FUSION WELDING:-
Fusion welding is a special process in the manufacturing companies. The products may range from
simple to complex. These processes exert a profound influence on the cost of manufacture and
quality of product. It is important to ensure that these processes are carried out in the most effective
way and that appropriate control is exercised over all aspects of operation. ISO 3834-2/HP0 is an
effective tool in this regard along with ISO 9001:2015; this emphasizes the requirements to meet the
quality of the product.
PURPOSE
This Manual has been evolved for formulating the organization, responsibilities, & policies of Cheema
Boilers Limited for implementing the EN ISO 3834-2 (Quality requirements for fusion welding of
metallic materials) at all fabricated components of boilers, including steel structure.
SCOPE
This part of ISO 3834 defines comprehensive quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic
materials both in workshops and at field installation sites.
