Code of Conduct
ISO 3834
The ISO 3834-2 certificate guarantees all quality requirements of qualified welding work for clients within Priema. ISO 3834-2 is an international quality assurance system for fusion welding processes. Welding is a special process that involves many risks. It is therefore logical that our clients set requirements for this. The certification is almost always required by clients in all markets such as defense, offshore, automotive, rail infrastructure and the petrochemical industry.
Within our quality system, the tasks and responsibilities surrounding welding activities are clear. A prominent role in this is performed by a welding coordinator. The tasks of the welding coordinator relate to determining the correct welding methods, welding qualifications, preparation, production, coordination, equipment, traceability, process monitoring, inspection and control of the welding process.
With the ISO 3834-2 certificate, Priema meets the strictest criteria within this standard and therefore also all ISO 3834 requirements of our clients for black steel, non-ferrous and aluminum welding.
IATF 16949
IATF 16949 is based on ISO 9001 and has been supplemented with sector-specific requirements to structurally guarantee correct prioritization and to achieve a process of continuous improvement using a number of proven methods. The ultimate goal of IATF 16949 is to increase the delivery reliability and reduce the cost level in the entire chain through continuous improvement of quality, effectiveness and efficiency. All Priema locations are certified according to this standard.
