List of welding codes

5 Canadian Standards Association

(CSA) Standards

This page lists published welding codes, procedures, and

specications.

The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) is responsible for the development, maintenance and publication of
CSA standards.[5] The following is a partial list specic
to welding:

American Society of Mechanical

Engineers (ASME) Codes

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)

Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) covers all aspects of design and manufacture of boilers and pressure
6 British Standards (BS)
vessels. All sections contain welding specications, however most relevant information is contained in the following:
British Standards are developed, maintained and published by BSI Standards which is UKs National Standards
Body.[6] The following is a partial list of standards specic
to welding:

American
Welding
(AWS) Standards

7 International Organization for

Standardization (ISO) Standards

The American Welding Society (AWS) publishes over

240 AWS-developed codes, recommended practices and
guides which are written in accordance with American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) practices.[2] The following is a partial list of the more common publications:

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has

developed over 18500 standards and over 1100 new standards are published every year.[7] The following is a partial list of the standards specic to welding:

American Petroleum Institute

(API) Standards

The American Petroleum Institute (API) oldest and most

successful programs is in the development of API standards which started with its rst standard in 1924. API
maintains over 500 standards covering the oil and gas
eld.[3] The following is a partial list specic to welding:

8 European Union (CEN) standards

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) had

issued numerous standards covering welding processes,
which unied and replaced former national standards. Of
former national standards, those issued by BSI and
4 Australian / New Zealand the
DIN were widely used outside their countries of origin.
(AS/NZS) Standards
After the Vienna Agreement with ISO, CEN has replaced
most of them with equivalent ISO standards (EN ISO
[8]
Standards Australia is the body responsible for the de- series).
velopment, maintenance and publication of Australian Additional requirements for welding exist in CEN codes
Standards.[4] The following is a partial list specic to and standards for specic products, like EN 12952, EN

12953, EN 13445, EN 13480, etc.
