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 6947 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes, Subcommittee
SC 7, Representation and terms.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 6947:1990), which has been technically
revised.
Requests for official interpretations of any aspect of this International Standard should be directed to the
Secretariat of ISO/TC 44/SC 7 via your national standards body. A complete listing of these bodies can be
found at www.iso.org.

Introduction
This International Standard provides positions for standard discrete test piece orientation PA, PB, H-L045, etc.
that have been specified in this International Standard since the first edition (ISO 6947:1980).
In this revision, positions are defined for production welding. These positions are flat, horizontal, vertical, and
overhead. Unlike testing positions, these positions are contiguous.
The direction of welding is an essential parameter for determining the welding position, e.g. up or down.
The welding position is not dependent on the geometrical arrangement of the joint, e.g. butt or fillet joint, or
that of the semi-finished product. Welds of all types and in all directions are covered.
The main positions have been given symbols which can easily be used for designation purposes; these
symbols were chosen independently of possible meaningful abbreviations, i.e. they are not derived from any
particular language.
The relationship between testing positions and production welding positions is specified elsewhere, e.g. in
[1] [2]
ISO 9606 or ISO 15614 .

Welding and allied processes — Welding positions
1 Scope
This International Standard defines welding positions for testing and production, for butt and fillet welds, in all
product forms.
Annex A gives examples of the limits of the slope of a weld axis and the rotation of the weld face about the
weld axis for welding positions in production welds.
Annex B provides a comparison of International, European and US designations.
