Provides specific requirements for fusion welding in contracts which require the manufacturer to have a quality system in accordance with ISO 9001 or ISO 9002; specific requirements for fusion welding in contracts which require the manufacturer to have a quality system other than ISO 9001 or ISO 9002; specific requirements for fusion welding as guidance to a manufacturer developing a quality system; and specific requirements for references in application Standards which use fusion welding as part of their requirements or in a contract between relevant parties. This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from ISO 3834-2:1994.

This part of ISO 3834 has been prepared such that- it is independent of the type of welded construction to be manufactured;- it defines quality requirements for welding both in workshops and on site;- it provides guidance for describing a manufacturer's capability to produce welded constructions to meet specified requirements;- it may also be used as a basis for assessing the manufacturer with respect to his welding capability.This part of ISO 3834 is appropriate when demonstration of a manufacturer's capability to produce welding constructions and to fulfill specified quality requirements, are specified in one or more of the following:- a contract between involved parties;- an application standard;- a regulatory requirement.The requirements contained within this part of ISO 3834 may be adopted in full or may be selectively deleted by the manufacturer if not applicable to the construction concerned. They provide a flexible framework for the control of welding in the following cases:Case 1To provide specific requirements for fusion welding in contracts which require the manufacturer to have a quality system in accordance with ISO 9001 or ISO 9002.Case 2To provide specific requirements for fusion welding in contracts which require the manufacturer to have a quality system other than ISO 9001 or ISO 9002.Case 3To provide specific requirements for fusion welding as guidance to a manufacturer developing a quality system.Case 4To provide specific requirements for references in application standards which uses fusion welding as part of its requirements or in a contract between relevant parties. It may however be more appropriate for ISO 3834-3 or ISO 3834-4 to be used in such cases.
