1 Scope
This standard specifies mainly the method to be
used when describing test specimen location and
notch orientation for the testing and reporting of
impact tests on welded butt joints.
This standard applies to impact tests on metallic
materials in all forms of product made by any
fusion welding process.
It is used in addition to EN 10045-1and includes
test specimen denomination and additional
reporting requirements.

2 Normative reference
This European Standard incorporates by dated or
undated reference, provisions from other
publications. These normative references are cited
at the appropriate places in the text and the
publications are listed hereafter. For dated
references, subsequent amendments to or revisions
of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by
amendment or revision. For undated references the
latest edition of the publication referred to applies.

W : notch in the weld metal ;

the reference line is the centre
line of the weld at the position
of the test specimen,
H : notch in the heat affected
zone; the reference line is the
fusion or the joint line (notch
wii include HAZ);
S : notched face parallel to the
surface11,
T : notch through the
thickness;
a : the distance of the centre
of the notch from the
reference line (if a is at the
centre line of the weld, a = O
which should be recorded);
b : the distance from the weld
joint face side2)to the nearer
face of the test specimen (if b
is at the surface of the weld,
b = O Which Should be
recorded).
4.3 Additionai information

In cases where this simple denomination does not
sufficiently define the location or notch
orientation, a sketch referring to the weld
procedure should be provided.
Impact testing shall be in accordance with

5 Examples of denomination
EN 10045-1. The test temperature, location, type

shall be in accordance with the relevant application
standard.
In addition to the requirements of EN 10045-1, the 6 Examination
notch position may be located by macroetching.
The test specimens designated by this standard
shall be tested in accordance with EN 10045-1.
4 Method of denomination
--`,,,`,`,`,,```,,`````,`,,```-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
4.1 Lettering system

The denomination is based on a lettering system to
describe the type, location and notch orientation
and a numbering system to show the distance (in
millimetres) of the notch from reference lines (RL).
The method of denomination is shown in tables 1
and 2. The test specimen shall be taken from the
welded joint such that its longitudinal axis is at
right angles to the weld length.
4.2 Characters
The denomination comprises the following
characters :
1st character
U : Charpy U notch,
V : Charpy V notch;
7 Wst report
The test report shall include the following
information in addition to that given in
EN 10045-1 :
- reference to this standard;
- test specimen denomination;
- sketch if required;
- type and dimensions of imperfections observed;
- other information as required by the
application standard and/or by agreement
between the contracting parties.
An example of a typical test report is given in
annex A.
1) This orientation is
equivalent to the denomination surface notch used in fracture mechanics testing.

the case of double V, K or similar welds, the face side is the side which contains the larger width of the weld or from which
the welding energy was first applied.
