The new UNE-EN ISO/ASTM 52926-1:2024 standard offers a common approach to the qualification of operators in additive manufacturing. If the requirements of the ISO/ASTM 52926 series are met, the scope of an audit may be significantly reduced.
This document specifies the activities and responsibilities of additive manufacturing operators (AM operators) in the field of AM technologies dealing with metallic parts production.
This document is intended to provide guidance for qualification of AM machine operators in general industrial applications.
Where industry-specific requirements exist for the qualification of AM operators, such as ISO/ASTM 52942 for aerospace applications, those industry-specific standards are used instead of this document.
