Overview
kSIST FprEN ISO 17779:2026 - Brazing: Specification and Qualification of Brazing Procedures for Metallic Materials is a comprehensive international standard that establishes requirements for the development, verification, and documentation of brazing procedures for metallic materials. Developed by SIST in alignment with ISO/PRF 17779:2026, this standard streamlines the specification and qualification of brazing methods across various industries, ensuring repeatability, safety, and quality in production settings.
The standard applies to a wide range of brazing processes, as defined in ISO 857-2 and ISO 4063, including but not limited to infrared brazing, flame brazing, laser and electron beam brazing, induction and resistance brazing, as well as advanced methods such as vacuum and arc weld brazing. kSIST FprEN ISO 17779:2026 does not cover testing of residual stresses, corrosion resistance, or impact properties.
Key Topics
- Brazing Procedure Specification (BPS): Outlines the documentation required to standardize brazing variables ensuring process control and repeatability.
- Preliminary Brazing Procedure Specification (pBPS): Initial document capturing proposed process variables before qualification.
- Testing & Qualification: Specifies requirements for preparing test pieces, performing both destructive and non-destructive testing, and defining acceptance criteria.
- Essential Variables: Covers crucial process variables such as type of brazing, product type, joint configuration, parent materials, filler metals, flux types, and heat treatment procedures.
- Brazing Procedure Qualification Record (BPQR): Mandates a verified record of process qualification, test results, and process parameters.
- Quality Requirements (see Annex A): Provides detailed guidance on ensuring quality throughout the brazing process, including contract requirements, documentation, testing, and acceptance criteria.
Applications
kSIST FprEN ISO 17779:2026 is highly relevant for industries and organizations engaged in metallic material fabrication and the implementation of brazing processes, such as:
- Manufacturing and Construction: Ensures qualified, repeatable brazing procedures in fabrication of pipes, plates, and structural components.
- Automotive and Mechanical Engineering: Supports the production of robust, high-quality brazed assemblies for vehicles and machinery.
- Electronics and Electrical Engineering: Facilitates precision joining of metallic components through processes like resistance or induction brazing.
- General Metalworking: Applicable to any production site or workshop undertaking brazing, promoting process reliability and compliance with international standards.
The standard helps manufacturers, engineers, and quality managers demonstrate technical competence, reduce risks, and satisfy regulatory or contractual obligations related to the specification and qualification of brazing procedures.
Related Standards
Implementation of kSIST FprEN ISO 17779:2026 should be considered alongside the following key national and international standards:
- ISO 857-2: Welding and allied processes - Vocabulary for soldering and brazing.
- ISO 4063: Nomenclature of welding, brazing, soldering, and cutting processes.

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.

Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide a general set of rules for brazing procedure qualification
independent of product or application.
All new brazing procedure tests are to be carried out in accordance with this document from the date of
its issue. However, this document does not invalidate previous brazing procedure tests made to former
standards or specifications.
Where additional tests need to be carried out to make the qualification technically equivalent, it is only
necessary to perform the additional tests on a test piece which should be made in accordance with this
document.
