UNI EN 1090 certification concerns manufacturers of steel or aluminum structures, such as metal carpentry, which are obliged (starting from 1 July 2014) to bear the CE marking according to the UNI EN 1090-1 standard.

The standard defined by ISO 3834 defines the necessary requirements that manufacturers must satisfy to operate towards good manufacturing practice, implementing the production process with the improvements necessary to correct any critical issues recorded. For companies interested in welder certification established by the criteria of Uni 3834, it is necessary to contact a certifying body accredited by the Italian Organization Authorized by the European Welding Federation (EWF) and by the International Institute of Welding (IIW) for the issue of the aforementioned certification , concerning the aspects that involve both the quality of the welding process, as well as the safety and environmental aspects that are protected by the 3834 certification as well as by other certificates of the ISO regulation.

Obviously Iso 3834 is useful in the context of European directives such as PED, CPD, Simple Containers. Finally, we remind you that this welding certification is mandatory for civil engineering works. Certified companies are included in the list on the website of the authorized training body and on that of the EWF, representing a further guarantee of benefits and job opportunities for companies operating in the sector.
