Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
In exceptional circumstances, when a technical committee has collected data of a different kind from that
which is normally published as an International Standard (“state of the art”, for example), it may decide by a
simple majority vote of its participating members to publish a Technical Report. A Technical Report is entirely
informative in nature and does not have to be reviewed until the data it provides are considered to be no
longer valid or useful.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/TR 3834-6 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and allied processes,
Subcommittee SC 10, Unification of requirements in the field of metal welding.
ISO/TR 3834 consists of the following parts, under the general title Quality requirements for fusion welding of
metallic materials:
⎯ Part 1: Criteria for the selection of the appropriate level of quality requirements
⎯ Part 2: Comprehensive quality requirements
⎯ Part 3: Standard quality requirements
⎯ Part 4: Elementary quality requirements
⎯ Part 5: Documents with which it is necessary to conform to claim conformity to the quality requirements of
ISO 3834-2, ISO 3834-3 or ISO 3834-4
⎯ Part 6: Guidelines on implementing ISO 3834 [Technical Report]
Requests for official interpretations of any aspect of this part of ISO 3834 should be directed to the Secretariat
of ISO/TC 44/SC 10 via your national standards body, a complete listing of which can be found at

ISO/TR 3834-6:2007(E)
Introduction
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. ISO 3834 deals with quality requirements in welding
and has been prepared in order to identify those controls and procedures.
ISO 3834 is not a quality system standard intended to take the place of ISO 9001, but a useful, additional tool
for use when ISO 9001 is applied by manufacturers, in which case the meeting of its requirements needs to
be recorded in certificates or documentation. However, ISO 3834 can be used independently of ISO 9001.
ISO 3834 is intended for the fusion welding of metallic materials, and its application is independent of the
products manufactured. However, its principles and many of its detailed requirements are also relevant for
other welding and welding-related processes.
Among other International Standards covering resistance welding and thermal spraying are ISO 14554 and
ISO 14922, respectively.
One of the aims of ISO 3834 is to define requirements in the field of welding so that contracting parties or
regulators do not have to do this themselves. A reference to a particular part of ISO 3834 should be sufficient
to demonstrate the capabilities of the manufacturer to control welding activities for the type of work being done.
This concept also applies to committees responsible for drafting product standards.
ISO 3834 does not in itself require external assessment or certification. However, assessments by customers
and certification by independent bodies are growing trends in commercial relations and the standard can
serve as a basis for these purposes, as well as for the demonstration of performance by those manufacturers
implementing it.
