The United States has no mandatory code or standard for certification of a company鈥檚 welding operations.

The 鈥淚nternational Building Code鈥� (IBC) published by the International Code Council (ICC) is the national model building code used in the United States. The IBC requires either 鈥渟pecial inspections鈥� in the fabricating shops to ensure conformance with the approved plans, specifications and workmanship provisions of the building code and standards of quality, or fabricator approval. Weld inspection requirements are in accordance with AWS D1.1 鈥淪tructural Welding Code鈥�.

The Canadian Welding Bureau has worked with building authorities in US states and cities to obtain recognition of the Canadian welding certification system to demonstrate both the value of the CWB certification program and that it can meet the requirements of the IBC. The recognition waives the need for 鈥渟pecial inspections鈥� in the fabrication plants of certified companies.
