Welding

To help companies provide a well defined basis for planning welding operations, maintaining a system of quality control, its important to issue the relevant procedure specifications, ensuring welders are qualified, appropriately trained and tested to do the work safely and precisely. We offer welder training, Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and weld certification to help maintain your quality conscious approach.

With the introduction of BS EN ISO 3834, which provides the quality requirements for process control related to all welding processes, this is suitable for manufacturers to use on their own or in conjunction with ISO 9001:2000. The BS EN ISO 3834 series supersedes BS EN 729:1995 Parts 1–4.

To ensure sound and effective manufacturing, management needs to understand and appreciate the sources of potential trouble and to implement appropriate procedures for their control. The BS EN ISO 3834 series identifies measures that are applicable for different situations. Typically, they may be applied in the following circumstances:

in contractual situations: specification of welding quality requirements
by organisations assessing welding quality performance, e.g. third parties, customers, or manufacturers.
by manufacturers: establishment and maintenance of welding quality requirements
by committees drafting manufacturing codes or application standards: specification of welding quality requirements

BS EN ISO 3834 can be used by internal and external organizations, including certification bodies, to assess the manufacturer's ability to meet customer, regulatory or the manufacturer's own requirements.
