ISO 3834 Certification
ISO 3834 Certification deals with quality requirements in welding and has been prepared in order to identify the necessary controls and procedures. ISO 3834 Certification is not a quality system standard intended to take the place of ISO 9001, but a useful, additional tool for use when ISO 9001 is applied by manufacturers.
EN ISO 3834 is intended for the fusion welding of metallic materials, and its application is independent of the products manufactured. However, its principles and many of its detailed requirements are also relevant to other welding and welding-related processes.
One of the aims of EN ISO 3834 is to define requirements in the field of welding so that contracting parties or regulators do not have to do this themselves. A reference to a particular part of EN ISO 3834 should be sufficient to demonstrate the capabilities of the manufacturer to control welding activities for the type of work being done.
Welding Quality Assurance
ISO 3834 certification provides criteria to be taken into account for the selection of the appropriate level of quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials, among the three levels specified in ISO 3834-2:2005 ISO 3834-3:2005 and ISO 3834-4:2005. It applies to manufacture, both in workshops and at field installation sites.
ISO 3834 Certification does not specify requirements for a total quality management system. However, quality management system elements where their inclusion will complement ISO 3834 Certification are defined.
The Welding Fabricator Certification Scheme enables welding fabricators to demonstrate compliance with BS EN ISO 3834 “Quality Requirements for Welding”. Accredited by UKAS, certification provides independent verification of your company’s welding and fabricating capabilities, demonstrating compliance with European and International Standards.
