ISO 3834 – Quality Requirements for Fusion welding

– ISO 3834 is an international standard that ensures that quality is built-in to welding processes, so that manufacturers of metalwork don’t have to rely on inspection and testing to know that the finished article is fit for purpose. ISO 3834 has been written to complement ISO 9001, the internationally recognised quality management standard, rather than to replace it, and was written around the structure of the version released in 2000.

– ISO 3834 has been adopted as a compulsory supporting standard for the Factory Production Control and CE marking of structural metalwork, EN 1090-1, which uses the principle of Execution Classes 1 to 4. Execution Class is based on the idea that the higher the level of risk, the more comprehensive Factory Production Controls needs to be and Execution Class increases with increased risk. ISO 3834 comes in 5 parts, which also address the level of risk but, contrary to Execution Class, part numbers increase as risk reduces:

– ISO 3034-1 is a guide to the selection of the quality requirements that are needed at different levels of risk.
– ISO 3834-2 defines comprehensive quality requirements for Execution Classes 3 and 4.
– ISO 3834-3 defines standard quality requirements for Execution Class 2.
– ISO 3834-4 defines basic quality requirements for Execution Class 1
ISO 3834-5 lays out the documentation needed to conform to the standard

ISO 14001 – Environmental Management System

ISO 14001:2015 specifies the requirements for an environmental management system that an organization can use to enhance its environmental performance. ISO 14001:2015 is intended for use by an organization seeking to manage its environmental responsibilities in a systematic manner that contributes to the environmental pillar of sustainability.
 
ISO 14001:2015 helps an organization achieve the intended outcomes of its environmental management system, which provide value for the environment, the organization itself and interested parties. Consistent with the organization’s environmental policy, the intended outcomes of an environmental management system include:
 
· enhancement of environmental performance;
 · fulfilment of compliance obligations;
 · achievement of environmental objectives.
 
ISO 14001:2015 is applicable to any organization, regardless of size, type and nature, and applies to the environmental aspects of its activities, products and services that the organization determines it can either control or influence considering a life cycle perspective. ISO 14001:2015 does not state specific environmental performance criteria.
 
ISO 14001:2015 can be used in whole or in part to systematically improve environmental management. Claims of conformity to ISO 14001:2015, however, are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization’s environmental management system and fulfilled without exclusion
