D. Hofe Fon¹, B. Schambach²

¹DVS, Germany
²DIN, Germany

Abstract
History of development of the quality management system standards of the ISO 9000 series a nd degree of their conformity with later standards ISO 3834:1994 and EN 729:1994 are considered. Priorities related to revision of standard ISO 3834 in terms of acceptance of improved standard ISO TC44 SC «Unification of Requirements in the Field of Metal Welding» are noted.
Keywords: fusion welding, resistance welding, quality standard, revision of standard, welding production, quality level
