TS EN 1792

TS EN 1792 is a multilingual terminology standard for welding and related processes. Its purpose is to establish a common technical language across languages, so that the same welding concept, process, or component is identified consistently in documents, training material, specifications, and day-to-day engineering communication.

Why welding terminology is standardised

In welding, a term often refers to more than a simple word translation. It may denote a specific process family, joint concept, filler material, equipment type, or process step. A terminology standard helps align these meanings across languages and reduces ambiguity in drawings, procedures, manuals, and international collaboration. In practice, that makes it easier to compare documents and understand whether two sources are describing the same technical idea.

What this standard covers

• It contains commonly used welding terms.
• It provides multilingual equivalents; the document language set includes Turkish, English, French and German.
• It covers welding and related processes, not only welding in the narrow sense.
• The scope notes that new terms will be added regularly, reflecting the evolving technical vocabulary.

As a terminology standard, TS EN 1792 focuses on naming and equivalence rather than on prescribing how a welding operation is performed. That makes it a useful reference for engineers, translators, technical writers, trainers and production teams who need a reliable shared vocabulary in the welding field.
