The ISO 3834 Welded Manufacturing Qualification Management System standard prepared by ISO (International Standards Organization) is designed for a systematic and controlled execution of welding operations. The main features of this standard can be summarized as follows:
- Defines the business resource requirements
- Define quality requirements for welding
- A guide for the qualification of enterprises and products producing welded products
- It can be applied in various stages of production but its main function is welding process
- Ensures that the design complies with the principles of the requested project
- Provides security both for the employees in the application phase and for the end-users after production
- Provides production at the right time and under the right conditions
- Easy to integrate into ISO 9001 Quality Management System
- It prevents the companies operating in different sectors and internationally from receiving more than one certificate.
Briefly ISO 3834 standardis designed for the manufacturers engaged in welded manufacturing and is based on the melt welding method of metals. In this way, it determines the appropriate quality requirements for manufacturers and their products. In this regard, it is particularly concerned with the quality of the source and the products to be affected by the welding activities. This standard is intended to ensure the assessment of the welding quality systems of the manufacturers.
ISO 3834 standard is applied in the manufacturing companies and welded manufacturing is carried out under controlled conditions and continuity of this work is ensured. In this respect, the controls to be made begin at the beginning of the product design and continue with the selection of the appropriate main materials and consumables. In the meantime, it is of course important that the welders, welding engineers, welding inspectors and other persons involved in the welding activity are trained. At the same time, they should have the necessary documents for their activities.
The control works to be performed are also important in determining the welding methods to be applied and performing the welding works. Even destructive or non-destructive testing methods are used to control product quality.
Businesses that apply the ISO 3834 standard should first examine the terms of the contract with their customers and the technical data provided by the buyer and any other requirements. All necessary information must be fully available before manufacturing. This is because the manufacturer provides its own quality-oriented facilities to meet all requirements. In this way, the manufacturer confirms that it has the possibility to implement the contract, that it has sufficient resources for delivery and that the documents are clear and understandable.
