CEN/TC 121/SC 3 - Welding consumables

CEN/TC 121/SC 3 is a Subcommittee within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). It is named "Welding consumables" and is responsible for: Specifications for consumables for fusion welding e.g. welding with covered electrodes, submerged arc welding and gas shielded arc welding of carbon and carbon manganese steels, low alloy steels, high tensile steels, creep resisting steels, stainless steels and non-ferrous metals. Technical requirements for inspection and delivery. Testing of consumables. Fluxes. Gases for welding and cutting. Procedures for testing for certification and authorization (approval) of consumables. This committee has published 0 standards.

CEN/TC 121/SC 3 develops CEN standards. The scope of work includes: Specifications for consumables for fusion welding e.g. welding with covered electrodes, submerged arc welding and gas shielded arc welding of carbon and carbon manganese steels, low alloy steels, high tensile steels, creep resisting steels, stainless steels and non-ferrous metals. Technical requirements for inspection and delivery. Testing of consumables. Fluxes. Gases for welding and cutting. Procedures for testing for certification and authorization (approval) of consumables. Currently, there are 0 published standards from this subcommittee.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.

A Subcommittee (SC) in CEN operates under a Technical Committee and focuses on a specific subset of the TC's scope. Subcommittees develop standards and technical specifications in their specialized area, reporting to their parent Technical Committee. They may also have working groups for detailed technical work.
