Quality management of structural welding fabrication
The introduction of the Steel Fabricator Certification (SFC) scheme in 2014 was an important milestone for NZ’s structural steel fabrication industry.
This half-day seminar will provide comprehensive insights on how to specify welding quality requirements, how a QA system such as the SFC is to be established, and how to verify compliance.
This seminar is a must for designers, structural, and site engineers, project managers and contractors, fabricators and welding inspectors who will benefit from an understanding of the SFC as well as those with QA and QC responsibilities in their role.
The Scheme ensures participating fabricators not only manufacture to the specified quality, but that they also have appropriate personnel and quality management systems in place that meet national and international best practice standards.
Weld quality is at the centre of the SFC scheme, and the welding quality management standard AS/NZS ISO 3834 and underlying fabrication standards AS/NZS 1554 and NZS 3404.1:2009 are the key certification planks.
The seminar is relevant to all people involved in procurement, the specifying of welding fabrication related quality requirements, setting-up a quality management system, and for those verifying compliance with the quality requirements. And, is presented by experts involved in auditing quality management systems.
