Inspection of Welds. The manufacturer must ensure that the welds show continuous penetration without any deviation of the weld seam, and that they are free from defects likely to jeopardize the safe use of the container. For containers in two pieces, a radiographical test has to be performed on the circumferential butt welds over 100 mm, with the exception of the welds in conformity with joggle weld on page 1 of appendix 1 of this annex. On one container selected at the beginning and end of each shift period from continuous production and, in the event of production being interrupted for a period of more than 12 hours, the first container welded should also be radiographed.
