In addition to quality control (QC), this book introduces the concept of quality assurance (QA). Quality assurance has a number of definitions, but in general is the combination of the quality assurance plan with procedures through which the quality control inspector can inspect in the field. The book is arranged in categories so that is can be used in handbook fashion; each section stands independent of the others. The arrangement of the major portion of the book is organized in the same format as we usually find in building construction specification, the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) format.

This standard defines the qualification requirements to qualify welding inspectors. The qualification requirements for visual welding inspectors include experience, satisfactory completion of an examination which includes demonstrated capabilities, and proof of visual acuity. The examination tests the inspector's knowledge of welding processes, welding procedures, nondestructive examinations, destructive tests, terms, definitions, symbols, reports, welding metallurgy, related mathematics, safety, quality assurance and responsibilities.

This manual has been prepared for use as a reference materials for their day to day inspection business and for assistance in the training of new inspectors. This is also a supplement to applicable Standards, such as ASTM, ACI, AWS, etc. as well as building codes, such as UBC, SBC, etc.; thus, any references made in this manual reflects to the applicable code and/or standard test method. Inspection is the observation of construction for conformance with the approved design documents. It shall not be relied upon by others as guarantee or acceptance of work, nor shall it in any manner relieve any contractor or other party from their obligations and responsibilities under the construction contract, or generally accepted industry custom, or building codes and standards. Included in this manual are materials for other testing and inspection, for which there are currently no special training program or certifications available or offered. H.

The Encyclopedia concentrates on resources that are useful, in an easy-to-use format to enable the Architect to access this wealth of knowledge. More than a simple listing, the Encyclopedia provides the "intelligence" to find, evaluate, and contact the resources that can save time and money in the day-to-day practice of an Architect. The Encyclopedia will have a system to indicate to readers which listings are the most targeted in terms of the "best" sources. There will be four indexes: Keyword index, Name index, Master Format index, and Acronym index.
