This European Standard specifies ultrasonic acceptance levels, 2 and 3, for full penetration
welded joints in ferritic steels, which correspond to quality levels B and C of EN 25817. Other
acceptance levels can be used by specification.
An acceptance level corresponding to level D of EN 25817 has not been included in this standard
as ultrasonic testing is not recommended for this weld quality.
These acceptance levels are applicable to testing carried out in accordance with the standards
referred to in EN 12062. They can, however, be applied in conjunction with other rules, where the
same types of reference reflectors for sensitivity setting are used, provided it is agreed between
the contracting parties.
The standard is applicable to the testing of full penetration ferritic steel welds, with thicknesses
from 8 mm up to 100 mm. It can also be used for other types of welds, materials and thicknesses
above 100 mm, provided the testings have been performed with necessary consideration of the
geometry and acoustical properties of the component and an adequate sensitivity can be
employed to enable the acceptance levels of this standard to be applied. The nominal frequency
of probes used in this European Standard is between 2 MHz and 5 MHz unless attenuation or
requirements for higher resolution call for another frequency. The use of these acceptance levels
in conjunction with frequencies outside this range needs to be considered carefully.
The acceptance levels shall be related to the testing techniques (testing levels) as defined in
EN 1714. Acceptance level 2 will normally require at least testing level B, and for acceptance
level 3 at least testing level A. Any other relationship between acceptance levels and testing
levels shall be defined by specification.

For welds subject to fatigue loading, near surface acceptance levels may be defined in a
specification.
