I am creating a drawing for a structural bracket and would like to include a statement to control the workmanship of the welding section (done with arc welding). I have difficulty to find out the appropriate standard references I can put onto the drawing? I would like to know if there are any canadian and american standards that I can put onto the drawing. Thanks.

What is the base metal and what is your application?
Consider:
AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code/Steel for carbon steel,
AWS D1.2 Structural Welding Code/Aluminum for Aluminum
AWS D1.6 Structural Welding Code/Stainless Steel for austenitic stainless steel.
AWS D17.1 for aerospace structural components
AWS has other standards for structural sheet metal, earthmoving equipment, mill cranes, material handling equipment, etc. That's why I asked about the application.
"All welding, including welding procedure specifications and welder qualifications, shall be in accordance with AWS D1.X Structural Welding Code/XXXX" The "X" would be substituted with the proper code and base metal. You should include a specific year for the code you select. You can get that by going to the AWS web site. You should also state whether the bracket is for a static or cyclicly loaded structure.
Good luck - Al

Thanks a lot Gtaw.
I would put something like "Welding process shall be conforming to AWS D1.1 or equivalent" in the drawing.
It is a mild steel (low carbon stee) AISI 1020 welded structural steel (44W or 50W) and with possible cyclic loading (vibration cause by fluttering and structure). I have never read this type of welding spec. Just curious about what does it cover? Does it cover the control of welding process and inspection pass/fail criteria.
Also, does it mandate any specific type test (tensile, NDT) and also inspection program?
Regards,
