Introduction<\/h2>

Standard ISO 3834<\/strong> is one of the most important quality standards in welding. It specifies requirements for quality management in welding processes used in industrial production.<\/p>

Many foreign companies implementing projects in Poland must meet the requirements of this standard, especially in sectors such as steel structures, energy, heavy industry and the oil & gas industry.<\/p>

Appropriate preparation for the ISO 3834 audit helps avoid problems during certification and ensures compliance of production processes with international quality standards.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

ISO 3834 is an international standard specifying quality requirements for welding processes involving metallic materials. Its purpose is to ensure that all welding activities are properly controlled and documented.<\/p>

This standard covers, among others:<\/p>

  • control of welding processes<\/li>
  • welding technology qualification (WPS and PQR)<\/li>
  • qualification of welders<\/li>
  • welding supervision<\/li>
  • quality control and production documentation<\/li><\/ul>
