The welding of aluminium and its alloys

British and ISO standards related to welding and aluminium

Listed below are all of the European and ISO standards that are related to the properties, composition and product forms of aluminium and its alloys. The list also includes design codes, welding specifications, procedure and welder approval specifications, welding guides and health and safety speci­fications. The list is up to date at the time of writing - May 2002 - but it should not be regarded as a definitive up-to-date listing as specifications, in particular the EN and ISO standards, are being introduced on an on-going basis and the equivalent BS specifications withdrawn.
