AWS QC11

Abstract

This standard establishes the minimum requirements for an organization to participate&#160;with the American Welding Society (AWS) in the qualification and certification of advanced welders.<br>This standard specifies practical knowledge and performance tests that require a more&#160;detailed level of reading, computational, and manual skills to successfully complete.<br>All individuals that meet the specified performance at a facility meeting <strong>3. Requirements for Participating Organizations</strong> will be listed in The National Registry of Level II - Advanced Welders at the American Welding Society.<br>Organizations not meeting <strong>3. Requirements for Participating Organizations</strong> may use this standard, but individuals they certify will not be listed in the National Registry of Level II - Advanced Welders.<br>Although a written test including questions on safety is required by this standard, this standard is not intended to address safety and health. Safety and health requirements are provided in ANSI Z49.1, <em>Safety in Welding und Cutting</em>, other safety and health standards, and federal, state, and local government regulations. The responsibility for safety of the Level II - Advanced Welder is primarily with the welder, the Participating Organization during training and testing, and afterwards, with the employer.<br>The requirements of this standard shall not supersede the authority of the training&#160;facility as established by the local evaluation guidelines.
