Help with ISO 3834 requirements
Has a customer or contract asked you to meet ISO 3834 requirements? PWC helps businesses Australia-wide prepare for ISO 3834 parts 2, 3 and 4. Send us the request so we can discuss the support you need.
What is ISO 3834?
ISO 3834 sets quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials. PWC supports businesses working towards parts 2, 3 and 4. Our founder is an ISO 3834 Internal Auditor.
Meeting ISO 3834 can help your business:
- show compliance with internationally recognised welding quality requirements
- reduce rework and complete jobs on time
- coordinate welding activities more efficiently
- bid for work that names ISO 3834
Start with what your customer needs
Share the relevant part of the tender, contract or customer request. Include your deadline and any records you already have.
Build on what is already in place
The starting point is your current work and records. From there, we can discuss the gaps, the help needed and the tasks your business will handle.
Gap analysis
We review your welding procedures, welder records and inspection records against the ISO 3834 part your customer requires, and explain which parts need more work.
Documentation
We help prepare the agreed documents and explain to your staff which records they will use and who keeps them up to date.
Internal audit support
Our founder is an ISO 3834 Internal Auditor. We review the agreed preparation tasks with you before the external audit.
Be clear about the work and the certificate
Before starting, agree on who does each task and what documents will be delivered. If certification is required, the organisation responsible for assessing and issuing it must also be clear.
Know who does each part
PWC prepares your business and documents compliance. An independent accredited certification body carries out the external audit and issues the certificate.
Your business puts the agreed processes into practice and keeps the records. Our quote explains our role and any work or fees handled separately.
