Foreword (This Foreword is not a part of AWS B2.1-1-011:2002, Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) for Shielded Metal Arc Welding of Galvanized Steel (M-1), 10 through 18 Gauge, in the As-Welded Condition, with or without Backing, but is included for informational purposes only.)
The American Welding Society and the Welding Research Council have joined in a cooperative effort to generate standard welding procedures for industry. The need for pretested welding procedures that are supported by adequate test data and that satisfy the technical requirements for the commonly used construction codes and specifications has been expressed by many individuals and organizations. The purpose of a welding procedure qualification is to provide test data for assessing the properties of a weld joint. This Standard Welding Procedure Specification is an outgrowth of the coordinated work of the Welding Procedures Committee of WRC and the Committee on Welding Qualification of the AWS. The Welding Procedures Committee has provided the test data documented on the Summary of Procedure Qualification Records, which are available from the Welding Research Council. The welding terms used in this specification shall be interpreted in accordance with the definitions given in the latest edition of AWS A3.0, Standard Welding Terms and Definitions. Welding symbols shall be those shown in the latest edition of AWS A2.4, Standard Symbols for Welding, Brazing, and Nondestructive Examination. The AWS B2 Committee on Welding Qualification was formed in 1979 to provide welding standards concerning the subject of qualification. The primary document developed by this committee is AWS B2.1, Standard for Welding Procedure and Performance Qualification. This document established the foundation and framework for Standard Welding Procedure Specifications. The first two Standard Welding Procedure Specifications were published in 1990. Since then SWPSs are continuing to be developed and published by the American Welding Society. This is the first revision of B2.1.011. Comments and suggestions for the improvement of this standard are welcomed. They should be sent to the Secretary, AWS B2 Committee on Welding Qualification, American Welding Society, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126.

Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) Nonmandatory Annex
Annex A Guidelines for Preparation of Technical Inquiries for AWS Technical Committees (This Annex is not a part of AWS B2.1-1-011:2002, Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) for Shielded Metal Arc Welding of Galvanized Steel (M-1), 10 through 18 Gauge, in the As-Welded Condition, with or without Backing, but is included for informational purposes only.)
A1. Introduction The AWS Board of Directors has adopted a policy whereby all official interpretations of AWS standards will be handled in a formal manner. Under that policy, all interpretations are made by the committee that is responsible for the standard. Official communication concerning an interpretation is through the AWS staff member who works with that committee. The policy requires that all requests for an interpretation be submitted in writing. Such requests will be handled as expeditiously as possible, but due to the complexity of the work and the procedures that must be followed, some interpretations may require considerable time.
A2. Procedure All inquiries must be directed to: Managing Director, Technical Services American Welding Society 550 N.W. LeJeune Road Miami, FL 33126 All inquiries must contain the name, address, and affiliation of the inquirer, and they must provide enough information for the committee to fully understand the point of concern in the inquiry. Where that point is not clearly defined, the inquiry will be returned for clarification. For efficient handling, all inquiries should be typewritten and should also be in the format used here. A2.1 Scope. Each inquiry must address one single provision of the standard, unless the point of the inquiry
involves two or more interrelated provisions. That provision must be identified in the scope of the inquiry, along with the edition of the standard that contains the provisions or that the inquirer is addressing. A2.2 Purpose of the Inquiry. The purpose of the inquiry must be stated in this portion of the inquiry. The purpose can be either to obtain an interpretation of a standard requirement, or to request the revision of a particular provision in the standard. A2.3 Content of the Inquiry. The inquiry should be concise, yet complete, to enable the committee to quickly and fully understand the point of the inquiry. Sketches should be used when appropriate and all paragraphs, figures, and tables (or the Annex), which bear on the inquiry must be cited. If the point of the inquiry is to obtain a revision of the standard, the inquiry must provide technical justification for that revision. A2.4 Proposed Reply. The inquirer should, as a proposed reply, state an interpretation of the provision that is the point of the inquiry, or the wording for a proposed revision, if that is what inquirer seeks.
A3. Interpretation of Provisions of the Standard Interpretations of provisions of the standard are made by the relevant AWS Technical Committee. The secretary of the committee refers all inquiries to the chairman of the particular subcommittee that has jurisdiction over the portion of the standard addressed by the inquiry. The subcommittee reviews the inquiry and the proposed reply to determine what the response to the inquiry should be.

Standard Welding Procedure Specification (SWPS) Following the subcommittee’s development of the response, the inquiry and the response are presented to the entire committee for review and approval. Upon approval by the committee, the interpretation will be an official interpretation of the Society, and the secretary will transmit the response to the inquirer and to the Welding Journal for publication.
an official interpretation of any AWS standard with the information that such an interpretation can be obtained only through a written request. The Headquarters staff cannot provide consulting services. The staff can, however, refer a caller to any of those consultants whose names are on file at AWS Headquarters.
A6. The AWS Technical Committee A4. Publication of Interpretations All official interpretations will appear in the Welding Journal.
A5. Telephone Inquiries Telephone inquiries to AWS Headquarters concerning AWS standards should be limited to questions of a general nature or to matters directly related to the use of the standard. The Board of Directors’ policy requires that all AWS staff members respond to a telephone request for
The activities of AWS Technical Committees in regard to interpretations, are limited strictly to the interpretation of provisions of standards prepared by the committee or to consideration of revisions to existing provisions on the basis of new data or technology. Neither the committee nor the staff is in a position to offer interpretive or consulting services on: (1) specific engineering problems, or (2) requirements of standards applied to fabrications outside the scope of the document or points not specifically covered by the standard. In such cases, the inquirer should seek assistance from a competent engineer experienced in the particular field of interest.
