EN 462-2 Step Hole Penetrameters / IQIs

EN 462-2 Step Hole Penetrameters / IQIs

Overview

This European standard replaces the previous national standards such as NFA 09 - 205 (AFNOR) or BS3971. They are manufactured in steel as standard and can also be manufactured in Aluminum, Copper, Titanium and Inconel to order. The EN 462-2 IQIs comprise of six plaques measuring 5 x 7 mm, 7 x 10 mm, or 15 x 15 mm, which are encapsulated in transparent plastic along with an identification monogram in cast white metal. Each plaque has one or two through-drilled holes whose diameter is the same as the plaque thickness. The IQIs are supplied in a wallet with a Declaration of Conformity.

EN & AFNOR Comparison

There is a direct correlation between the specified EN models and the previous AFNOR types:

AFNOR Model EN Model
H3 H1
HA H5
HB H9
HC H13

Quality Assurance

Manufacturing, including inspection, follows a written procedure, which forms part of a Quality Management System registered according to ISO 9001. Each IQI carries a unique serial number. The Declaration of Conformity provides a complete manufacturing history.

The monogram with the IQI identifies the model; for example, H 13 FE means:
H = hole type IQI, 13 = Number of the thinnest step, FE= Steel.
