A (informative) Examples of examination equipment

This European Standard covers the visual examination of fusion welds in metallic materials. The examination is normally performed on welds in the as-welded condition but exceptionnally, for example when required by an application standard or by agreement between the contracting parties, the examination may be carried out at other stages during the welding process.
