Additive manufacturing of metals - Qualification principles - Part 3: Qualification of operators for PBF-EB
This document identifies the capabilities and responsibilities required for the qualification of the
AM operators on the field of the additive manufacturing technologies dealing with metallic parts
production, specifically for the employment of powder bed fusion – electron beam for metals (PBFEB/
M).
This document identifies criteria for the theoretical and practical assessment of personnel operating
PBF-EB/M machines. The activities and procedures foreseen to be performed by the PBF-EB operator
are also part of this document.
This document is intended to provide guidance for qualification of machine operators in general
industrial applications.

About This Item
TS EN ISO ASTM 52926-3 addresses qualification principles for operators involved in additive manufacturing of metal parts using powder bed fusion–electron beam (PBF-EB). It focuses on what personnel need to know and be able to do, and on how those capabilities and responsibilities are assessed.
Technical context of PBF-EB operator qualification
PBF-EB is a metal additive manufacturing process in which a powder bed is selectively fused by an electron beam. In practice, this technology combines powder handling, machine setup, process monitoring and operation in a controlled environment, often with demanding thermal and atmospheric conditions. For that reason, operator qualification is not just about pressing start; it is about understanding the process well enough to support consistent production and controlled machine operation.
According to the scope, the document sets criteria for the theoretical and practical assessment of personnel operating PBF-EB/M machines, and it also includes the activities and procedures expected of the operator. Its stated aim is to provide guidance for qualification in general industrial applications, so it should be understood as a personnel-competence framework rather than a part or product specification.
