NF EN ISO 17663, A89-272 (05/2023)

This document specifies quality requirements relating to heat treatment in the open air or in controlled atmospheres, applied in the workshop or on site in welding and forming. This treatment primarily applies to ferritic steels, but can be used for other materials where appropriate. This document provides guidance to builders and manufacturers who perform heat treatment or who manufacture heat-treated products or parts. This document may also serve as a basis for assessing the competence of a builder or manufacturer in the field of heat treatment. Fulfillment of a requirement may be waived if justification can be provided that a specific requirement does not apply to a specific processing. This document is intended to be a flexible framework for the control of heat treatments to provide: — specific requirements for heat treatment applied within specifications requiring the builder or manufacturer to use a quality system according to ISO 9001, — specific requirements for heat treatment applied within specifications requiring the builder or manufacturer to use a quality system other than those described in ISO 9001, — guidelines for a builder or manufacturer developing a quality system for the treatment thermal, — specific guidelines relating to heat treatment after welding for constructors or manufacturers adopting ISO 3834-2 or ISO 3834-3, — detailed requirements for product specifications, regulations or standards which require control of heat treatment activities.
