and embrittlement tests, overlay and moisture‑resistant system checks, and rules for retests, certification extensions and modifications of type qualification. The UNE version (UNE-EN 14532-2:2005) is the Spanish adoption of the EN text.

Scope

This standard applies to welding consumables for which supplementary qualification is required in addition to the primary qualification defined in EN 14532-1. It specifies which supplementary tests are applicable (all-weld-metal and welded-joint tests), how to prepare and treat test pieces (including PWHT procedures), the quantity of tests, and the pass/fail criteria for tensile, creep rupture and embrittlement testing, overlay welding assessment and moisture‑resistant system checks. Supplementary tests may be carried out at any time without repeating the primary tests.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of supplementary qualification and relation to primary qualification (EN 14532-1).
• All-weld-metal requirements: PWHT procedures, tensile test conditions and specimen preparation, elevated-temperature tensile and creep testing as applicable.
• Welded-joint testing: joint preparation, PWHT of welded joints, tensile and creep testing of representative welded assemblies.
• Embrittlement testing and criteria for materials sensitive to temper embrittlement or other degradation mechanisms.
• Overlay welding and moisture‑resistant system assessment where relevant to the consumable type.
• Rules for retests, extension, modification and prolongation of type qualification and conformity assessment processes.

Typical use and users

Primary users include manufacturers of welding consumables (filler metals and fluxes), independent testing laboratories, certification bodies, welding engineers and quality managers in fabricators and OEMs, and procurement/specification engineers who need to set or verify supplementary qualification requirements for critical applications (pressure equipment, power generation, chemical plants, heavy engineering). The standard is used to define the extra verification steps when material performance requirements go beyond the primary type tests.

Related standards

EN 14532-1 (primary qualification and general product standard for filler metals and fluxes) — Part 1 complements Part 2. Other related standards include EN 13479 (general product standard for filler metals and fluxes) and normative references cited within EN 14532-2 for specimen preparation and mechanical testing (e.g., EN 10002 series for tensile testing). Users should consult the normative references listed in the standard for full test-method linkages.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is the Part 2 document of EN 14532 specifying supplementary test methods and conformity-assessment criteria for welding consumables intended for steels, nickel and nickel alloys; the UNE-EN 14532-2:2005 entry is the Spanish (AENOR) adoption of the EN text.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers supplemental qualification tests (all-weld-metal and welded-joint tests), PWHT guidance, tensile and creep-rupture testing, embrittlement assessment, overlay and moisture-resistant system checks, and administrative rules for retesting and extending type qualifications.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers of welding consumables, test laboratories, certification bodies, welding engineers, quality managers and specifiers in industries where additional qualification beyond primary type tests is required (pressure equipment, power, petrochemical, heavy engineering).

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The EN text was approved in 2004 and national adoptions (including UNE-EN 14532-2:2005) were published in 2005. National information pages list the UNE edition as active and confirm the adoption; users should check the national standards body (AENOR) or CEN for the latest confirmation or any revision/replacement notices before relying on the text for procurement or certification.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 2 of EN 14532; Part 1 contains the primary qualification and general product provisions. The EN 14532 series and other welding‑consumable product standards work together to define primary and supplementary verification.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Welding consumables; supplementary tests; conformity assessment; filler metals; fluxes; post-weld heat treatment; tensile; creep; embrittlement; EN 14532; UNE-EN; AENOR; ICS 25.160.20.
