NF EN ISO/ASTM 52926-2, E67-026-2 (11/2023)

This document identifies the capabilities and responsibilities required for the qualification of AM operators in the area of additive manufacturing technologies dealing with the production of metal parts, specifically for the employment of powder bed fusion – laser beam on metals (PBF-LB/M, powder bed fusion - laser beam with metals). This document identifies the criteria for the theoretical and practical evaluation of personnel using PBF-LB/M machines. The activities and procedures planned to be carried out by the PBF-LB/M operator are also part of this document. This document is intended to provide an overview for the qualification of AM machine operators in general industrial applications. Where specific industry requirements exist for the qualification of AM operators, such as ISO/ASTM 52942 for aerospace applications, those specific industry standards are used in lieu of this document.
