AISC releases new version of certification standard

The latest version of American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) 207-23, Standard for Certification Programs, is now available for free download on AISC’s website.

The latest edition will continue to serve as the go-to reference for the AISC certification program, setting the quality level for structural steel fabricators and erectors. It will take effect for current program participants and applicants for audits on or after June 1, 2024, superseding the 2020 version.

“AISC’s Certification program is designed to help specifiers choose fabricators and erectors who have the personnel, organization, experience, procedures, equipment, and commitment to build quality at the start of a project by preventing errors, instead of correcting them,” said AISC Vice President of Membership and Certification Todd A. Alwood.

Some of the changes include updates to the glossary, welding, inspection, and testing procedure requirements and clarifications on subcontracting work and record retention requirements. Reference names have been revised and commentary has been updated.
