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. B5.5:20XX, Specification for the Qualification of Welding Educators. This specification establishes the attributes required for determining the qualification of welding educators for career technical education programs and other welder training programs, and associates of applied science welding technology programs by qualifying as welding educator and welding technology educator, respectively. Welder training programs may be part of a school, college, technical center, independent laboratory, manufacturing plant, and other party. This document becomes mandatory when invoked by a referencing document, such as a state educational standard, specification, or contract document. Stakeholders: Educators, welders. Revised Standard. Contact: S. P. Hedrick, ext. 305, steveh@aws.org. C1.5:20XX, Specification for the Qualification of Resistance Welding Technicians. This specification establishes the requirements for qualification of resistance welding technicians (RWT) employed in the welding industry. The minimum experience, examination, application, qualification, and requalification requirements and methods are defined herein. This specification is a method for technicians to establish a record of their qualification and abilities in welding industry work, such as development of machine troubleshooting, process controls, quality standards, problem solving, etc. Stakeholders: Resistance welding community. Revised Standard. Contact: A. Babinski, ext. 310, ababinski@aws.org. C6.1:20XX, Recommended Practices for Friction Welding. This recommended practice describes friction welding fundamentals and basic equipment requirements. Suggested procedure qualification, inspection methods, and joint designs are detailed. Typical mechanical property data are referenced. Stakeholders: Friction welding community. Revised Standard. Contact: A. Babinski, ext. 310, ababinski@aws.org. D8.8M:20XX, Specification for Automotive Weld Quality — Arc Welding of Steel. This specification describes weld geometry and workmanship criteria essential to ensuring the quality of automotive and light-truck weldments. This specification covers the arc and hybrid arc welding of coated and uncoated steels. Stakeholders: Automotive community, arc welding community. Revised Standard. Contact: A. Babinski, ext. 310, ababinski@aws.org. D8.9M:20XX, Test Methods for Evaluating the Resistance Spot Welding Behavior of Automotive Sheet Steel Materials. This document presents standard test methods for evaluating the resistance spot welding behavior of automotive sheet steels. The document contains a number of tests and test methods useful in determining the resistance spot welding performance of coated and uncoated automotive sheet steels of all strength levels and compositions. The test methods are designed to assess current range, electrode endurance, and weld properties of automotive sheet steels. The weld property tests include hold time sensitivity, weld hardness, shear tension strength, and cross tension strength. Stakeholders: Automotive community, resistance spot welding community. Revised Standard. Contact: A. Babinski, ext. 310, ababinski@aws.org. D8.10M:20XX, Specification for Au-
