According to BS EN ISO 17637 , inspection should occur throughout the fabrication process:
While searching for the , it is critical to note that the BS EN 970:1997 standard was officially withdrawn and superseded on March 31, 2011. It has been fully replaced by the international standard BS EN ISO 17637 , which is the current benchmark for the visual testing of fusion-welded joints. Core Requirements for Visual Inspection
: The minimum surface illuminance must be 350 lx , although 500 lx is strongly recommended for better detail.
Whether following the legacy BS EN 970 or the current BS EN ISO 17637, effective visual inspection relies on three primary environmental factors:
: The angle of examination must not be less than approximately 30° to the surface. Three Stages of Inspection
: The inspector’s eyes should be within 600 mm (24 inches) of the surface being examined.
