Welding Process Certification According to ISO 3834
The UNI EN ISO 3834 standard guides manufacturers in managing their welding processes,
analyzing the quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials, irrespective of
the welded product type.
The UNI EN ISO 3834 standard comprises five parts:
Part 1 - Criteria for selecting appropriate levels of quality requirements
Part 2 - Overall quality requirements
Part 3 - Standard quality requirements
Part 4 - Elementary quality requirements
Part 5 - Applicable documents
that influences the overall development of process control.
Criteria for selecting the appropriate level include:
product criticality in terms of safety;
construction complexity;
materials used;
materials used;
potential metallurgical issues;
welding processes adopted, and their level of automation;
the significance of potential manufacturing defects concerning the intended service also
plays a role in the decision-making process.
the specific manufacturing process to be systematically controlled, ensuring the systematic
compliance with contractual and regulatory requirements. In other words, the type of the specific
manufacturing process is the crucial parameter for selecting the correct Part of UNI EN ISO 3834
to conform to.
Services Offered
In addition to welding process certification according to ISO 3834, International Weld certifies
Welding Coordinators in accordance with UNI EN ISO 14731 and UNI EN 1090 for Specialist Level
through the experience and competence of its personnel, providing added value to the certification
of these professional figures.
Certification

Application Opportunities
ISO 3834 can be applied:
in contractual situations;
in compliance with standard regulatory codes.
With the new European normative scenario mandating CE marking for metallic structural products according to EN 1090-1, compliance with ISO 3834 becomes obligatory and prerequisite for all companies producing assembled metallic structural products through welded joints.
In the ISO 3834 context, the competence of personnel, understood as a combination of knowledge and experience, plays a significant role. It is believed that no management system can yield the expected results without adequate specific technical competence. The Welding Coordinator plays a “key” role around whom the entire production process revolves.
