Thanks for the replies.
Thank you for pointing out that the EN 288 is used for WPS as apposed
to the EN 287. I never thought about that and I'm glad you brought it
to my attention.
However, the WPS's that we have, (ASME IX) still need to be matched to
a list of BS EN /ISO WPS's if you see what I mean. So that we can
start printing the new WPS numbers on drawings and following them in
shop, to satisfy the customer. I know it would be possible to re-
qualify all of the same variables under the new code, but it would
save a lot of time to be able to just find the equivalent by means of
cross referencing between the two codes and their range of approvals.
Please let me know if this makes more sense.
I'm not sure it's the best way to do it, but the boss has asked...
Thanks again for the help.
Ken
