Weld Australia announced a major milestone with the certification of Griffin Marine Services as the 100th company to achieve the AS/NZS ISO 3834 Quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials.
This milestone highlights the growing importance of the certification in driving quality, safety, and productivity across Australia’s manufacturing and fabrication sectors, the organisation said in a news release.
Geoff Crittenden, CEO of Weld Australia, stressed the certification’s role in upholding high industry standards.
“Achieving AS/NZS ISO 3834 certification is a testament to a company’s commitment to excellence. It ensures products meet rigorous international standards, which is crucial for public safety and the reliability of infrastructure,” Crittenden said.
The AS/NZS ISO 3834 certification, recognised globally as the benchmark for quality in fusion welding, requires companies to maintain strict control over the entire welding process, from design to inspection.
By adhering to these standards, companies like Griffin Marine Services demonstrate their capability in producing compliant welded products, minimising the risk of errors and ensuring quality outcomes.
Crittenden highlighted the broader benefits of this certification, noting that its adoption has led to greater efficiency, reduced waste, and shorter production times, ultimately resulting in cost savings.
He also emphasised how the certification fosters a culture of continuous improvement, with a direct impact on the technical knowledge of personnel across all levels of the business.
The benefits of the AS/NZS ISO 3834 certification extend beyond the industry, as weld quality plays a critical role in the construction of safe infrastructure, such as bridges, buildings, and vehicles.
“The public can rest assured knowing that infrastructure projects delivered by AS/NZS ISO 3834 certified companies are built to last, with a focus on safety and performance,” said Crittenden.
