EVS-EN ISO 3834-6:2024

ISO 3834-6 gives guidelines for the implementation of requirements given in the other parts of the ISO 3834 series. It is intended to help users select the appropriate part of the ISO 3834 series. Welding is a special process in that it is not always possible to verify the result 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 to be followed, or both.

The ISO 3834 series deals with quality requirements in welding and has been prepared to identify those controls and procedures. It is expected that users will already be familiar with the series.

The series 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 to other welding and welding-related processes.

The text of ISO 3834-6:2024 has been approved in Europe as EN ISO 3834-6:2024 without any changes.
