Preparing for ISO 3834 Certification
Requirements, Process and Expectations
ON-DEMAND WEBINAR
ISO 3834 sets out internationally recognised quality requirements for organisations carrying out fusion welding of metallic materials. For manufacturers seeking ISO 3834 certification, understanding which requirements apply, which level of certification is appropriate and how these requirements will be assessed is an important first step.
Watch this on-demand webinar where LRQA speaker Thirumal explored the key requirements of ISO 3834 certification and what organisations can expect throughout the assessment process. The session provides a clear introduction to the structure of the ISO 3834 series, the different levels of quality requirements and the organisational controls, responsibilities and records that manufacturers need to have in place.
This session focused specifically on the requirements of certification and the assessment process, rather than the technical aspects of welding. You will gain a clearer understanding of how ISO 3834 applies to manufacturers, what documented controls and responsibilities need to be in place, and how to prepare for an initial certification or surveillance assessment.
