The ISO 3834 Welded Manufacturing Competence Management System standard is a very comprehensive standard with many variables. It requires control of not only resource activities but also all subsidiary elements. Only then can it be said that the welding processes have been done in good quality. The following are some procedures that should be prepared according to the quality requirements in terms of main topics. These procedures may not be necessary for all enterprises that use resources during production. When the ISO 3834 Welded Manufacturing Competence Management System is established within the company, it will be decided which of these pro- duces should be prepared. But in any case, every process for the firm's activities must be documented. This is the approach of quality systems in general.

Now, let us briefly consider which procedures should be prepared.
