Welding fabrication standards are interrelated: EN 1090 and EN 15085 rely on EN ISO 3834 quality requirements, and EN ISO 3834 relies on EN ISO 14731 welding coordination. By treating these standards as one integrated structure rather than separately, we reduce duplicate documentation and audit burden.
Scope
- Adapting standard requirements to company processes and an integrated welding quality manual
- Welding coordinator competence evidence, job descriptions and authority matrix
- WPQR range analysis: which fabrications are covered by existing qualifications, planning of missing procedure tests
- Welder certificate matrix and revalidation tracking
- Equipment calibration/validation (EN ISO 17662), consumable storage and baking
- Internal audits, pre-audits and accompaniment during certification/surveillance audits
- Scope extension (new material group, EXC class, certification level)
