National foreword
This British Standard is the English language version of EN 1600 : 1997. It
supersedes BS 2926 : 1984, which is withdrawn.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee
WEE/39, Welding consumables, which has the responsibility to:

± aid enquirers to understand the text;


± present to the responsible European committee any enquiries on the
interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed;
± monitor related international and European developments and promulgate
them in the UK.

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


its secretary.

may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any CEN member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German).
A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a
CEN member into its own language and notified to the Central Secretariat has the
same status as the official versions.

7)
The all-weld metal is in most cases fully austenitic and therefore can be susceptable to microfissuring and solidification cracks. The occurrence of cracking is reduced by increasing the
weld metal manganese level and in recognition of this the manganese range is extended for a number of the grades.
8) Electrodes under this symbol are usually selected for specific properties and may not be directly interchangeable.
