BS 89100:2018

BS 89100:2017 specifies the minimum essential variables in order to produce a component ofthe required consistency and quality for the following thermal joining processes:

• ultrasonic welding/staking/spot welding;
• infrared welding;
• hot gas convection welding;
• linear vibration welding;
• orbital vibration welding;
• spin welding;
• laser welding;
• hot plate welding;
• heat staking: hot air;
• heat staking: electrical; and
• heat staking: infrared (IR).

This British Standard defines the thermal joining process specification (TJPS) for each of the thermaljoining processes listed above, to ensure that all the essential variables are properly considered,including the qualified range of each variable, in order to establish and maintain component qualityat an acceptable level.Cross References:BS EN ISO 472PD CEN/TR 16862
