Recently 4 in Gaziantep. International Welding Technologies Conference and Exhibition was organized. During the conference, the most emphasized issue was the design and manufacturing standards in welded production. There is an ISO 9001 Quality Management System standard for industrial companies in their enterprises, but in addition to this, enterprises that make production by using resources in the industrial sector establish and implement ISO 3834 Welded Manufacturing Qualification Management System in their businesses in order to prove their competence, competence and reliability.

In the presented papers, information is given about the current legal regulations related to welding practices in the industrial sector and the standards accepted nationally and internationally. In the meantime, the deficiencies in the inspection and certification processes in the welded production sector were also addressed. Especially for the manufacturers who want to put CE marking on their products, it is explained that the harmonized European Union standards (design, production and welding standards) should be used from design studies to product presentation to customers.

When applying the ISO 3834 (EN 15085) standard requirements to the organization, first of all, the controls for welded productions should be determined and processes should be prepared for these controls. ISO 3834 standard foresees the following checks:

  • Product design must be checked (design can be developed in-house or presented by the customer, but in both cases the final design must be checked)
  • The main materials to be used must be checked (whether or not the main materials are suitable for welding)
  • Check the consumables to be needed (whether the consumables are also suitable for welding)
  • The educational status of the welders should be checked (the welders, controllers and engineers must have adequate and adequate training)
  • It should be checked whether the welders working have the necessary documents (welding personnel, controllers and engineers must be competent)
  • Check whether the correct welding methods to be used are selected (there are more than fifty welding methods, but it is important to choose the appropriate method for the design)
  • Weld production should be checked (design, materials used and welding methods may be correct but if applied incorrectly, this will adversely affect the quality of the finished product)
  • Product quality should be checked by using destructive or non-destructive testing methods (after the production is completed, a quality control study should be performed for the finished product according to the method chosen).

Preparation of procedures, work processes, work flow charts, application instructions and job descriptions that regulate these principles and ISO 3834 Welded Manufacturing Qualification Management System established.
