National foreword
This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Engineering
Sector Board and is the English language version of EN 288 Specification and
approval of welding procedures for metallic materials — Part 5: Approval by using
approved welding consumables for arc welding, published by the European
Committee for Standardization (CEN).
EN 288-5 was produced as a result of international discussions in which the
United Kingdom took an active part.
There has previously been no direct British Standard equivalent to this standard.
It is assumed that the execution of the provisions of this document is entrusted to
suitably qualified and experienced persons.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
Summary of pages
This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii,
the EN title page, pages 2 to 6, an inside back cover and a back cover.
This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had
amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on
the inside front cover.
