Main
ISO 14554-2:2013 specifies requirements for the demonstration of the capability of a manufacturer or a sub-contractor to produce welded constructions, fulfilling specified quality requirements, in one or more of the following: a) a contract between involved parties; b) an application standard; c) a regulatory requirement.
The requirements contained within ISO 14554-2:2013 can be adopted in full or can be selectively deleted by the manufacturer if not applicable to the construction concerned. They provide a flexible framework for the control of welding by providing specific requirments for:
1) Case 1 — resistance welding in contracts which require the manufacturer or sub-contractor to have a quality system other than ISO 9001 and where the documented welding control has a minor importance to the overall integrity of the final construction;
2) Case 2 — resistance welding as guidance to a manufacturer or sub-contractor developing a quality system;
3) Case 3 — references in application standards which use resistance welding as part of their requirements or in a contract between relevant parties.
ISO 14554-2:2013:
i) is independent of the type of welded construction to be manufactured;
ii) defines quality requirements for welding both in production plants and on site;
iii) provides guidance for describing the capability of a manufacturer to produce welded constructions to meet specified requirements;
iv) can also be used as a basis for assessing the manufacturer in respect to his welding capability.
For general guidelines for selection and use, see ISO 3834-1, while being aware that only comprehensive and elementary requirements are specified for resistance welding. An annex gives a summary comparison of specific quality requirements for resistance welding in ISO 14554-2:2013 and ISO 14554-1.
