KS Metal Fabrications continues its commitment to ISO 3834-2 Certification; 

Strengthening Quality Assurance for Welding Operations

KS Metal Fabrications, a leading Metal Fabricator in the Prefab Construction and HVAC sectors, today announced it has successfully renewed ISO 3834-2 certification for its welding quality management system.

This internationally recognised standard demonstrates KSMF's commitment to delivering exceptional welding quality and reinforces its position as a trusted partner for customers requiring the highest standards of bespoke fabrication.

Comprehensive Quality Framework

ISO 3834 establishes rigorous requirements for welding quality management systems.

The part 2 standard covers comprehensive quality requirements including personnel qualifications, implementation of detailed welding procedure specifications (WPS), equipment maintenance and process control specifications, welding inspection requirements, including establishment of comprehensive inspection and testing protocols, and documentation systems.  The certification validates KSMF's systematic approach to ensuring consistent, high-quality welding across all projects.

"ISO 3834-2 certification represented a significant milestone in our quality journey," said Liam Stratford, Responsible Welding Coordinator at KSMF.  "This certification renewal  demonstrates our unwavering commitment to manufacturing products that meet the most demanding specifications while providing our customers with complete confidence in our welding capabilities and our strict quality processes and procedures."

Direct Customer Benefits

The ISO 3834-2 certification delivers tangible advantages for KSMF's customers, including:

Enhanced Product Reliability: Systematic quality controls ensure consistent welding performance, reducing the risk of defects and extending product lifespan.

Reduced Project Risk: Comprehensive documentation and traceability protocols minimise potential delays and costly rework, supporting on-time project delivery.

Regulatory Compliance: The certification facilitates compliance with industry-specific standards and regulations, particularly in sectors such as Construction, Energy, Transport, and bespoke Prefab manufacturing.

Cost Efficiency: Improved first-time quality reduces warranty claims and maintenance requirements, delivering long-term value for customers.

Technical Assurance: Qualified welding personnel and validated procedures provide confidence in the structural integrity of all welded components.

Industry Impact

This certification positions KS Metal Fabrications to serve customers in regulated industries where ISO 3834-2 compliance is increasingly required. This includes infrastructure projects, prefab manufacturing, structural steelwork, and other applications where welding quality is critical to safety and performance.

"Our customers can now proceed with complete confidence that our welding operations meet the highest international standards," added Liam. "This certification opens new opportunities for collaboration on projects requiring verified quality management systems."
