What governs the industry standard for measuring weld quality?

Local industry practices

International regulations

The American Welding Society standards

The American Welding Society (AWS) standards are widely recognized and established as the benchmark for measuring weld quality in the metal fabrication industry. These standards encompass various aspects of welding, including techniques, materials, safety protocols, and inspection methods. By adhering to AWS standards, welders and fabricators ensure consistency, reliability, and high quality in their work, which is crucial for compliance and performance in both domestic and international markets. While local industry practices, international regulations, and manufacturers' guidelines may play a role in specific contexts, they often derive their principles from or fall in line with AWS standards. The AWS standards provide a comprehensive framework that professionals can rely on, making it the preferred choice for governing weld quality in the industry.
