This document specifies requirements for the specification and qualification of brazing procedures for brazing of metallic materials.

This document specifies requirements for brazing of the test piece, testing of the test specimen, essential variables and their range of qualification, acceptance criteria, brazing procedure qualification record (BPQR) and brazing procedure specification (BPS).

This document gives general provisions on quality requirements for brazing (see Annex A).

This document does not cover testing of residual stresses, corrosion resistance and impact properties.

This document applies to the following brazing processes according to ISO 857-2 and ISO 4063:2009 with local and global heating:
