Charpy V-Notch requirements for welding of thick steel

RE: Charpy V-Notch requirements for welding of thick steel

We did this on a job recently.  I believe it only applies if you're full pen welding.  All we did is write something into the spec that we wanted to see a submittal (cert) that the material complied with this provision.  I don't recall the exact language.
