Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www​.iso​.org/directives).

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www​.iso​.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the

Any feedback, question or request for official interpretation related to any aspect of this document
should be directed to the Secretariat of ISO/TC 44/SC 11 via your national standards body. A complete

exist, are available from this page: https:​//committee​.iso​.org/sites/tc44/home/interpretation​.html.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 14731:2006), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— informative reference to IIW has been removed due to anticompetition rules;
— Annex A now addresses the assessment of welding coordination personnel;
— the term responsible welding coordinator, RWC, has been deleted;
— the concept of competence and levels (see Clause 6) has been introduced;
— new subclause B.20 has been added to address Health and Safety and Environment.

Introduction
Validation and verification of welding requires competent personnel to perform welding coordination
to establish confidence in weld quality and to ensure reliable performance in service.
The tasks and responsibilities of welding coordination personnel involved in welding-related activities
(e.g. planning, executing, supervising and inspection) need to be clearly defined.

Welding coordination — Tasks and responsibilities

1 Scope
This document identifies the essential welding quality related tasks and responsibilities included in
welding coordination.
The principle of an assessment according to this document is that welding coordination personnel need
to be competent in the welding-related tasks allocated to them.
It is presumed that welding coordination personnel have the necessary education, qualifications and
experience and are appointed by the manufacturer.

Regulatory documents, application standards and contracts can give specific requirements for welding
coordination personnel. Otherwise, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to determine the
requirements to be in compliance with this document.
