10 Evaluation and acceptance criteria of test piece(s) and test specimens

10.1 General
The PWE shall evaluate the welding record sheet, the test piece, the test specimens and the results
produced by the test house. The evaluation of the test piece and the test specimens is divided into
two sections, visual and destructive.
Visual examination is described in 10.2.
Destructive tests are described in 10.3.
The following designation for the test evaluation applies:
— c: conform;

— nc: not conform.

The results and the evaluation shall be noted on the relevant evaluation sheet (e.g. in Annex B).
10.2 Visual examination
Visual evaluation applies to all stages of practical and destructive tests.
The visual examination shall be carried out in accordance with EN 13100-1 and any relevant
imperfections observed, as defined in EN 14728 (where applicable), shall be recorded.
10.3 Destructive tests
10.3.1 General

The PWE or invigilator, after confirming that the test pieces conform to the visual examination
carried out in accordance with 10.2, shall submit the test pieces to the test house for tests described
in Clause 9 and Table 1 or Table 2.
The test house should operate in compliance with EN ISO/IEC 17025.
Results produced (test record) and tested specimens shall be sent by the test house to the PWE for
verification.
Storage or disposal of the test piece or test specimens shall be as instructed by the PWE.
10.3.2 Bend test

The bend test shall be carried out in accordance with EN 12814-1, except for the number of
specimens tested and that the test specimen width shall be 20 mm in all cases.
Where Table 1 requires “B f+ r” half of the test specimens shall be tested as B f and half as B r.
The minimum requirements for each test specimen shall equal or exceed the values given in
EN 12814-8. If the criterion for failure used is that a maximum load is reached, then bend angles or
ram displacements below the minimum values shall be considered acceptable providing that they
are not less than the values achieved by test specimens cut from the parent sheet.
Should one test specimen fail to meet the required minimum bending angle, two additional test
specimens shall be taken, from the same test piece and re-tested under identical conditions. If the
bending angle thus obtained fails to give the required value, the test does not conform.
10.3.3 Peel test

The peel test shall be carried out in accordance with EN 12814-4 except for sub-groups 3.8 and
10.5 where the test shall be carried out in accordance with ISO 13955.

28
 BS EN 13067:2020
EN 13067:2020 (E)

The peel test method for each material and sub-group given in Tables 1 and 2 are shown in Table 5.
Table 5 — Peel test method
Group of material Sub-group Peel test method
PP 2.6 crush
2.7 crush
PE 3.6 crush
3.7 decohesion

ECB 8.1 to 8.4 T-peel
PP 9.1 to 9.5 T-peel
PA-U 10.3 crush
10.4 decohesion
10.5 crush

For the decohesion test, rupture in the brittle mode shall not exceed 33 % of the fusion zone length.
For the crush test, the length of fracture in the fusion plane shall not exceed 33 % of the fusion zone
length. For heated tool welds any resulting fracture shall not occur between the pipe and fitting.
For the T-peel test, all failures, except for an AD-WLD break (Figure 10), shall be in the parent
material.

10.3.4 Tensile test

The tensile test shall be carried out in accordance with EN 12814-2 except for the number of test
specimens.
For group 5 materials, type 2 test specimens shall be used.
For PE pipes covering sub-groups 3.4 and 3.5 in Table 1, test specimens conforming to
EN 12814-2:2000, Annex B shall be used. For wall thicknesses greater than 30 mm, the test
specimens shall be cut into two or more layers such that the thickness of one or more layers is in
the range 20 to 30 mm and each specimen that has a thickness in the range 20 to 30 mm shall be
tested. The specimens to be tested shall include either the outside or inside of the joint.
Depending on the test specimen used, the purpose of the tensile test is slightly different. For test
specimens conforming to EN 12814-2:2000, Annex B, rupture in the brittle mode (as shown in
ISO 13953 [3] ) of any of the test specimens does not conform.
For test specimens conforming to a type 2 geometry the purpose of the test is to determine the
short-term tensile welding factor, fs . The short-term tensile welding factor shall be determined
based on:
— five welded and three unwelded reference test specimens for sub-group 5.1;

— four welded and four unwelded reference test specimens for sub-group 5.2 in the same
location.

The values for the short-term tensile welding factor fs are given in Table 6.
For multiple destructive evaluation, where the source, grade and direction of extrusion of the
parent material is exactly the same as the welded test specimen, then at the discretion of the PWE
there shall be no need for the reference tests to be repeated.

30
 BS EN 13067:2020
EN 13067:2020 (E)

Should one test specimen fail to meet the required short-term tensile welding factor fs , two
additional test specimens shall be taken, from the same test piece and re-tested under identical
conditions. If the short-term tensile welding factor fs thus obtained fails to give the required value,
the test does not conform.
Table 6 — Short-term tensile welding factor fs to be obtained
Group of material Group of material Welding factor fs
ECTFE 5.1 ≥ 0,8
or FEP 5.2 ≥ 0,8
or PFA

The crosshead speed for tensile testing materials should preferably be 50 mm/min.

10.3.5 Visual examination of longitudinal cross-sections

In case of sub-groups 1.4 and 1.5 the test pieces shall be cut longitudinally into quarters and each
of the four test specimens shall be visually examined and any imperfections observed shall be
recorded, in particular any non-uniformity of the gap between the pipe and socket and excessive
weld material. After not less than 24 hours after sectioning the test specimens shall be heated in an
oven using the conditions given in Table 7. After heating the pipe and socket shall be separated
manually minimizing the shearing between the two parts and the inside of the socket shall be
visually examined.
At least 70 % of the socket surface shall have a whitened rough texture, which indicates that the
area was welded. In addition, any unbonded area shall have a longitudinal length not greater than
50 % of the socket length.

5 < en ≤ 12 115 ± 5 140 20 to 25 25 to 30
en > 12 > 40 > 40

10.4 Non-destructive tests — High voltage test

In the case of sub-group 6.5 the test piece as shown in Figure 9 shall be subjected to a high voltage
test, as described in EN 13100-4. No faults shall be detected.

11 Test result
11.1 Overall assessment
For the overall assessment the results of the practical and theoretical parts of the test are collected
together. Both parts shall conform and the qualification test is passed.

31
BS EN 13067:2020
EN 13067:2020 (E)

11.2 Practical test

The candidate is considered to conform to the practical test if the requirements of each of the
evaluation sections (see Clause 8 and Clause 10 as appropriate) are fulfilled.
11.3 Theoretical test
A minimum percentage of 80 % of correct answers given are required to award an acceptable result
in the theoretical test defined in 5.3.

12 Failed test
The candidate shall undergo further education and training at a training centre prior to taking a
new qualification test.

13 Period of validity
13.1 Initial qualification
The validity of the welder's qualification begins from the date of the last qualification test (practical
or theoretical) that was passed.
A welder's qualification shall remain valid for a period of two years providing the following
conditions are fulfilled:
a) the welder shall be engaged with reasonable continuity on welding work within the range of
qualification corresponding to the qualification. An interruption period longer than six months
is not permitted;

b) there shall be no specific reason to question the welder's skill and knowledge;

c) annually the manufacturer shall establish that the welder's quality is in accordance with the
technical conditions under which the qualification is awarded.

Any factor not in accordance with the conditions stated in a), b) and c), the qualification shall be
cancelled.
13.2 Prolongation
Prolongation is only allowed when the qualification body is advised before expiry of the period of
initial qualification.
Prolongation is only allowed when proof of welding quality is available to the qualification body
who accept this is the case. The validity within the range of qualification is extended under the
original qualification for a further two years provided the conditions according to 13.1 are fulfilled.
When this prolongation expires a new qualification test is required.

14 Qualification renewal
A qualification test taken within three months before the expiry date of the qualification shall
commence from that date of expiry.
