National foreword

This British Standard is the UK implementation of EN ISO 13585:2012. It supersedes BS EN 13133:2000 which is withdrawn.

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee WEE/19, Brazing and braze welding.

A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary.

The UK, as a member of CEN, is obliged to publish BS EN ISO 13585 as a British Standard. However, attention is drawn to the fact that during the development of this European Standard, the UK consistently voted against the draft due to the definition of a Brazing Operator that appears in Clause 3.2.

The UK committee responsible is of the opinion that the standard should be restricted to only manual brazing procedures and therefore regard the definition of brazing operator as unnecessary.

This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.

Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from Compliance legal obligations. with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from legal obligations.

Introduction

The purpose of this International Standard is to provide a general set of rules for qualification, independent of product or application.

This European Standard was approved by CEN on 24 May 2012.

CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.
