This part of ISO 12176 describes the format and the contents of a fusion operator's badge.
The operator's badge is used during the construction of polyethylene (PE) piping systems for gas supply to identify the fusion operator. The operator's badge can be used to activate or deactivate the fusion-jointing equipment or to identify the operator.
The objective of this part of ISO 12176 is to achieve international interoperability between the operator's badge and the card-reading equipment of fusion-jointing equipment conforming to ISO 12176-1 or ISO 12176-2. The fusion-jointing equipment is required to read either the bar code or the magnetic-stripe code of the badge and to call up the corresponding data within the equipment in a standard format.
