Research On Establishing Correlations Between The Requirements Of EN ISO 9001:2015 And EN ISO 3834-2:2021 Standards For Welded Structure Manufacturing Organizations

Abstract

The main objective of the quality management system is to satisfy the requirements of customers, to generate their confidence in the ability of an organization to permanently satisfy their requirements, needs and expectations. According to an ISO survey published in September 2022, worldwide, the most frequently used standard by organizations within their management system is EN ISO 9001:2015. Welded structure manufacturing organizations that use fusion welding processes often aim to implement quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials, therefore, most often, they want to implement the EN ISO 3834-2:2021 standard. In the paper, the authors identified the correspondence between the requirements of the two references, including the presentation of some situations identified as non-conformities during an internal audit that had as audit criteria, among others, the requirements of the two standards, EN ISO 9001:2015 and EN ISO 3834 -2:2021. The final aim of the paper was to facilitate the integration of the EN ISO 3834-2:2021 standard requirements within the organizations that have already implemented EN ISO 9001:2015.
