The exam is part of the Structural Welding Special Inspector certification path. ICC identifies the Structural Welding path as requiring the Structural Steel and Bolting Special Inspector Certification, plus the Structural Welding Codes module and the Structural Welding Plans module.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is specifically for the Structural Welding Codes Module. The codes module focuses on the ability to work with technical welding standards and apply inspection-related code knowledge. Candidates preparing for this exam should be ready to study structural steel welding, sheet steel welding, reinforcing steel welding, welding symbols, material requirements, fabrication requirements, welder qualification concepts, welding procedure requirements, inspection duties, and documentation responsibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe codes module is different from the plans module. The codes module emphasizes code-based reference knowledge, while the plans module emphasizes plan-reading and interpretation skills. Candidates pursuing the full Structural Welding Special Inspector path should understand that both the codes and plans modules are part of the ICC Structural Welding certification route, along with the prerequisite listed by ICC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExam preparation should include repeated use of the reference books. Candidates should study how AWS D1.1, AWS D1.3, AWS D1.4, AWS A2.4, and the steel manual are organized. They should practice moving between clauses, tables, figures, definitions, and symbol explanations. The goal is to become comfortable enough with the books that locating information becomes a practiced skill rather than a stressful search.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eOpen Book Test\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Structural Welding Codes Module is an open book computer-based exam. Open book testing gives candidates access to reference material, but it does not remove the need for careful study. The exam is timed, and candidates who are not familiar with the books can lose valuable time searching for basic information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor this type of exam, reference navigation is one of the most important study skills. Candidates should know where major welding topics appear in the AWS standards, how clauses are arranged, how tables are labeled, and where welding symbols are explained. Candidates should also review ICC’s current test site rules before exam day so their books, tabs, markings, and materials comply with testing requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA good open book strategy is to study by topic rather than simply reading from front to back. For example, candidates can set aside one session for welding symbols, another for structural steel welding requirements, another for reinforcing steel welding, another for sheet steel welding, and another for inspection and qualification concepts. This approach makes the reference set easier to manage and helps candidates build speed with each book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eLicensing Steps\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCandidates working toward the New Jersey Structural Welding Codes Module should begin by confirming that the ICC Structural Welding Special Inspector path matches their professional goal, employer requirement, project requirement, or jurisdictional requirement. ICC lists Structural Welding as a Special Inspector certification path, and the path includes the Structural Steel and Bolting Special Inspector Certification as a prerequisite, followed by Structural Welding Codes and Structural Welding Plans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA practical preparation path begins with reviewing the ICC exam listing and confirming the correct exam title before purchase. Candidates should make sure they are selecting the correct module, testing method, code year when applicable, and account name. ICC exam purchases are made through the candidate’s myICC account, and candidates should confirm that their account name matches their government-issued identification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter confirming the correct exam module, candidates should gather the required references and create a study schedule. For the Structural Welding Codes Module, preparation should include review of AWS D1.1 for structural steel, AWS D1.3 for sheet steel, AWS D1.4 for reinforcing steel, AWS A2.4 for welding and nondestructive examination symbols, and the \u003cem\u003eManual of Steel Construction, 15th Edition\u003c\/em\u003e. Candidates should focus on both technical understanding and timed reference navigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCandidates pursuing the full ICC Structural Welding Special Inspector designation should also plan for the Structural Welding Plans module and any prerequisite certification requirements listed by ICC. ICC’s modular special inspector structure allows candidates to schedule module exams separately, and ICC states that candidates have three years to pass the necessary modules and prerequisites to achieve an ICC Special Inspector certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eState Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis exam book package is written for New Jersey candidates working toward the ICC Structural Welding Codes Module. New Jersey candidates should confirm how the ICC Structural Welding Special Inspector credential is used for their specific job role, project type, employer, agency, or jurisdiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eICC states that its Special Inspector certification program offers a designation for use by building officials as they evaluate special inspector qualifications. ICC also states that approval of a special inspector under Chapter 17 of the International Building Code remains within the discretion of the applicable jurisdiction’s building official. For New Jersey candidates, this means the ICC credential can be an important part of professional qualification, but project approval, job acceptance, and inspection authority may depend on the building department, approved plans, specifications, statement of special inspections, and employer requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCandidates should keep records of passed modules, active credentials, prerequisite certifications, and any experience documentation required by their employer or jurisdiction.

Candidates should begin by separating the material into manageable study categories. One category should focus on AWS D1.1 and structural steel welding. Another should focus on AWS D1.3 and sheet steel welding. Another should focus on AWS D1.4 and reinforcing steel welding. A separate category should focus on AWS A2.4 and welding symbols.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWelding-symbol knowledge is especially important because symbols are a common language between drawings, specifications, welding personnel, and inspectors. Candidates should practice identifying weld symbols, reference lines, arrows, tails, groove weld symbols, fillet weld symbols, contour symbols, finishing symbols, field weld symbols, and nondestructive examination symbols. Understanding symbols helps candidates connect code requirements to real-world inspection conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor AWS D1.1, candidates should study how the code is structured and become familiar with major topics such as materials, design-related welding requirements, prequalification, procedure qualification, welder qualification, fabrication, inspection, stud welding, tubular structures, and acceptance criteria. Candidates do not need to memorize every provision, but they should know where to find information quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor AWS D1.3, candidates should focus on sheet steel welding terminology, applicable materials, welding procedure requirements, workmanship, inspection, and acceptance provisions. Sheet steel welding has its own requirements, and candidates should avoid assuming that every structural steel rule from AWS D1.1 applies the same way to sheet steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor AWS D1.4, candidates should focus on reinforcing steel applications, welded reinforcing bar requirements, material considerations, qualification requirements, fabrication requirements, and inspection responsibilities.

A question may involve selecting the proper AWS reference, interpreting a welding symbol, identifying a weld requirement from drawings, recognizing the difference between structural steel welding and reinforcing steel welding, or applying a sheet steel welding concept. Other questions may focus on whether the candidate understands how field observations should be compared with approved construction documents and applicable welding code provisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudy should include both technical reference review and practical inspection thinking. AWS welding codes are detailed references, and candidates should become comfortable identifying which code applies to the material and condition described. The Manual of Steel Construction supports steel construction terminology and steel-reference awareness. AWS A2.4 supports the ability to interpret symbols that may appear on drawings and welding details. Candidates should practice using the references directly because open-book preparation depends on being able to identify the correct source, locate information efficiently, read requirements carefully, and apply them to the condition in the question.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStructural welding inspection often requires connecting multiple pieces of information. A field condition may involve a steel member, a weld symbol, a connection detail, a welding process note, a material condition, a reinforcing steel condition, a sheet steel element, or an inspection observation.

The listed references support study of structural steel welding, reinforcing steel welding, sheet steel welding, welding symbols, steel member identification, connection terminology, and inspection-related code knowledge. Candidates should become comfortable using these books as working references, especially because the Structural Welding Codes module is a timed open-book exam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Philadelphia candidates, structural welding inspection may be connected to special inspection requirements administered through the city’s construction permitting and inspection process. Philadelphia requires special inspectors and special inspection agencies to hold and maintain qualifications for the inspection categories they perform. ICC certification can support a candidate’s qualification record, but approval to perform special inspection work remains tied to the requirements of the jurisdiction, project documents, agency, and building official.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe S2CY module is not the same as a general contractor exam. It is also not a welding performance test. It focuses on structural welding code knowledge.

The S2C Structural Welding Codes exam is a codes module focused on the code and reference knowledge associated with structural welding inspection. The S2CY designation is commonly associated with the computer-based version of this codes module.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ICC S2C Structural Welding Codes exam is identified as an open-book exam with 60 questions and a 2-hour time limit. Candidates should prepare for a timed testing environment where reference navigation is critical. The exam requires the ability to locate information, interpret technical welding code language, and apply requirements to inspection situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Structural Welding Codes module is commonly part of the broader Structural Welding Special Inspector certification pathway. Special inspector certification may involve additional modules or related requirements depending on the credential being pursued. Candidates should make sure they are registering for the correct ICC exam module and understand how the codes module fits into their full certification goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe exam may cover structural steel welding requirements, reinforcing steel welding, sheet steel welding, welding symbols, materials, weld types, joint details, welder qualification concepts, inspection procedures, nondestructive examination terminology, discontinuity acceptance criteria, preheat and interpass temperature requirements, approved construction documents, and discrepancy reporting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Philadelphia, special inspection requirements are connected to the city’s permitting and construction inspection process. Individuals performing special inspections on behalf of agencies must be registered for, and must hold and maintain the qualifications associated with, each category of special inspection they perform. Passing an ICC exam may support a candidate’s qualifications, but it does not automatically authorize a person to perform special inspections on every project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eOpen Book Test\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ICC Structural Welding Codes module is an open-book exam when approved references are permitted under current ICC testing rules. An open-book exam still requires serious preparation. Candidates who are not familiar with their references can lose valuable time searching through tables, clauses, indexes, annexes, definitions, symbols, and technical requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis exam book package gives candidates the references needed to study the welding code areas tied to the S2CY module. The AWS D1.1 steel welding code supports study of structural steel welding requirements. AWS D1.4 supports reinforcing steel welding. AWS D1.3 supports sheet steel welding. AWS A2.4 supports welding symbol interpretation. The \u003cem\u003eManual of Steel Construction, 15th Edition\u003c\/em\u003e supports steel member identification, steel terminology, and structural steel reference knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe open-book exam rewards candidates who know where information is located. Candidates should not expect to learn the books for the first time on exam day. A strong study routine includes timed lookup practice, repeated use of the table of contents and index, review of key clauses, and regular practice interpreting symbols and code language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore exam day, candidates should practice moving between references. Some questions may point toward AWS D1.1, while others may involve reinforcing steel, sheet steel, symbols, or steel construction terminology. Knowing which book is most likely to contain the answer helps reduce wasted time and improves confidence during the exam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eLicensing Steps\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ICC S2CY Structural Welding Codes module is tied to special inspector certification rather than a traditional contractor license. Candidates generally begin by identifying the credential required by the jurisdiction, employer, project documents, inspection agency, or building official. For structural welding inspection, the relevant credential path is commonly associated with ICC Structural Welding Special Inspector certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter identifying the required credential, candidates should review the applicable ICC exam requirements and select the correct module. The Structural Welding Codes module focuses on code knowledge. Candidates pursuing full special inspector recognition may also need to complete other required modules or satisfy additional qualification criteria depending on the certification pathway and jurisdictional requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe next step is to prepare with the approved reference materials. This product includes the \u003cem\u003eManual of Steel Construction, 15th Edition\u003c\/em\u003e, AWS D1.4\/D1.4M: 2018, AWS D1.1\/D1.1M: 2020, AWS D1.3\/D1.3M: 2018, and AWS A2.4:2020. Candidates should study the books carefully, become familiar with their layout, and practice finding information under timed conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce prepared, the candidate schedules and completes the applicable ICC examination through the ICC testing process. Candidates should use the same legal name that appears on their government-issued identification and follow all exam-day rules for approved references, identification, testing format, and conduct.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter passing the required exam module, candidates should keep their score report and certification documentation. For Philadelphia project work, special inspector acceptance may still require approval through the city’s permitting and inspection process. Candidates may also need to provide proof of experience, employer information, agency registration, additional certifications, or other documentation depending on the project and inspection role.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eState Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction inspection in Pennsylvania is connected to the Pennsylvania Uniform Construction Code framework and local administration by the applicable municipality. In Philadelphia, special inspection requirements are administered through the city’s permitting and inspection process. Structural welding inspection qualifications are evaluated within that local process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhiladelphia’s special inspection requirements identify that individuals performing special inspections on behalf of agencies must be registered for, and must hold and maintain the qualifications associated with, each category of inspection they perform. This means the candidate’s exam results, certifications, agency relationship, and applicable qualifications may all be part of the approval process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eICC special inspector certification supports the qualification process, but it does not replace local approval. The International Code Council’s special inspector certification program offers a credential that a building official may use when evaluating a candidate’s qualifications. The authority to approve a special inspector for a particular project remains with the jurisdiction’s building official.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCandidates getting ready for the S2CY codes module should understand the difference between passing an exam and being accepted for special inspection work.

Candidates should begin by learning the structure of each book. The table of contents, index, major clauses, definitions, tables, figures, and symbol examples should become familiar before exam day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAWS D1.1 is a major study reference for structural steel welding. Candidates should review welding procedure requirements, prequalified welding procedure concepts, welder qualification concepts, base metals, filler metals, preheat and interpass temperature provisions, inspection requirements, workmanship criteria, nondestructive examination, and acceptance criteria. Questions may require close reading because small differences in welding code language can change the correct answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAWS D1.4 should be studied for reinforcing steel welding. Candidates should review reinforcing bar material considerations, weldability, procedure qualification concepts, preheat requirements, inspection duties, splice and connection details, and acceptance criteria. Reinforcing steel welding has unique requirements, so candidates should not assume that all structural steel welding rules apply the same way to reinforcing steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAWS D1.3 should be studied for sheet steel welding. Candidates should focus on sheet steel applications, permitted welding processes, joint details, qualification requirements, weld quality, inspection expectations, and acceptance criteria. Sheet steel welding questions may require candidates to recognize when D1.3 is the controlling reference instead of D1.1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAWS A2.4 is essential for welding symbol interpretation. Candidates should practice reading reference lines, arrows, tails, weld symbols, supplementary symbols, dimensions, all-around symbols, field weld symbols, contour symbols, finish symbols, groove weld symbols, fillet weld symbols, plug and slot weld symbols, spot weld symbols, seam weld symbols, and nondestructive examination symbols. Many inspection questions depend on correctly interpreting the symbol before applying the welding code.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eManual of Steel Construction, 15th Edition\u003c\/em\u003e supports steel identification and structural steel terminology.

This reference helps candidates understand the steel framing context in which welding inspection is performed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspection responsibility is another important topic. Structural welding special inspectors observe work, verify compliance with approved documents and applicable codes, review welding procedure documentation, check welder qualifications when required, monitor materials and conditions, identify discrepancies, document inspection results, and communicate issues through proper channels. Inspection work is technical, procedural, and documentation-based.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCandidates should also study weld discontinuities and acceptance criteria. Topics may include cracks, porosity, undercut, overlap, incomplete fusion, incomplete joint penetration, weld size, weld length, profile, reinforcement, slag inclusions, arc strikes, and other conditions that may affect weld acceptance. The correct answer often depends on the applicable code, weld type, loading condition, material, and inspection method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA strong preparation plan includes repeated timed practice.

Work areas should also be kept organized to reduce trip hazards around leads, hoses, tools, and equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAWS Z49.1 and The Independent Shop’s Guide to Welding Safety and Health are valuable for integrating process knowledge with safe work practices. Safety should be studied alongside each welding or cutting process rather than treated as a separate topic only at the end of preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the C-60 examination is closed book, active recall should be part of the study routine. Review one process, close the reference, and describe the equipment, preparation, consumables, operating technique, common problems, post-weld procedure, and safety precautions from memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApply the same method to welding symbols. Look at several symbols, interpret them, then repeat the exercise without the reference. Being able to move between a drawing and the physical weld is an important trade skill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCalculation practice should also be included because some C-60 questions require mathematical computation. Practice trade-related estimating and measurement problems and make sure the setup is understood rather than memorized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA productive preparation routine combines broad reference reading with targeted study. Begin with the five examination sections, identify weak subjects, use the appropriate welding, structural code, symbol, or safety reference for deeper review, and then practice recalling the information without the books.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eHow 1 Exam Prep Helps You Reach Your Goal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Exam Prep helps candidates prepare for the California Welding (C-60) contractor examination through organized study guidance, trade-focused review, structured reference navigation, and practice-oriented preparation. The book reference package supports the main examination areas of planning, preparation, welding, brazing, soldering, cutting, and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReference navigation can help candidates focus on weaker subjects. A candidate needing additional process review can concentrate on Modern Welding, while someone who needs more drawing interpretation can spend additional time with AWS A2.4.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAWS D1.1\/D1.1M supports structural steel welding review, while AWS Z49.1, The Independent Shop’s Guide to Welding Safety and Health, and the Cal\/OSHA materials provide focused safety preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrade-focused study also helps connect the stages of welding work. Plans and specifications establish the requirements. Metal identification and estimating influence process and material selection. Preparation establishes the joint and work area. Welding or cutting completes the operation, while finishing and inspection address the completed work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe package can support candidates whose field experience is concentrated in one part of the trade. A structural welder may need more review involving brazing, soldering, symbols, or cutting. A shop fabricator may need additional field-safety and construction preparation. A balanced study plan can help cover the full C-60 examination outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo exam preparation package can guarantee a passing result or contractor license approval, but organized reference study can help candidates strengthen their familiarity with welding processes, preparation, symbols, cutting, structural welding, calculations, and safety concepts before taking the closed-book examination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eFAQ Section\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eWhat does the California C-60 Welding classification cover?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C-60 classification covers contractors who permanently attach, join, and fabricate metals through the use of gases and electrical energy that create sufficient heat to perform welding work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eIs the California C-60 trade examination open book?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The California Welding (C-60) trade examination is closed book.
