This practice provides a uniform procedure for radiographic examination of weldments using industrial radiographic film. Requirements expressed in this practice are intended to control the quality of the radiographic images and are not intended for controlling acceptability or quality of welds.
The radiographic extent, the quality level, and the acceptance criteria to be applied shall be specified in the contract, purchase order, product specification, or drawings.
The radiographic techniques stated herein provide adequate assurance for defect detectability; however, it is recognized that, for special applications, specific techniques using more or less stringent requirements may be required than those specified. In these cases, the use of alternative radiographic techniques shall be as agreed upon between purchaser and supplier (also see Section 4).
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. (For more specific safety precautionary information, see Section 9.)
This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

It includes statements about preferred practice withoutdiscussing the technical background which justifies the preference.A bibliography of several textbooks and standard documents of othersocieties is included for additional information on thesubject.
This guide covers types of materials to be examined;radiographic examination techniques and production methods;radiographic film selection, processing, viewing, and storage;maintenance of inspection records; and a list of availablereference radiograph documents.
NOTE 1—Further information is contained in Guide E999, PracticeE1025, Test Methods E1030, and E1032.
Interpretation and Acceptance Standards— Interpretationand acceptance standards are not covered by this guide, beyondlisting the available reference radiograph documents for castingsand welds. Designation of accept - reject standards is recognizedto be within the cognizance of product specifications and generallya matter of contractual agreement between producer andpurchaser.
Safety Practices—Problems of personnel protectionagainst X rays and gamma rays are not covered by this document. Forinformation on this important aspect of radiography, referenceshould be made to the current document of the National Committee onRadiation Protection and Measurement, Federal Register, U.S. EnergyResearch and Development Administration, National Bureau ofStandards, and to state and local regulations, if such exist. Forspecific radiation safety information refer to NIST Handbook ANSI43.3, 21 CFR 1020.40, and 29 CFR 1910.1096 or state regulations foragreement states.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safetyproblems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety andhealth practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use. (See 1.4.)
If an NDT agency is used, the agency shall be qualified inaccordance with Practice E543.
