EN ISO 3834 Welding Quality Requirements
Many manufacturing facilities use welding processes. The welding method, consumable wire, environmental conditions and other factors all determine product quality, directly affecting your company's quality and success.
The TS EN ISO 3834 series addresses quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials. Parts 2, 3 and 4 specify different quality levels; Part 1 covers their selection, Part 5 the relevant documents and Part 6 implementation guidance. The series is not a complete quality management system standard replacing ISO 9001. Certification scope depends on the fabrication activity and selected part.
The standards making up the TS EN ISO 3834 welding quality framework are:
EN ISO 3834-1: Criteria for the selection of the appropriate level of quality requirements;
EN ISO 3834-2: Comprehensive quality requirements;
EN ISO 3834-3: Standard quality requirements;
EN ISO 3834-4: Elementary quality requirements;
EN ISO 3834-5: Documents necessary to confirm conformity with the quality requirements.
Documents required for an application for TS EN ISO 3834 certification:
Certificate of business activity;
Authorised signature circular;
Tax registration certificate;
Trade Registry Gazette publication.
The supporting requirements for TS EN ISO 3834 certification include preparing:
WC (Welder Certificate);
PQR (Procedure Qualification Record);
WPS (Welding Procedure Specification).
TS EN ISO 3834 certification is issued for a maximum validity period of 3 years. During that period, a surveillance audit is carried out at least once a year to verify continued conformity with the standard.
