DIN EN ISO 3834/ DIN EN 1090

WHAT IS

ISO 3834?

DIN EN ISO 3834

DIN EN ISO 3834, short ISO 3834, defines quality requirements for manufacturers and describes basics of quality assurance for fusion welded materials. 

ISO 3834 is not focused on a specific form of welding or specific materials; it encompasses all forms of welding in all fields of application. It covers all applications of welding, from one off production, mass production and maintenance to assembly. ISO 3834 is a prerequisite for a certification based on DIN 1090 and can be certified in one swoop with a quality management system based on ISO 9001. This offers the advantage that a planned, systematic, quality management system will be implemented into your organisation, instead of a system that is solely focussed on welding. This allows you to create a unified level of quality understanding throughout your organisation.

WHAT IS

DIN 1090?

DIN EN 1090

DIN EN ISO 1090 regulates the internal proof of conformity for load bearing structural components made of steel or aluminium. As of  01.07.2014, your organisation is required to ensure that such products bear the CE marking when offered in the EU market, in accordance with The Construction Products Regulation (CPR). In order to receive the CE marking, an accredited certification in accordance with DIN EN 1090 is necessary. For your organisation to receive an accredited certification in accordance with DIN EN 1090, it has to include the higher-level standard ISO 3834.

ISO 3834

Overview

ISO 3834 et seq. outlines general requirements for quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials. It also establishes criteria for the selection of appropriate quality requirements. These are defined in ISO 3834-2 to ISO 3834-4. The outlined quality requirements in these sections describe preparation, implementation and post-processing of the welding process, requirements for the welding personnel, as well as instructions for correct storing of materials. Following completion of the product, the individual ISO 3834 also describes quality control tasks: procedures, monitoring, analysis, correcting and traceability. These requirements are also part of a management system in accordance with ISO 9001 and are therefore easy to integrate. Furthermore, ISO 3834 provides the basis for conformity with the requirements of DIN 1090.

DIN 1090

Basis for a CE Marking

DIN 1090 describes the internal conformity assessment procedure for load bearing structural components in regards to steel and aluminium structures. This conformity assessment procedure encompasses requirements and the assessment process for various areas that your organisation has to take into consideration. These include, amongst others, the appraisal of the weldability, load-bearing capacity, fire resistance and the combustion behaviour of the structure in question. Furthermore, requirements for the process in regards to personnel and how to deal with potential corrective measures. 

These aspects of DIN 1090 have to be fulfilled to receive the CE marking for your products and therefore be able to distribute your products within the EU legally.
