AWS D1.1 VS EN 729
AWS D1.1 VS EN 729
(OP)
Our company has an equipment supplier based in Germany whose designs and processes conform to EN 729. Our equipment must comply with the requirements of AWS D1.1. Can anyone let me know if there are substantial differences between these two standards? I am looking for a quick and easily accessed reference if possible.





RE: AWS D1.1 VS EN 729
I believe the EN 729 is similar to the Directive for Pressure Vessels or the Directive for Machinery. I found this web site that might be of help to you and has information on the welding process/control aspects of EN 729 issued by the European Federation for Welding, Joining and Cutting.
