New Standards Projects Development work has begun on the following new or revised standards. Affected individuals are invited to contribute to their development. Participation on AWS Technical committees is open to all persons. C3.2M/C3.2:20XX, Standard Method for Evaluating the Strength of Brazed Joints. This standard describes the test methods used to obtain brazed strength data of the short-time testing of single-lap joints in shear, butt-tension, stress-rupture, creepstrength, four-point-bending, and ceramic-tensile-button specimens. Specimen preparation methods, brazing procedures, testing techniques, and methods for data analysis are detailed. Sample forms for recording data are presented. A graphical method of data presentation relates shear stress to overlap distance. Stakeholders: Brazing Engineers, educators, general interest groups, and so on. Revised Standard. Contact: J. Douglass, ext. 306, jdouglass@aws.org. D16.1M/D16.1:20XX, Specification for Robotic Arc Welding Safety. This standard establishes safety requirements with respect to the design, manufacture, and operation of arc welding robot systems and ancillary equipment. It also helps to identify and minimize hazards involved in maintaining, operating, and setting up arc welding robot systems. Stakeholders: Organizations within the robotic welding community. Reaffirmed Standard. Contact: P. Portela, ext. 311, pportela@aws.org. Standards for Public Review AWS was approved as an accredited standards-preparing organization by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1979. AWS rules, as approved by ANSI, require that all standards be open to public review for comment during the approval process. This column also advises of ANSI approval of documents. The following standards are submitted for public review. A draft copy may be obtained by contacting the staff secretary of the committee as listed below at AWS, Technical Services, 8669 NW 36 St., #130, Miami, FL 33166-6672; (800/305) 443-9353. A5.36/A5.36M:20XX, Specification for Carbon and Low-Alloy Steel Flux Cored Electrodes for Flux Cored Arc Welding and Metal Cored Electrodes for Gas Metal Arc Welding. Revised Standard. $36.50. ANSI public review expired 5/16/16. Contact: R. Gupta, ext. 301, gupta@aws.org. ISO Draft Standards for Public Review Copies of the following Draft International Standards are available for review and comment through your national standards body, which in the United States is ANSI, 25 West 43rd Street, Fourth Floor, New York, NY 10036; telephone (212) 642-4900. Any comments regarding ISO documents should be sent to your national standards body. In the United States, if you wish to participate in the development of International Standards for welding, contact Andrew Davis at AWS, 8669 NW 36 St., #130, Miami, FL 33166- 6672; (305) 443-9353 ext. 466, e-mail: adavis@aws.org. Otherwise, contact your national standards body. ISO/DIS 17279-1, Welding — Micro joining of 2nd generation high temperature superconductors — Part 1: General requirements for the procedure.
