management system developments
for a several standards
CE Mark EN 1090-1
Factory Production Control in Compliance with EN 1090 in accordance with CPR.
The Construction Products Regulation (CPR) has established harmonized standards in order to standardize the quality control of construction product manufacturing, guarantee free trade and ensure the unlimited use of qualified products within the European Union.
BS EN ISO 3834
EN ISO 3834 describes the requirements for a factory control system aimed specifically at fabricators and welding compliance to a set of standards.
EN ISO 3834 It is not an overriding quality management system but a system for the control of welding requirements that can be incorporated in to a current or intended manufacturing process to demonstrate a process driven manufacturing and inspection method that is integral to factory production control systems such as EN 1090 and EN 15085.
ISO 3834 can also benefit fabrication companies operating a ISO 9001 system where the company wish to implement and demonstrate a control of fabrication and welding function as a special process.
BS EN 15085
Manufacturer certification in accordance with EN 15085; Railway Applications – Welding of Railway Vehicles and Components, is being increasingly required by specifiers and customers of components, sub-assemblies and vehicles.
The Certification for Welding of Railway Vehicles and Components scheme demonstrates a manufacturer’s competence for control of welding quality in production of
railway vehicles and components and as a result is becoming a pre-qualification requirement.
Compliance to EN 15085 certification is evidence that your operations meet the railway industry’s European standard for consistency and high quality in fusion welding of materials within the manufacture and maintenance of railway vehicles, associated components and parts.
The EN 15085 standard series applies to the design, manufacturing, testing and conformity assessment of welded railway vehicles, components and assemblies.
It sets out the requirements for the quality system, welding process approvals, as well as performance qualifications for the Responsible Welding Co-ordinator, welder and welding operator.
