Review of Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Joint Australian/New Zealand Standards are subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by theissue of amendments or new editions as necessary. It is important therefore thatStandards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edition, and anyamendments thereto.Full details of all Joint Standards and related publications will be found in the StandardsAustralia and Standards New Zealand Catalogue of Publications; this information issupplemented each month by the magazines ‘The Australian Standard’ and ‘StandardsNew Zealand’, which subscribing members receive, and which give details of newpublications, new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.Suggestions for improvements to Joint Standards, addressed to the head office of eitherStandards Australia or Standards New Zealand, are welcomed. Notification of anyinaccuracy or ambiguity found in a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard should bemade without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate actiontaken.

This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 97143.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand CommitteeWD/3, Welding of Structures.

This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from ISO 3834-3:1994. InformativeAppendices I to VII have been added.

This Standard is one of a series dealing with quality requirements for welding purposes. The seriesconsists of the following Standards:

AS/NZSISO 3834 Quality requirements for welding—Fusion welding of metallic materialsISO 3834.1 Part 1: Guidelines for selection and useISO 3834.2 Part 2: Comprehensive quality requirementsISO 3834.3 Part 3: Standards quality requirements (this Standard)ISO 3834.4 Part 4: Elementary quality requirements

The objective of this AS/NZS ISO 3834 series is to specify quality requirements for fusion weldingof metallic materials and to provide guidance on quality management systems for fabrication,manufacture, construction and maintenance using such processes and materials.

This Standard also provides for the use of Australian, New Zealand or other Standards asequivalents to the ISO Standards referenced in Clause 2. These equivalents are listed for thefollowing applications:

(a) For welding steel structures (e.g. structural steels, stainless steels, steel studs, reinforcing bars,castings) to Australian or New Zealand Standards, see Appendix I.

(b) For welding steel structures to American Standards, see Appendix II.

(c) For welding aluminium structures, see Appendix III.

(d) For welding pressure equipment to Australian or New Zealand Standards, see Appendix IV.

(e) For welding pressure equipment to American Standards, see Appendix V.

(f) For welding pipelines, see Appendix VI.

Appendix VII gives a correlation of clauses herein with those of AS/NZS ISO 9001 andAS/NZS ISO 9002, where compliance with AS/NZS ISO 9001 or AS/NZS ISO 9002 involvingwelding is required.

Where AS/NZS ISO 3834.3 is referred to in a Standard, contract or other document, it is intendedthat either the ISO Standards referred to or the appropriate Standards listed below, or in theAppendices, be used.

AUSTRALIAN/NEW ZEALAND STANDARD

Quality requirements for welding — Fusion weldingof metallic materials —

Part 3:Standards quality requirements

1 Scope

This part of ISO 3834 has been prepared suchthat

— it is independent of the type of weldedconstruction to be manufactured;

— if defines quality requirements for welding bothin workshops and on-site;

— it provides guidance for describing amanufacturer’s capability to produce weldedconstructions to meet specified requirements;

— it may also be used as a basis for assessingthe manufacturer with respect to his weldingcapability.

This part of ISO 3834 is appropriate whendemonstration of a manufacturer’s capability toproduce welded constructions and to fulfillspecified quality requirements, are specified inone or more of the following:

— a contract between involved parties;

— an application standard;

— a regulatory requirement.

The requirements contained within this part ofISO 3834 may be adopted in full or may beselectively deleted by the manufacturer if notapplicable to the construction concerned. Theyprovide a flexible framework for the control ofwelding in the following cases:

Case 1

To provide specific requirements for fusionwelding in contracts which require themanufacturer to have a quality system other thanISO 9001 or ISO 9002;

Case 2

To provide specific requirements for fusionwelding as guidance to a manufacturer developinga quality system;

Case 3

To provide specific requirements for references inapplication standards which uses fusion weldingas part of its requirements or in a contractbetween relevant parties. It may however be moreappropriate for ISO 3834-4 to be used in suchcases.

2 Normative references

The following standards contain provisions which,through reference in this text, constitute provisionsof this part of ISO 3834. At the time of publication,the editions indicated were valid. All standards aresubject to revision, and parties to agreementsbased on this part of ISO 3834 are encouraged toinvestigate the possibility of applying the mostrecent editions of the standards indicated below.Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers ofcurrently valid international Standards.

shall affirm his capability to meet all weldingcontract requirements and ensure adequateplanning of all quality related activities. The itemsin 4.2 are typically considered at or before thetime of the contract review. The items in 4.3usually form part of the design review and shouldbe taken into account during the contract review ifthe design is not carried out by the fabricator. Itshall be ensured that all relevant information hasbeen supplied by the purchaser.

When a contract does not exist, e.g. items madefor stock, the manufacturer is required to take intoconsideration the requirements of 4.2 whilstcarrying out his design review (4.3).

4.2 Application — Contract review

Contractual requirements to be considered shouldinclude, when necessary:

a) the application standard to be used, togetherwith any supplementary requirements;

b) the specification of welding procedures,nondestructive testing procedures and heattreatment procedures;

c) the approach to be used for welding procedureapproval;

d) the approval of personnel;

e) post-weld heat treatment;

f) inspection and testing;

g) selection, identification andlor traceability, e.g.for materials, welders and welds (seeclause 15);

h) quality control arrangements, including anyinvolvement of an independent inspectionbody;

i) other welding requirements, e.g. batch testingof consumables, ferrite content of weld metal,ageing, hydrogen content;

j) environmental conditions relevant to weldingon site, e.g. very low temperature ambientconditions or any necessity to provideprotection against adverse weather conditions;

k) subcontracting;

l) handling of nonconformances.

4.3 Application — Design review

Design requirements to be considered shouldinclude, when necessary:

1) To be published.

— any intermediate examination, e.g. checkingdimensions.

13.4 Inspection and testing after welding

After welding, the compliance with relevantacceptance criteria shall be checked, whennecessary:

— by visual inspection;

— by non-destructive testing, e.g. in accordancewith ISO 9712;

— by destructive testing according to relevantISO standards;

— form, shape and dimensions of the weldedconstruction;

— results and records of post-weld operations,e.g. grinding, post-weld heat treatment, ageing.

13.5 Inspection and testing status

Measures shall be taken as appropriate toindicate, e.g. by marking of the item or a routeingcard, the status of inspection and test of thewelded construction.

14 Nonconformance and correctiveaction

Measures shall be implemented to control itemswhich do not conform to specified requirements inorder to prevent their inadvertent use. Whenrepair and/or rectification is undertaken by themanufacturer, appropriate procedures should beavailable at all workstations where repair orrectification is performed.
