Covers load-bearing joints between reinforcing bars and other steel components like insert anchors or connection devices.

EN ISO 17660-1:2021 is a part of the ISO 17660 series, which focuses on resistance welding of aluminium and aluminium alloys. The standard was published in 2021 and replaces the previous version, EN ISO 17660-1:2016. The updated version includes new requirements, test methods, and acceptance criteria for welded joints.

The standard dictates strict inspection regimes, including visual inspection of all welds and non-destructive testing (NDT) to ensure the absence of cracks, excessive porosity, or lack of fusion. EN ISO 17660-1 vs. EN ISO 17660-2 It is crucial not to confuse Part 1 with Part 2:

To design reinforcement layouts and specify the correct welding details on blueprints.

Specifies strict criteria for materials, design, execution, personnel qualifications (welding coordinators), and testing. Solid Resources and PDF Previews

EN ISO 17660-1:2006 is an essential standard governing load-bearing welded joints in reinforcing steel, ensuring safety and reliability in concrete construction. It is currently under revision, with a new draft expected soon. For any professional involved in this field, obtaining the official PDF through authorized vendors is a necessary and critical step to ensure compliance and best practice.

Prices typically range from (approx. $85–$160 USD) for a single-user PDF. Many national bodies offer a “read-only” online version for a lower fee.

: Applies to bar diameters typically ranging from 6 mm to 50 mm. 2. Types of Welded Joints Covered

Bars intersecting at angles, often used in cages.

Penetrant Testing (PT) or Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) may be requested depending on the project specification. Destructive Testing (DT)

Welders and welding coordinators must possess specific skills and job knowledge, often requiring certification under ISO 9606-1 Quality Management: The standard references ISO 3834-3
