On April 1, 2024, newly updated versions of the GB Standard<\/a><\/strong> GB\/T15579 came into effect that affect arc welding machines. The new standards are GB\/T15579.5-2023 “Arc welding equipment – Part 5: Wire feeder” and GB\/T15579.7-2023 “Arc welding equipment – Part 7: Welding torches (welding guns)”. These replace their previous versions with the year ending “-2013”.
Products in these categories can be CQC-certified<\/a><\/strong> to demonstrate compliance with Chinese product safety and quality regulations. For many products, this is mandatory in order to be approved for import and distribution on the Chinese market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most significant changes in the updates are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GB\/T15579.5-2023:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

a) The following scope of the standard has been deleted: “This part does not apply to wire feeders for use by non-specialists in IEC 60974-6” (Chapter 1 of the 2013 edition).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b) Deletion of terms and definitions such as extrusion area, welding wire, etc. (see Chapter 3 of the 2013 edition).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

c) Requirements for pressure gauges have been added and accuracy requirements for electrical gauges have been changed (see 5.2, 5.2 of the 2013 edition).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

d) The IEC 60529 test methods and conditions for enclosure protection have been added to the conformity test requirements for enclosure drainage (see 6.2.1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

e) Protection against electric shock: increased requirements for the contact current of the welding circuit and the contact current under general conditions (see Chapter 6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

f) Addition of non-routine operating requirements (see Chapter 10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This document complies with IEC 60974-5:2019 “Arc welding equipment \u2013 Part 5: Wire feeder equipment”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GB\/T15579.7-2023:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

a) “Scope” additions and clarifications (see Chapter 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(b) Addition of two new items and deletion of one item on “Terms and definitions” (see Chapter 3, Chapter 3 of the 2013 edition).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

c) Deletion of one point regarding ambient air temperature range and change of one point regarding relative humidity (see Chapter 4, Chapter 4 of the 2013 edition).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

d) Modification of the requirements for ambient temperature and accuracy of testing for electrical measuring instruments (see 6.1, 6.1 in the 2013 edition).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(e) Increase of the nominal voltage requirements for mechanically guided torches (guns) and burner coupling devices (see 7.1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

f) The requirements for arc strike and arc stabilization voltage have been deleted (see 7.3 in the 2013 edition).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

g) Additional requirements for plasma torches (see 7.3.2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

h) Increased requirements for arc impact and arc stabilization voltages (see 7.5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i) Addition of regulations for mechanically guided burners (guns) and smoke extraction burners (guns) (see 8.1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(j) Torches (pliers) for submerged arc welding have been added (see 8.3.5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

k) Exclusion of “weld-proof spatter” has been added (see Chapter 10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

l) Addition of requirements for the handle material under “mechanical protection” (see 11.3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

m) Requirements for smoke extraction burners (guns) have been added to the “Instruction manual” (see Chapter 13).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This document complies with IEC 60974-7:2019 Arc welding equipment \u2013 Part 7: Welding torches (pliers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both documents are under the control of the National Technical Committee for the Standardization of Electrofusion Machines (SAC\/TC70).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
