AWS C1。5:2019规定了电阻焊技术员（RWT）的资格要求。它描述了 如何确定资格，以及获得和保持资格的实践。本规范的使用者将评估每位候选人的资格，并提供考试，以测试候选人的电阻焊技能和知识，以及他或她应用电阻焊原理的能力。本规范旨在补充雇主、规范、其他标准或规范的最低要求 不应被解释为雇主对工程或工程实施的责任的先占权。 电阻焊接工艺包括点焊、凸焊、缝焊、对接焊、闪光焊、微连接、电阻钎焊、电阻钎焊和电阻加热。据了解，并非所有这些纪律都适用于每种情况，雇主应负责确定其员工是否具备RWT资格，是否能够履行其职业任务中涉及的特定职责。虽然RWT已建立了良好的资质，但仅凭本规范的资质可能不具备向公众提供技术服务的法律资格。 合同文件和建筑或管辖法律可能要求在注册专业工程师（P.E.）等其他人的指导和责任下提供技术服务。RWT名称并不意味着根据任何州或其他政府实体的法律，注册体育机构的地位。

AWS C1.5:2019 establishes qualification requirements for a resistance welding technician (RWT). It describes how qualifications are determined, and the practice by which qualification may be attained and maintained. The user of this specification will evaluate the qualifications of each candidate, and provide examinations to test the candidate's resistance welding skills and knowledge, as well as, his or her ability to apply the principles of resistance welding.This specification is intended to supplement the minimum requirements of employers, codes, other standards, or documents, and shall not be construed as a preemption of the employer's responsibility for the work or for the performance of the work. Resistance welding processes include spot welding, projection welding, seam welding, butt welding, flash welding, micro joining, resistance brazing, resistance soldering and resistance heating.It is understood not all of these disciplines are used in every situation and it shall be the responsibility of employers to determine their employee, who having qualified as a RWT, is capable of performing the specific duties involved in their career assignments. While the RWT has established excellent credentials, qualification to this specification alone may not legally qualify the technician to provide technical services to the public. Contract documents and building or jurisdiction laws may require technical services to be performed under the direction and responsibility of others such as a registered Professional Engineer (P.E.). The RWT designation DOES NOT imply the status of a registered P.E. under the laws of any state or other governmental entity.
