Certification: securing welding quality

Ensuring welding quality is a crucial aspect within companies where welding is an essential part of the production process. It refers to the process of ensuring and maintaining high standards and norms to ensure that products or processes meet the expectations of customers and other stakeholders. There are several ways to ensure welding quality and make it traceable.

Welders qualification

With a welder qualification, you can demonstrate that the welders in your welding company have the right skills to weld qualitatively and safely. It is increasingly common for welding activities to have to meet certain quality requirements.

Elektrolas is authorised by the Netherlands Institute for Welding Technology (NIL) and carries out welder method qualifications according to European and American standards. This gives you absolute certainty about the quality of the welding work in your welding company.

Welding Procedure Qualification

With a welding method qualification, you demonstrate that your welding method achieves the correct mechanical value. Do you have a new welding method in your welding company? Then you need a welding method qualification to meet your welding quality requirements. 

By having every welding method in the company qualified, your welding company's customers will know that the quality of the welded work is up to scratch. In Europe and America, welding work must meet strict quality requirements. Elektrolas is authorised to carry out welding method qualification for both European and American standards.

ISO 3834 certification

ISO 3834 certification is important to demonstrate that your welding company or welding department meets the necessary quality requirements. As a company, you can demonstrate this by setting up a quality system and having it certified. ISO 3834 certification is increasingly required by clients of welding companies.

Would you like ISO 3834 certification but do not know where to start? Elektrolas always starts with a QuickScan to identify what is already covered and what is not. After performing this QuickScan, we will have precisely mapped out the actions required to achieve a certified quality management system.

EN 1090

Since 1 July 2014, standard EN 1090 has been legally in force. This means that it is compulsory to CE mark both steel and aluminium structures and their components. A CE marking is a manufacturer's declaration that the products comply with all structural requirements set out in the corresponding product standard(s). CE marking indicates that the product complies with the applicable EC directives.
