current welding standards

(OP)
What is the current welding standard, or what standards can i reasonably refer to. It seems that at work we don't have a given standard we adopt/abide by. We have a BS499 hanging around but someone reckons it is no longer used. What should i refer to ?

RE: current welding standards

You're in the UK?
I guess you should look at eurocodes, EN 1090, the 5817, iso 3834, EN 1011, iso 6947, ...
depending on what you want to refer.

or does the UK does not follow european codes (EN) ? I have no idea about any BS...
