Unless otherwise specified for specific points in this standard, the general principles of EN 100021 shall apply, 2 Normative references ‘This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated references, provisions from other publications. Thase normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter, For dated zeferences, 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.

For small diameter pipes, the test may be carried out ‘on whole pipe (see figure 9). If not specified by the application standard or agreed between the contracting parties, ‘small diameters’ means D< 18mm. 5.2 Marking ach test piece shall be marked to identify its ‘exact location in the manufartured product or in the joint from which it has been removed. If required by the relevant application standard, the direction of working (e.g. rolling or extrusion) shall be marked, Each test specimen shall be marked to identify its ‘exact location in the test plece from whieh it has been removed. When removed from the test piece, each test specimen shall be marked. 6.3 Heat trestment and/or ageing ‘No heat treatment shall be applied to the welded Joint or to the test unless it is specified or allowed by the relevant application standart ‘dealing with the welded joint to be tested.

If thermal cutting or other cutting methods which could affect the cut surfaces are ‘used to cut the test specimen from the welded plate, or from the test piece, the cuts shall be made at a distance greater than ar equal to 8 mm. from the surfaces of the final parallel length of the ‘est specimen.

When a relevant application standard requires testing of the full thickness greater than 30 mm, several test ‘specimens may be taken to cover the full thickness of the joint (see figure 1b).
