The ISO 3834 standard is dedicated to welding and defines useful guidelines both for those who carry out welding activities and for those who evaluate the manufacturer's ability to produce welded products according to the standard requirements.

For welding activities, the quality cannot be totally controlled on the product, but must be "built" in the product: hence the introduction of the ISO 3834 standard which defines the "Quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials ". ISO 3834 is designed to be used both for fabrication (including any type of fusion welded construction) and for its assessment.

The quality management system in welding can be integrated with the quality management system (ISO 9001) obtaining benefits both in terms of optimization of the documentation and in terms of efficiency of the audit activities. The standard allows a unique definition of the characteristics of the welding and provides specific guidelines for the verification / qualification of suppliers of welded products.

 

Why opt for ISO 3834 certification from CSI?

  • It is a useful tool for defining and maintaining quality requirements for welding;
  • In the context of European Directives (PED, CPR), it constitutes "presumption of conformity"
  • It integrates perfectly within the quality management systems according to UNI EN ISO 9001 and is preparatory to the production control systems according to EN 1090-1.
 Certification for CSQ schemes is awarded to organisations that operate in accordance with the applicable standards. Certificates are valid for three years. The audits are planned on the basis of the customer’s requirements and in accordance with international standards. After the award of the certificate, the organisation undergoes periodic audits and an overall system review every three years. The auditors make on-site visits to organisations to analyse their ability to plan and manage their business processes. Management system certification is the endorsement enjoyed by organisations that have chosen to equip themselves with efficient management systems and suitable skills and structures, aimed at continuous improvement.
