B1 COMMITTEE ON METHODS OF INSPECTION


SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE RESPONSIBILITIES

The basic responsibility of this committee is the establishment of technically sound methods and recommended practices for inspection and nondestructive examination of welded joints and the promotion of knowledge and dissemination of information on welding inspection. Major functions of the Committee are to obtain and review existing inspection standards developed by other Committees of AWS and to develop a consolidated Standard or Standards for inspection methodology, to assure that the Society's related publications are technically sound, consistent, and not in conflict with each other. The Committee will respond to inquiries from the public on matters within its scope.

ATTENTION INSPECTION PROFESSIONALS
