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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 5817 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee

ISO 5817:2003(E)
Introduction
This International Standard should be used as a reference in the drafting of application codes and/or other
application standards. It contains a simplified selection of fusion weld imperfections based on the designations
given in ISO 6520-1.
Some of the imperfections described in ISO 6520-1 have been used directly and some have been grouped
together. The basic numerical referencing system from ISO 6520-1 has been used.
The purpose of this International Standard is to define dimensions of typical imperfections which might be
expected in normal fabrication. It may be used within a quality system for the production of factory-welded
joints. It provides three sets of dimensional values from which a selection can be made for a particular
application. The quality level necessary in each case should be defined by the application standard or the
responsible designer in conjunction with the manufacturer, user and/or other parties concerned. The level
shall be prescribed before the start of production, preferably at the enquiry or order stage. For special
purposes, additional details may be prescribed.
The quality levels given in this International Standard provide basic reference data and are not specifically
related to any particular application. They refer to the types of welded joint in a fabricated structure and not to
the complete product or component itself. It is possible, therefore, that different quality levels be applied to
individual welded joints in the same product or component.
It would normally be expected that for a particular welded joint the dimensional limits for imperfections could
all be covered by specifying one quality level. In some cases, it may be necessary to specify different quality
levels for different imperfections in the same welded joint.
The choice of quality level for any application should take account of design considerations, subsequent
processing (e.g. surfacing), mode of stressing (e.g. static, dynamic), service conditions (e.g. temperature,
environment) and consequences of failure. Economic factors are also important and should include not only
the cost of welding but also of inspection, test and repair.
Although this International Standard includes types of imperfection relevant to the fusion welding processes
listed in Clause 1, only those which are applicable to the process and application in question need to be
considered.
Imperfections are quoted in terms of their actual dimensions, and their detection and evaluation may require
the use of one or more methods of non-destructive testing. The detection and sizing of imperfections is
dependent on the inspection methods and the extent of testing specified in the application standard or
contract.
The need for detecting imperfections is not subject of this International Standard. However, ISO 17635
contains a correlation between the quality level and acceptance level for different NDT methods.
This International Standard is directly applicable to visual testing of welds and does not include details of
recommended methods of detection or sizing by non-destructive means. It should be considered that there
are difficulties in using these limits to establish appropriate criteria applicable to non-destructive testing
methods such as ultrasonic, radiographic, eddy current, penetrate, magnetic particle testing and may need to
be supplemented by requirements for inspection, examining and testing.
The values for imperfections take into consideration normal welding practice. Higher specifications require
additional manufacturing processes, e.g. grinding or welding under stringent laboratory conditions or special
welding processes.
Requests for official interpretations of any aspect of this International Standard should be directed to the
Secretariat of ISO/TC 44/SC 10 via your national standards body. For a complete listing consult www.iso.org.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 5817:2003(E)
Welding — Fusion-welded joints in steel, nickel, titanium and their

alloys (beam welding excluded) — Quality levels for imperfections
1 Scope
This International Standard provides quality levels of imperfections in fusion-welded joints (except for beam
welding) in all types of steel, nickel, titanium and their alloys. It applies to material thickness above 0,5 mm.
Quality levels for beam welded joints in steel are presented in ISO 13919-1.
Three quality levels are given in order to permit application to a wide range of welded fabrication. They are
designated by symbols B, C and D. Quality level B corresponds to the highest requirement on the finished weld.
The quality levels refer to production quality and not to the fitness-for-purpose (see 3.2) of the product
manufactured.
This International Standard applies to:
 unalloyed and alloy steels;
 nickel and nickel alloys;
 titanium and titanium alloys;
 manual, mechanized and automatic welding;
 all welding positions;
 all types of welds, e.g. butt welds, fillet welds and branch connections;
 the following welding processes and their defined sub-processes in accordance with ISO 4063:
 11 metal-arc welding without gas protection;
 12 submerged-arc welding;
 13 gas-shielded metal-arc welding;
 14 gas-shielded welding with non-consumable electrodes;
 15 plasma arc welding;
 31 oxy-fuel gas welding (for steel only).
Metallurgical aspects, e.g. grain size, hardness, are not covered by this International Standard.

5 Assessment of imperfections
Limits for imperfections are given in Table 1. These limits apply to the finished weld and may also be applied to an
intermediate stage of fabrication.
If, for the detection of imperfections, a method other than macro examination is used, only those imperfections shall
be considered which can be detected using a magnification equal to or less than tenfold.
Excluded herefrom are cold laps (see Table 1, 1.5) and microcracks (see Table 1, 2.2).
Systematic imperfections are only permitted in quality level D, provided other requirements of Table 1 are fulfilled.
A welded joint shall normally be assessed separately for each individual type of imperfection.
Different types of imperfection, occurring at any cross-section of the joint, which weaken the cross section may
need special consideration (see multiple imperfections).
The limits for multiple imperfections (see Table 1) are only applicable for cases where the requirements for a single
imperfection are not exceeded.
Any two adjacent imperfections separated by a distance smaller than the major dimension of the smaller
imperfection shall be considered as a single imperfection.

Additional information and guidelines for use

of this International Standard
This International Standard specifies requirements for three quality levels for imperfections in welded joints of
steel, nickel, titanium and their alloys for fusion welding processes (beam welding excluded) for weld
thickness W 0,5 mm. It may be used, where applicable, for other fusion welding processes or weld thicknesses.
Different components are very often produced for different applications, but to similar requirements. The same
requirements should, however, apply to identical components produced in different workshops to ensure that
work is carried out using the same criteria. The consistent application of this international Standard is one of
the fundamental cornerstones of a quality management system for use in the production of welded structures.
The summary of multiple imperfections shows a theoretical possibility of superimposed individual

imperfections. In such a case, the total summation of all permitted deviations shall be restricted by the
stipulated values for the different imperfections, i.e., the limit value of a single imperfection u h, e.g., for a
single pore, shall not be exceeded.
This International Standard may be used in conjunction with a catalogue of realistic illustrations showing the
size of the permissible imperfections for the various quality levels, by means of photographs showing the face
and root side and/or reproductions of radiographs and of photomacrographs showing the cross-section of the
weld. An example of such a catalogue is given with “Reference radiographs for the assessment of weld
imperfections in accordance with ISO 5817”, published by International Institute of Welding (IIW) and
Deutscher Verlag für Schweißen und verwandte Verfahren, Düsseldorf. This catalogue may be used with
reference cards to assess the various imperfections and may also be used when opinions differ as to the
permissible size of imperfections.
