Who needs it?
AS/NZS ISO 3834 is the Quality Requirements for Fusion Welding of Metallic Materials and is designed to provide guidance and compliance requirements for industries that engage in welding activities.
Can my organisation meet the requirements of the Standard?
The AWI has made meeting the requirements of the standard as simple as possible by providing a certification or compliance pathway based on industry recognised and well respected Australian Welding Qualifications.
These qualifications have been underpinning high quality Australian fabrication and welding for many years. Two of the leading Australian qualifications are listed below for the role of Welding Coordinator identified in the
AS/NZS ISO 3834 standard:
- AS 1796 Welding Supervisor Certificate 10
- AS 2214 Welding Supervisor, structural steelwork
International qualifications are also considered, and the individual is assessed on their evidence of skill and experience.
What are the benefits?
Many major clients and certain welding codes/standards require that companies manufacturing particular types of product must have appropriate quality assurance systems.
Using AS/NZS ISO 3834 is one of the more cost effective ways of meeting that requirement.
How do I get there?
AWI runs a process based on the Australian standards, working alongside registered training organisations in each state and territory. AWI does not deliver the training itself.
Welding fabricators can now implement with confidence AS/NZS ISO 3834 as part of their quality system or as a standalone process knowing they have access to an organisation that provides the quickest and most cost effective implementation pathway in Australia today.
These qualifications are recognised, relevant and understood by many Australian businesses in the fabrication and welding industry.
Both of these qualifications are readily available from the many TAFE’s and Registered Training Organisations (RTO’s) across the country.
The relevant Australian Welding Standards place significant emphasis on quality by stipulating that these qualifications are a vital part of the essential knowledge required for a person to show competency.
AWI can audit an existing quality system and can offer certification or compliance against AS/NZS ISO 3834, the quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials. Confirm the current edition of the standard before an audit is scoped. AWI is providing the Australian welding and fabrication industries a cost effective professional auditing and certification and compliance service that ensures industry meets the relevant standards.
