When AWS American National Standards are either incorporated in, or ‘made part of, documents that are included in federal or stato laws and regulations, or the regulations of other govern- mental bodies, their provisions carry the full legal authority of the statute. In such cases, any changes in those AWS standards must be approved by the govemmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they ean become a part of those laws and regulations. In all cases, these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other document that invokes the AWS standards. Where this contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirements of an AWS standard must be by agreement between the contracting parties, AWS American National Standards are developed thraugh a consensus standards development process that brings ‘together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus. While AWS administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not independently test, evaluate, or verify the accuracy of any information or the soundness of any judgments contained in its standards.

The need for pretested welding procedures that are supported by adequate test data and that satisfy the technical requirements for the commonly used construction codes and specifications has been. expressed by many individuals and organizations. The purpose of a welding procedure qualification is to provide test data for assessing the properties of a weld joint. ‘This Welding Procedure Specification is an outgrowth ofthe coordinated work ofthe Welding Procedures Committee of the Welding Research Council and the B2 Committee on Welding Procedure and Performance Qualification of the AWS. The Welding Procedures Committee has provided the test data documented by a Summary of Procedure Quali cation Records, ‘The welding terms used in this specification shall bo interpreted in accordance with the definitions given in the latest edition of AWS A3.0, Standard Welding Terms and Definitions; Including Terms for Adhesive Bonding, Brazing, Soldering, Thermal Cutting, and Thermal Spraying. Welding symbols shall be those shown in the latest edition of AWS A2.4, Symbols for Welding, Brazing, and Nondestructive Examination. ‘The AWS Committee on Welding Qualification was formed in 1979 to provide welding standards concerning the subject of qualification, The primary document developed by this committee is AWS B2.1, Standard for Welding Procedure and Performance Qualification. This document established the foundation and framework for Standard ‘Welding Procedure Specifications. ‘Comments and suggestions for the improvement of this standard are welcome, They should be sent to the Secretary, AWS B2 Committee on Welding Procedure and Performance Qualification, American Welding Society, 550 N.W.

Introduction ‘The American Welding Society (AWS) Board of Directors has adopted a policy whereby all official interpretations of AWS standards are handled in a formal manner. Under this policy, all interpretations are made by the ‘committee that is responsible for the standard. Offical communication concerning an interpretation is directed through the AWS staff member who works with that committee. The policy requires that all requests for an interpretation be submitted in writing. Such requests will be handled as expeditiously as possible, but due to the complexity of the work and the procedures that must be followed, some interpretations may require considerable time. A2. Procedure All inquiries shall be directed to: Managing Director “Technical Services Division American Welding Society All ingoities shall contain the name, address, and affilia- tion of the inquirer, and they shall provide enough infor ‘mation for the committes to understand the point of ‘concern in the inquiry. When the point is not clearly defined, the inquiry will be returned for clarification, For efficient handling, all inquires should be typewritten and inthe Format specified below. A21 Scope. Bach inguity shall adress one single provi- sion of the standard unless the point of the inquiry involves two or more interrelated provisions. The provi- sion(3) shall be identified in the scope of the inquiry slong with the edition of the standard that contains the provision(s) the inquirer is addressing. A22 Purpose of the Inguiry. The purpose of the Inquiry shall be stated in this portion of the inquiry. The purpose can be to obtain an interpretation of a standard’s requirement or to request the revision of a particular pro- the standard A2.3 Content of the Inquiry. The inguiry should be concise, yet complete, to enable the committee to under- stand the point of the inquiry. Sketches should be used whenever appropriate, and all paragraphs, figures, and tablos (or anncx) that bear on the inquiry shall be cited. IF the point of the inquiry is to obtain a revision of the standard, the inquiry shall provide technical justification for that revisio A24 Proposed Reply. The inquirer should, as a proposed reply, state an interpretation of the provision that is the point af the inquiry or provide the wording for 2 proposed revision, if this is what inguirer seeks. A3. Interpretation of Provisions of the Standard Tnteepeetations of provisions of the standard are made by the relevant AWS technical committee. The secretary of the committee refers all inquiries to the chair of the par- ticular subcommittee that has jurisdiction over the por- tion of the standard addressed by the inguiry. The subcommittee reviews the inquiry and the proposed reply to determine what the response to the inquiry should be, Following the subeommittee's development of the response, the inquiry and the response are presented to the entire committee for review and approval. Upon. approval by the committe, the interpretation is an official Permission to reproduce for intra-company use only is granted by the American Welding Societyinterpretation of the Society, and the secretary transmits the response to the inquirer and to the Welding Journal for publication, A4. Publication of Interpretations All official interpretations will appear in the Welding Journal and will be posted on the AWS web site AS. Telephone Inquiries ‘Telephone inquiries to AWS Headquarters concerning AWS standards should be limited to questions of a gen- eral nature or to matters directly related to the use of the standard, The AWS Board of Directors’ policy requires that all AWS staff members respond to a telephone roquest for an official interpretation of any AWS stan- ‘dard withthe information that such an interpretation can AWS B2.1-1-234:2006 Page 8 of 13 be obtained only through a written request. Headquarters staff cannot provide consulting services. However, the staff can refer a caller to any of those consultants whose names are on file at AWS Headquarters, A6. AWS Technical Committees ‘The activities of AWS technical committees regarding interpretations are limited strictly to the interpretation of provisions of standards prepared by the committees or to consideration of revisions to existing provisions on the basis of new data or technology.
