The Program Requirements for AISC’s updated Erector Certification Program are now available for public comment at www.aisc.org/certification. These requirements will be the governing criteria for the erector program and reference the new Standard for Structural Steel Erectors - 2013 (AISC 206-13). The standard describes the essential program requirements for each element of the quality and safety management systems for structural steel erectors. Comments will be accepted until September 2, 2014.
As a result of adding this public review period, the implementation dates have been extended and AISC currently anticipates issuing the final requirements in October 2014 for new applicants. Starting September 1, 2014, current erector participants will be provided a gap analysis during their next scheduled audit.
