3、rds Ali standards (codes, specifications, recommended practices, methods, classifications and guides) of the American Welding Society are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules of the American National Standards Institute. When AWS standards are either in
4、corporated in, or made a part of, documents that are included in federal, or state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other government bodies, their provisions carry the full legal authority of the statute. In such cases, changes in those AWS standards must be approved by the governmental b
5、ody having statutory jurisdiction before they can 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 requ
6、irement of an AWS standard must be by agreement between the contracting parties. International Standard Book Number: 0-87171-371-3 American Welding Society, 550 N.W.

7、Jte: The primary purpose of AWS is to serve and benefit its members. To this end, AWS provides a forum for the exchange, consideration, and discussion of ideas and proposals that are relevant to the welding industry and the consensus of which forms the basis for these standards. By providing such a
8、forum, AWS does not assume any duties to which a user of these standards may be required to adhere. By publishing this standard, the American Welding Society does not insure anyone using the information it contains against any liability arising from that use. Publication of a standard by the America
9、n Welding Society does not carry with it any right to make, use, or sell any patented items. Users of the information in this standard should make an independent investigation of the validity of that information for their particular use and the patent status of any item referred to herein. With rega
10、rd to technical inquiries made concerning AWS standards, oral opinions on AWS standards may be rendered. However, such opinions represent only the personal opinions of the particular individuals giving them. These individuals do not speak on behalf of AWS, nor do these oral opinions constitute offic
11、ial or unofficial opinions or interpretations of AWS. In addition, oral opinions are informal and should not be used as a substitute for an official interpretation. This standard is subject to revision at any time by the AWS Qualification and with technical and ethical principles. The Welding Educat
12、or should be able to work with the school administrator or a welder with ease and an appreciation of the role of each. The AWS program for the certification of Welding Educators has been developed to define minimum standards for welding educators and to provide a means of recognition for those who d
13、emonstrate that they have the skills, knowledge, and experience in the field of welding education. Comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome. They should be sent in writing to the Secretary, AWS Qualification and Certification Committee, American Welding Society, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Mi

Scope 1.1 This standard establishes the requirements for the AWS certification of Welding Educators, describes how personne
16、l are qualified, and outlines the principles of conduct and practice by which certification may be maintained. 1.2 In the certification process, the AWS conducts examinations which verifies a persons skill and know- ledge of welding fabrication and requires documen- tation of their teaching skills.
17、1.3 It shall be the responsibility of the employer to determine that a person is capable of performing the duties involved in their welding educator assignment. 1.4 This standard is intended to supplement the require- ments of an employer, or of state regulations; it shall not be construed as a pree
18、mption of the employers responsibility for the work or for the performance of the work. 2. Levels of Certification A Certified Welding Educator (CWE) is a person certified by AWS as having met the qualification requirements of 5.1 and section 6. This shall be the only level of certification of Weldi
19、ng Educators. 3. Definitions %rms used in this Standard are defined as follows: Acceptance Criteria. Specified limits placed on one characteristic of an item or process defined in codes, standards or other contract requirement documents. Applicant. A person who applies to the AWS for certification.
20、AWS. The American Welding Society Certificate. A document issued to the candidate on successful completion of the requirements for certification. Certification. The act of determining, verifying, and attesting in writing to the qualification of personnel in accordance with specified requirements. Fa
21、brication. To construct or manufacture to a specification. Inspection. Examination or measurement to ver- ify whether an item or activity conforms to specified requirements. Inspector. A person who performs an inspec- tion function to verify conformance to specified requirements. Ed ucators Other Te
22、rms. All other terms used herein are defined by ANSUAWS A3.0, Standard Welding Terms and Definitions. QdkC Committee. The Qualification and Certifi- cation Committee of the American Welding Society. Q the word should denotes a guideline; and the word may denotes a choice. Training Institution. Organ
23、izations which train people for employment in the field of welding. This in- cludes for fee organizations open to the public or in- house training organizations who train only their own employees.
