ANSI/AWS B2.1-1-209-96 (R2007)
Statement on the Use of American Welding Society Standards
All standards (codes, specifications, recommended practices, methods, classifications, and guides) of the American
Welding Society (AWS) are voluntary consensus standards that have been developed in accordance with the rules of the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI). When AWS American National Standards are either incorporated in, or
made 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 cases, any changes in those AWS
standards must be approved by the governmental body 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 requirements
of an AWS standard must be by agreement between the contracting parties.
AWS American National Standards are developed through 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.
AWS disclaims liability for any injury to persons or to property, or other damages of any nature whatsoever, whether
special, indirect, consequential or compensatory, directly or indirectly resulting from the publication, use of, or reliance
on this standard. AWS also makes no guaranty or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any information
published herein.
In issuing and making this standard available, AWS is neither undertaking to render professional or other services for or
on behalf of any person or entity, nor is AWS undertaking to perform any duty owed by any person or entity to someone
else. Anyone using these documents should rely on his or her own independent judgment or, as appropriate, seek the
advice of a competent professional in determining the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances.
This standard may be superseded by the issuance of new editions. Users should ensure that they have the latest edition.
Publication of this standard does not authorize infringement of any patent or trade name. Users of this standard accept
any and all liabilities for infringement of any patent or trade name items. AWS disclaims liability for the infringement of
any patent or product trade name resulting from the use of this standard.
Finally, AWS does not monitor, police, or enforce compliance with this standard, nor does it have the power to do so.
On occasion, text, tables, or figures are printed incorrectly, constituting errata. Such errata, when discovered, are posted
on the AWS web page (www.aws.org).
Official interpretations of any of the technical requirements of this standard may only be obtained by sending a request,
in writing, to the appropriate technical committee. Such requests should be addressed to the American Welding Society,
Attention: Managing Director, Technical Services Division, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126. With regard to
technical inquiries made concerning AWS standards, oral opinions on AWS standards may be rendered. These opinions
are offered solely as a convenience to users of this standard, and they do not constitute professional advice. 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 official 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 B2 Committee on Welding Procedure and Performance
Qualification. It must be reviewed every five years, and if not revised, it must be either reaffirmed or withdrawn.
Comments (recommendations, additions, or deletions) and any pertinent data that may be of use in improving this
standard are required and should be addressed to AWS Headquarters. Such comments will receive careful consideration
by the AWS B2 Committee on Welding Procedure and Performance Qualification and the author of the comments will
be informed of the Committee’s response to the comments. Guests are invited to attend all meetings of the AWS B2
Committee on Welding Procedure and Performance Qualification to express their comments verbally. Procedures for
appeal of an adverse decision concerning all such comments are provided in the Rules of Operation of the Technical
Activities Committee. A copy of these Rules can be obtained from the American Welding Society, 550 N.W. LeJeune
Road, Miami, FL 33126.
