Certificate ČSN EN ISO 9001:2016

Due to constantly increasing demands on management systems in organisations the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) developed ISO 9000 series of quality management system standards. These standards were adopted as European ones and subsequently also as Czech technical standards.

The ISO 9001 standard specifies requirements for quality management system which organisations can use for internal application, certification or for contractual purposes in contracts concluded with suppliers and customers. It is used in certification for an independent assessment of organisation's ability to meet requirements of ČSN EN ISO 9001:2016 standard for assessment of customers, for assessment of compliance with regulations, its own requirements set forth to achieve efficiency of all processes and a constant improvement of the quality management system.

Certification of Quality Management Systems for welding according to ČSN EN ISO 3834-2:2006

Generally, certification of the quality management system for welding is intended for all organisations manufacturing welded products. The advantage of the welding process certification by an independent third party is significant particularly in products falling under conformity assessment for their „CE marking“, such as welded structures, welding to order, lifts, pressure, gas and hoisting equipment, or in case of suppliers to the automotive industry where this certificate can be used.

Welding is considered to be a special process, the result of which cannot always be verified by testing after completing the welding. Consequently, weld quality must be assured during manufacture rather than by testing the finished product. Control of the welding processes in compliance with ISO 3834-2 assures that weld quality of the finished product meets the specified criteria.
