13、ent on the Use of American Welding Society StandardsAll standards (codes, specifications, recommended practices, methods, classifications, and guides) of the AmericanWelding Society (AWS) are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules of theAmerican National
14、Standards Institute (ANSI). When AWS American National Standards are either incorporated in, ormade part of, documents that are included in federal or state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other govern-mental bodies, their provisions carry the full legal authority of the statute. In such
15、 cases, any changes in those AWSstandards must be approved by the governmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they can become a part ofthose laws and regulations. In all cases, these standards carry the full legal authority of the contract or other documentthat invokes the AWS standards.
16、Where this contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirementsof an AWS standard must be by agreement between the contracting parties.AWS American National Standards are developed through a consensus standards development process that bringstogether volunteers representing va
17、ried viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus. While AWS administers the processand establishes rules to promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not independently test, evaluate, orverify the accuracy of any information or the soundness of any judgments contained in its standa

Such requests should be addressed to the American Welding Society,Attention: Managing
24、Director, Technical Services Division, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126. With regard totechnical inquiries made concerning AWS standards, oral opinions on AWS standards may be rendered.

It must be reviewed every five years, and if not revised, it must be either reaffirmed or withdrawn.Comments (re
27、commendations, additions, or deletions) and any pertinent data that may be of use in improving thisstandard are required and should be addressed to AWS Headquarters. Such comments will receive careful considerationby the AWS B2 Committee on Welding Procedure and Performance Qualification and the aut

IntroductionThe American Welding
39、 Society (AWS) Board of Directorshas adopted a policy whereby all official interpretationsof AWS standards are handled in a formal manner.Under this policy, all interpretations are made by thecommittee that is responsible for the standard. Officialcommunication concerning an interpretation is direct
40、edthrough the AWS staff member who works with thatcommittee. The policy requires that all requests for aninterpretation be submitted in writing. Such requests willbe handled as expeditiously as possible, but due to thecomplexity of the work and the procedures that must befollowed, some interpretatio
41、ns may require considerabletime.A2. ProcedureAll inquiries shall be directed to:Managing DirectorTechnical Services DivisionAmerican Welding Society550 N.W. LeJeune RoadMiami, FL 33126All inquiries shall contain the name, address, and affilia-tion of the inquirer, and they shall provide enough infor
42、-mation for the committee to understand the point ofconcern in the inquiry. When the point is not clearlydefined, the inquiry will be returned for clarification. Forefficient handling, all inquiries should be typewritten andin the format specified below.A2.1 Scope. Each inquiry shall address one sin
43、gle provi-sion of the standard unless the point of the inquiryinvolves two or more interrelated provisions. The provi-sion(s) shall be identified in the scope of the inquiryalong with the edition of the standard that contains theprovision(s) the inquirer is addressing.A2.2 Purpose of the Inquiry. Th
44、e purpose of theinquiry shall be stated in this portion of the inquiry. Thepurpose can be to obtain an interpretation of a standardsrequirement or to request the revision of a particular pro-vision in the standard.A2.3 Content of the Inquiry. The inquiry should beconcise, yet complete, to enable the
45、 committee to under-stand the point of the inquiry. Sketches should be usedwhenever appropriate, and all paragraphs, figures, andtables (or annex) that bear on the inquiry shall be cited. Ifthe point of the inquiry is to obtain a revision of thestandard, the inquiry shall provide technical justifica
46、tionfor that revision.A2.4 Proposed Reply. The inquirer should, as aproposed reply, state an interpretation of the provisionthat is the point of the inquiry or provide the wording fora proposed revision, if this is what inquirer seeks.A3. Interpretation of Provisions of the StandardInterpretations o
47、f provisions of the standard are made bythe relevant AWS technical committee. The secretary ofthe 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 inquiry. Thesubcommittee reviews the inquiry and the
48、proposed replyto determine what the response to the inquiry shouldbe. Following the subcommittees development of theresponse, the inquiry and the response are presented tothe entire committee for review and approval.
