7、n accordance with the rules of theAmerican National 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 ca
8、rry the full legal authority of the statute. In such 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 contra

IntroductionThe American Welding Society (AWS) Board of Direc-tors has adopted a policy whereby all official
33、interpreta-tions of 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 directedthrough the AWS staff member who works with thatcommittee. The policy r
34、equires 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 interpretations may require considerabletime.A2. ProcedureAll inquiries shall be direc
35、ted to:Managing DirectorTechnical Services DivisionAmerican Welding Society8669 Doral Blvd., Suite 130Doral, FL 33166All inquiries shall contain the name, address, and affilia-tion of the inquirer, and they shall provide enough infor-mation for the committee to understand the point ofconcern in the
36、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 single provi-sion of the standard unless the point of the inquiryinvol
37、ves 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. The purpose of theinquiry shall be stated in this portion of the inqu
38、iry. Thepurpose can be to obtain an interpretation of a standardsrequirement or to request the revision of a particularprovision in the standard.A2.3 Content of the Inquiry. The inquiry should beconcise, yet complete, to enable the committee to under-stand the point of the inquiry. Sketches should b
39、e 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 the stan-dard, the inquiry shall provide technical justification forthat revision.A2.4 Proposed Reply. The inquirer should, as
40、a pro-posed reply, state an interpretation of the provision thatis the point of the inquiry or provide the wording for aproposed revision, if this is what the inquirer seeks.A3. Interpretation of Provisions of the StandardInterpretations of provisions of the standard are made bythe relevant AWS tech
41、nical committee. The secretary ofthe committee refers all inquiries to the chair of theparticular subcommittee that has jurisdiction over theportion of the standard addressed by the inquiry. Thesubcommittee reviews the inquiry and the proposed replyto determine what the response to the inquiry shoul
42、dbe. Following the subcommittees development of theAnnex AGuidelines for the Preparation of Technical InquiriesThis annex is not part of AWS B2.1-8-013:2002 (R2013), Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) forShielded Metal Arc Welding of Austenitic Stainless Steel (M-8/P-8/S-8, Group 1), 10

44、sponse, the inquiry and the response are presented tothe entire committee for review and approval. Uponapproval by the committee, the interpretation is an officialinterpretation of the Society, and the secretary transmitsthe response to the inquirer and to the Welding Journalfor publication.A4. Publ
45、ication of InterpretationsAll official interpretations will appear in the WeldingJournal and will be posted on the AWS web site.A5. Telephone InquiriesTelephone inquiries to AWS Headquarters concerningAWS standards should be limited to questions of a gen-eral nature or to matters directly related to
46、 the use of thestandard. The AWS Board Policy Manual requires thatall AWS staff members respond to a telephone requestfor an official interpretation of any AWS standard withthe information that such an interpretation can beobtained only through a written request. Headquartersstaff cannot provide con
47、sulting services. However, thestaff can refer a caller to any of those consultants whosenames are on file at AWS Headquarters.A6. AWS Technical CommitteesThe activities of AWS technical committees regarding in-terpretations are limited strictly to the interpretation ofprovisions of standards prepare
48、d by the committees or toconsideration of revisions to existing provisions on thebasis of new data or technology. Neither AWS staff northe committees are in a position to offer interpretive orconsulting services on (1) specific engineering problems,(2) requirements of standards applied to fabricatio
49、ns out-side the scope of the document, or (3) points not specifi-cally covered by the standard. In such cases, the inquirershould seek assistance from a competent engineer expe-rienced in the particular field of interest.Permission to reproduce for intra-company use only is granted by the American Welding SocietyAWS B2.1-8-013:2002 (R2013)Page 9 of 13List of
