ISO/DIS 3834-1:2020(E)

Introduction
Processes such as fusion welding are widely used to manufacture many products. In some companies, they
are the key feature of production. Products may range from simple to complex. Examples include pressure
vessels, domestic and agricultural equipment, cranes, bridges, transport vehicles and other items.
These processes exert a profound influence on the cost of manufacture and quality of the product. It is
important, therefore, to ensure that these processes are carried out in the most effective way and that
appropriate control is exercised over all aspects of the operation.
It is emphasised that the ISO 3834 series is not a quality management system standard replacing
ISO 9001:2015. However, it can be a useful tool when ISO 9001:2015 is applied by manufacturers.
Specification of quality requirements for welding processes is important because the quality of these

processes cannot be readily or economically validated. Therefore, they are considered to be special
processes as noted by ISO 9000:2015.
Quality cannot be inspected into a product: quality has to be built in. Even the most extensive and
sophisticated non-destructive testing does not improve the quality of the product.
For products to be free from serious problems in production and in service, it is necessary to provide
controls, from the design phase, through material selection, into manufacture and subsequent
inspection. For example, poor design may create serious and costly difficulties in the workshop, on site,
or in service. Incorrect material selection may result in problems, such as cracking in welded joints.
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 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 manufacturers: establishment and maintenance of welding quality requirements;
— by committees drafting manufacturing codes or application standards: specification of welding
quality requirements;
— by organizations assessing welding quality performance, e.g. third parties, customers, or
manufacturers.
The ISO 3834 series 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.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 3834-1:2020(E)
Quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic

materials —
Part 1:
Criteria for the selection of the appropriate level of quality
requirements

1 Scope
This document provides a general outline of the ISO 3834 series and criteria to be taken into account
for the selection of the appropriate level of quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic
materials, among the three levels specified in ISO 3834-2[1], ISO 3834-3[2] and ISO 3834-4[3]. It applies
to manufacturing, both in workshops and at field installation sites.
NOTE 1 ISO 3834-2, ISO 3834-3 and ISO 3834-4 provide complete sets of quality requirements for process
control related to all fusion welding processes (for each process separately or in combination as specified).
ISO 3834-5 specifies the documents with which it is necessary to conform to claim conformity to the quality
requirements of ISO 3834-2, ISO 3834-3 or ISO 3834-4.
This document does not specify requirements for a total quality management system. However, Clause
6 identifies quality management system elements where their inclusion will complement ISO 3834.
NOTE 2 ISO 3834-2, ISO 3834-3 and ISO 3834-4 may be used on their own by a manufacturer or in conjunction
with ISO 9001:2015.
2 Normative references

4 General outline of ISO 3834

ISO 3834 specifies quality requirements suitable for fusion welding processes of metallic materials.
The requirements contained within this International Standard may be adopted for other welding
processes. These requirements relate only to those aspects of the quality of the products, which may be
influenced by fusion welding, without being assigned to any specific product group.
ISO 3834 therefore provides a method to demonstrate the capability of a manufacturer to produce
products of the specified quality.
It was prepared such that:
a) it is independent of the type of construction manufactured;
b) it defines quality requirements for welding in workshops and/or on site;
c) it provides guidance for describing a manufacturer's capability to produce constructions to meet
specified requirements;
d) it provides a basis for assessing a manufacturer’s welding capability.
ISO 3834 is appropriate when demonstration of a manufacturer's capability to produce welded
constructions, fulfilling specified quality requirements, is specified in one or more of the following:
a specification;
a product standard;
a regulatory requirement.
The requirements contained within this document may be adopted in full or may be selectively deleted
by the manufacturer if not applicable to the construction concerned. They provide a flexible framework
for the control of welding in the following applications.
— Case 1: To provide specific requirements in specifications which require the manufacturer to have
a quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001:2015 [5].
2 © ISO 2020 – All rights reserved

ISO/DIS 3834-1:2020(E)

— Case 2: To provide specific requirements in specifications which require the manufacturer to have
a quality management system other than ISO 9001:2015.
— Case 3: To provide specific guidance for a manufacturer developing a quality management system
for fusion welding.
— Case 4: To provide detailed requirements for specifications, regulations or product standards that
require control of fusion welding activities.
5 Selection of the appropriate level of quality requirements

The selection of the appropriate part of ISO 3834, specifying the required level of quality requirements,
should be in accordance with the product standard, specification, regulation or contract. Because
ISO 3834 may be used in a variety of situations and for different applications, definitive rules on the

level of quality requirements to be adopted in individual circumstances cannot be given in this clause.
ISO 3834 may be applied in a variety of situations. The manufacturer should select one of the three parts
specifying different levels of quality requirements, based on the following criteria related to products:
— the extent and significance of safety-critical products;
— the complexity of manufacture;
— the range of products manufactured;
— the range of different materials used;
— the extent to which metallurgical problems may occur;
— the extent to which manufacturing imperfections, e.g. misalignment, distortion or weld imperfection,
affect product performance.
A manufacturer that demonstrates compliance to a particular quality level is considered to have
established compliance to all lower levels without further demonstration, e.g. a manufacturer compliant
to comprehensive quality requirements (i.e. ISO 3834-2) demonstrates compliance with standard
quality requirements (i.e. ISO 3834-3) and elementary quality requirements (i.e. ISO 3834-4).
Annex A lists criteria which assist in the selection of the appropriate part of ISO 3834.
6 Processes to be considered for a quality management system to complement

ISO 3834
ISO 3834 contains many attributes that contribute to a quality management system (QMS). This clause
identifies those quality management system (QMS) processes that the manufacturer should consider
implementing to support the ISO 3834 quality requirements:
a) control of documents and records (see ISO 9001:2015, 7.5, Documented information);
b) management responsibilities (see ISO 9001:2015, 5.3, Organizational roles, responsibilities and
authorities);
c) provision of resources (see ISO 9001:2015, 7.1, Resources);
d) competence, awareness and training of operational personnel (see ISO 9001:2015, 7.2, Competence,
7.3, Awareness, and 10, Improvement);
e) planning of product realization (see ISO 9001:2015, 8.2, Requirements for products and services,
8.3, Design and development of products and services, 8.4, Control of externally provided
processes, products and services, 8.5 ,Production and service provision; and ISO 10005);

ISO/DIS 3834-1:2020(E)

f) determination of requirements related to the product (see ISO 9001:2015, 8.2.2 Determining the
requirements for products and services, and 8.2.4, Changes to requirements for products and
services);
g) review of requirements related to the product (see ISO 9001:2015, 8.2.3, Review of the requirements
for products and services);
h) purchasing (see ISO 9001:2015, 8.4,Control of externally provided processes, products and
services);
i) validation of processes (see ISO 9001:2015, 8.4, Control of externally provided processes, products
and services, 8.5.1, Control of production and service provision);
j) customer property (see ISO 9001:2015, 8.5.3, Property belonging to customers or external
providers);

k) internal audit (see ISO 9001:2015, 9.2, Internal audit);
l) monitoring and measurement of product (see ISO 9001:2015, 9.1.3, Analysis and evaluation);
m) Control of externally provided processes, products and services (see ISO 9001:2015, 8.4 ,Control of
externally provided processes, products and services);
n) Control of production and service provision (see ISO 9001:2015, 8.5.1, Control of production and
service provision);
ISO 9004:2015[6] provides guidance on the development and implementation of a quality
management system.
