2013年1月18日，上海市焊接學會（SWS）順利通過了美國焊接學會（AWS）授權考試機構（ATF）的三年復審。

審核員Mr. Roger D Miller先生在總結報告中寫道“Shanghai Welding society (SWS) has successfully passed the American Welding Society (AWS) 3^rd ATF Renewal Audit. This Auditors Recmmendation that SWS be issued a Renewal Certificate having Successfully passed and is  in compliance with AWS QC4-89 and B5.4 standard.
