Answer:
1. Welding codes and standards address all aspects of design and fabrication of welded components, including welding procedure specifications, quality control and quality assurance during welding and necessary welding skills for a given welding procedure in all industry sectors.
2. Why is it important to select the correct welding code or standard? If you use the wrong code or standard, the cost of fabrication could be too high or the parts might not stand up to service.
