While we often sell the AWS (American Welding Society) standards to our U.S. customers, there are many additional standards available on the topic.  The ISO and IEC standards are published by the "International" standards bodies, while the EN documents are regional (European) in coverage.   You may also want to see my previous blog on the new AWS standards released so far this year.
