Get welded assemblies with the quality records your project needs.
From our Smithfield, NSW facility, KS Metal Fabrications supports infrastructure, industrial and mechanical services projects across Australia. Share your drawings and welding requirements early so we can confirm scope, inspections and handover records before fabrication starts.
ISO 3834-2 sets comprehensive quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials in workshops and at field installation sites. It covers how a fabricator reviews requirements, plans and controls welding, inspects the work and retains quality records.
Certification applies to the fabricator’s defined scope. Ask for the current certificate and check that it covers the work you are procuring.
Check your tender, contract and technical specification first. Part 2 is relevant when the project expressly calls for comprehensive welding quality requirements or when your team needs documented controls for complex or high-consequence welded assemblies. Examples include equipment skids, support frames and prefabricated assemblies for transport, utilities and industrial projects. Confirm the applicable requirements with the project team.
Organisation-wide quality management, including how the business manages processes, customer requirements and improvement.
Comprehensive quality requirements specific to fusion welding, including technical review, procedures, personnel, inspection and records.
Agree the document register at quote stage. Depending on the specification and the agreed scope, it may include:
KS maintains ISO 9001 and ISO 3834 Part 2 certification. Our Smithfield facility brings together TIG, MIG and laser welding with cutting, CNC bending and prefabricated assembly. Send us the material grades, drawings and project requirements so we can confirm which processes and documentation suit your job.
Whether Part 2 is required depends on the contract, technical specification and applicable requirements. Confirm the required quality level and certification evidence before selecting a supplier.
ISO 3834 Part 2 addresses how welding quality is managed. The AS/NZS 1554 series sets technical requirements for structural steel welding within the scope of its relevant parts. Where both apply, confirm the applicable part, weld category, inspection and acceptance criteria with the project team.
Send drawings, quantities, material grades, applicable welding standards, inspection requirements, documentation needs and delivery dates. Flag any third-party inspection or hold points at tender stage.
Send your drawings and specification so we can review the fabrication scope, inspection requirements and handover documentation with you.
