HPiVS is accredited by INAB to issue ISO 3834 certification, enabling manufacturers and fabricators to demonstrate compliance with one of the world’s leading quality standards for welding.
We can carry out ISO 3834 audits as a standalone service or in conjunction with our other certification services to streamline the process and help reduce duplication, time, and costs.
Do I need ISO 3834 certification?
ISO 3834, Quality Requirements for Fusion Welding of Metallic Materials, is an internationally recognised standard that provides a comprehensive framework for managing welding quality throughout the manufacturing process. Certification demonstrates that a company has the appropriate personnel, procedures, equipment, and quality controls in place to consistently produce high-quality welded products.
It is not mandatory. However, for manufacturers operating in sectors such as structural steel, pressure equipment, energy, marine, and general engineering, ISO 3834 certification offers significant commercial and operational advantages, including:
· Greater confidence in the quality and consistency of welded products.
· Improved compliance with customer, regulatory, and contractual requirements.
· Enhanced opportunities to tender for domestic and international projects where ISO 3834 certification is specified.
· Reduced risk of welding defects, rework, and associated costs.
· Demonstrable commitment to continual improvement and best practice.
· Increased customer confidence through independent third-party certification.
As supply chains continue to demand higher levels of quality assurance and traceability, ISO 3834 certification has become an increasingly valuable way for manufacturers to differentiate themselves and remain competitive in both UK and global markets.
HPiVS’s global team of experienced inspectors will advise you of the most appropriate level of certification for your business needs. We can carry out the ISO 3834 audit either on its own or alongside essential RCD and PED Modules E/E1, D/D1, H/H1 audits, which can save your business duplication, time, and money.
