BUY OR LEASE?
You can buy AWS technical publications one-at-a-time as you need them, or save time and money by purchasing an
annual license to download from the full AWS collection on demand.
AWS now offers Licensing Services, providing online access to all of its technical publications, including all AWS codes
and standards from A1.1 to Z49.1. As a licensee, you may choose either the Full AWS Collection or one of several
custom packages that allow your firm to hand-pick the latest AWS documents as needed.
The AWS Licensing Service allows you to search, view, save, and print documents on demand. The online AWS collection
is updated weekly, so you will always have the most current editions.
For custom lease assistance, call toll-free: 1-888-WELDING (935-3464) or 305-443-9353 Ext. 280 outside of North

Security Features for Electronic Downloads

In an effort to protect their intellectual property and enforce existing copyright laws, many Standards Developing
Organizations have required all distributors of their content to implement security features that prevent the
reproduction and redistribution of downloaded documents. AWS have implemented a security policy that uses a free
Adobe Acrobat plug-in from FileOpen Systems, Inc.
Security Features:
• Reproduction and Redistribution Restrictions: The free Adobe Acrobat plug-in “locks” the PDF file to the
computer on which it was first opened. Once a PDF file has been locked to a computer, it can be opened only
from that computer.
• Networking Restrictions: Secure PDF files cannot be used in a multi-user, network environment.
• Viewing Restrictions: You must download the free plug-in to view any secured PDF document. There is no limit
to the number of times a document may be viewed on your computer.
• Printing Restrictions: The plug-in limits the number of times the document may be printed to one copy. Since
the software interprets printing a part of the document as the one allowable print attempt, we recommend you
print the entire document.
• Copy & Paste Restrictions: The ability to copy and paste text from the PDF file has been disabled.

AWS publishes Standard Welding Procedure Specifications (SWPSs), which are reviewed and validated by the
Welding Procedures Committee of the Welding Research Council. They are balloted through the AWS standards-
development program as American National Standards. Standard Welding Procedure Specifications may be used
on work covered by the AWS D1.1, Structural Welding Code—Steel with the engineer’s approval. The National
Board Inspection Code has adopted all pipe SWPSs except B2.1-1-202 and B2.1-1-312. SWPSs with red order
numbers may be used on ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel work with additional requirements spelled out in
Section IX of ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code. All licenses are good for unlimited intracompany applications.
