Mr Jérôme Dietsch (France) started his career in 2005 as an Information Manager for Institut de Soudure Groupe – the French Welding Institute. While his academic background did not destin him specifically to the field of welding, his curiosity and commitment in his work allowed him to acquire by experience a very large and consistent overview of most aspects of welding technologies.
This year, ISO/TC 44 met on 2018/09/13 in Berlin. Mrs Cyrielle Fournier and Mr Patrick Verrier express their gratitude to DIN, and especially Mr Rudiger Beck, for welcoming the TC.
During the meeting,...
The dates of 2018 ISO/TC 44 Plenary meeting are now available. The meetings will take place from the 10th to the 14th of September, in Berlin.
Congratulations to Mr César JUBERT (France), who has been appointed as the new Chair of ISO/TC 44/SC 8 "Equipment for gas welding, cutting and allied processes". His mandate will start on 2018-01-01, for a period of 6 years.
ISO/TC 44 members thank Prof. Kurt ZIEGLER for his involvement for the Chairmanship of SC 8.
ISO/TC 135/SC 7 "Personnel qualification", in charge of ISO 9712, met on 2017/11/16 and 17, in Singapore, to discuss the revision of the standard. The document was submitted to a systematic review from April to September 2017 and about 400 comments have been received.

Congratulations to Mrs Olena TRUNOVA (Germany), who has been appointed as the next Chair of ISO/TC 44/SC 3 "Welding consumables". Her mandate will start on 2018-01-01, for a period of 6 years.
ISO/TC 44 members thank Mrs Beate RICKES for her contribution and involvment for the Chairmanship of SC 3.
ISO/TC 44/SC 8 “Equipment for gas welding, cutting and allied processes” met on 2017-10-26 to -27 at ANIMA in Milan, Italy. Experts from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Switzerland and United Kingdom participated in the meeting. Liaison reports were given from ISO/TC 45/SC 1 “Rubber and plastics hoses” and from ISO/TC 58/SC 2 “Gas cylinder valves”. The Systematic Reviews were discussed. Apparently a couple of International standards are hardly used in Europe because European standards on the same topics exist. Their scopes shall be compared in order to check if a future revision may lead to EN ISO standards.

Next meeting: week of February 26, 2018 (in conjunction with ISO/TC 44/SC 10 Quality management in the field of welding )
Venue: AWS, Miami
The main items to be discussed are the proposed revision of ISO 9606-1:2012, Qualification testing of welders - Fusion welding - Part 1: Steels, which is a key standard for the welding industry. This standard is published as EN ISO 9606-1 and is adopted for work under PED in the EU and thus any revisions could have an impact. A number of official interpretations on ISO 9606-1 have been published. These are available to help end users better understand ISO 9606-1 as well as to provide feedback to ISO/TC 44/SC 11 for revisions and updates to the standard.

Congratulations to Mr Walter SPERKO (USA), who has been appointed as the next Chair of ISO/TC 44/SC 11 "Qualification requirements for welding and allied processes personnel". His chairmanship will start on 2018-01-01, for a period of 6 years.
ISO/TC 44 members thank Mr Andrew SPENCE for his contribution for the Chairmanship of SC 11.
The International Institute of Welding (IIW) has been recognized by ISO as an International Standardizing Body authorized to develop standards for adoption by ISO.
The next meeting of the working group on standardization will take place on January 17th, 2018 at Institut de Soudure in Paris where the current status of a number of ISO projects under the responsibility (click on this link for IIW Standards Catalogue) will be discussed.
If you are interested in becoming active in IIW, please contact the IIW Secretariat (www.iiwelding.org).
Next meeting: January 15 and 16, 2018
Venue: Institut de Soudure, Paris
Amongst others, ISO/TC 44/SC 3 will discuss the latest draft of ISO/WD 14344, Welding consumables — Procurement of filler materials and fluxes, where there has been confusion concerning use outside of N. America [...]

ISO/TC 44/SC 14 met on 2017/10/18 and 19, in Denver. During the meeting, SC 14 have approved a reorganization of the SC by:
- disbanding ISO/TC 44/SC 14/WG 1 "Additive manufacturing in aerospace"
- creating a Joint Working Group with ISO/TC 261 "Additive manufacturing": ISO/TC 261/JWG 5 "Joint ISO/TC 261 - ISO/TC 44/SC 14 WG, Additive manufacturing in aerospace applications"
As this new Joint Working Group gathers all the competences, this ensures a better technical consensus on projects and avoid any duplication of standards.
As a result of the 5 year systematic review of ISO 9606-1, ISO/TC 44/SC 11 "Qualification requirements for welding and allied processes personnel" have decided to revise the standard. As part of the revision, the committee will consider merging Parts 1: "Steels" and 4: "Nickel and nickel alloys" of the standard.
A preliminary work item (PWI) has been registered and a draft is expected before the next meeting of SC 11 that is scheduled in conjunction with SC 10 "Quality management in the field of welding" and WG meetings the week of February 26 to March 2, 2018 at AWS in Miami.
