8、ped in accordance with the rules of theAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI). When AWS American National Standards are either incorporated in, ormade part of, documents that are included in federal or state laws and regulations, or the regulations of other governmen-tal bodies, their provisio

9、ns carry the full legal authority of the statute. In such cases, any changes in those AWS standardsmust be approved by the governmental body having statutory jurisdiction before they can become a part of those laws and regulations. In all cases, these standards carry the full legal authority of the

10、contract or other document that invokesthe AWS standards. Where this contractual relationship exists, changes in or deviations from requirements of an AWSstandard must be by agreement between the contracting parties.AWS American National Standards are developed through a consensus standards developm

11、ent process that brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve consensus. While the AWS adminis-ters the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the development of consensus, it does not independently test,evaluate, or verify the accuracy of any info

12、rmation or the soundness of any judgments contained in its standards.AWS disclaims liability for any injury to persons or to property, or other damages of any nature whatsoever, whether spe-cial, indirect, consequential, or compensatory, directly or indirectly resulting from the publication, use of,

Such errata, when discovered, are postedon the AWS web page (www.aws.org).Official interpretations of any of the technical requiremen

19、ts of this standard may only be obtained by sending a request,in writing, to the appropriate technical committee. Such requests should be addressed to the American Welding Society,Attention: Managing Director, Technical Services Division, 8669 Doral Blvd., Doral, FL 33166 (see Annex C). Withregard t

20、o technical inquiries made concerning AWS standards, oral opinions on AWS standards may be rendered. Theseopinions are offered solely as a convenience to users of this standard, and they do not constitute professional advice. Suchopinions represent only the personal opinions of the particular indivi

In addi-tion, oral opinions are informal and should not be used as a substitute for an official interpretation.This standard is subject

22、to revision at any time by the AWS D14 Committee on Machinery and Equipment. It must bereviewed every five years, and if not revised, it must be either reaffirmed or withdrawn. Comments (recommendations,additions, or deletions) and any pertinent data that may be of use in improving this standard are

23、 required and should beaddressed to AWS Headquarters. Such comments will receive careful consideration by the AWS D14 Committee onMachinery and Equipment and the author of the comments will be informed of the Committees response to the com-ments. Guests are invited to attend all meetings of the AWS
