General welding, brazing and soldering

These general standards are an important supplement to the more specific welding standards published by BSI British Standards. They cover areas such as terminology and definitions used in welding, environmental considerations and quality requirements.

PD CEN ISO/TR 3834-6:2007
Quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials. Guidelines on implementing ISO 3834


PD CEN ISO/TR 3834-6:2007 gives guidelines for the implementation of requirements given in the other parts of BS EN ISO 3834, and is intended to help manufacturers and users select the part of BS EN ISO 3834 appropriate to their needs. It is expected that they will already be familiar with BS EN ISO 3834 series as a whole.

Welding is a special process in that the final result may not be able to be verified by testing. The quality of the weld is manufactured into the product, not inspected. This means that welding normally requires continuous control or that specific procedures be followed, or both. BS EN ISO 3834 deals with quality requirements in welding and has been prepared in order to identify those controls and procedures.
