ISO/TR 19480:2005为聚变操作员的培训、评估和批准提供了指南和其他规定，目的是建立和保持他们在按照ISO 10839供应气体燃料的聚乙烯（PE）管道系统施工、供水或在其他压力应用中使用的此类系统施工方面的能力。它涵盖了对接熔合、电熔合和插座熔合焊接技术，并考虑了实现高强度焊接所需的理论和实践知识- 要生产高质量的熔合接头。

ISO/TR 19480:2005 gives guidance and other provisions for the training, assessment and approval of fusion operators, with the aim of establishing and maintaining their competency in the construction of polyethylene (PE) piping systems for the supply of gaseous fuels in accordance with ISO 10839, for the supply of water, or in the construction of such systems used in other pressure applications. It covers the butt fusion, electrofusion and socket fusion jointing techniques and considers both the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to enable high-quality fusion joints to be produced.
