the research group SG212 (The
Physics of welding), working groups
WG-RA (Regional Activities) and WG -
STAND (Standardization).
Kazakhstan delegation also participated
in the plenary meetings of the
International Scientific Conference, as
well as in the sections "Heavy Industry",
"Automotive Industry" and "Production
of electronic equipment" dedicated to
advanced welding technologies.
Kazakhstan delegation also got
acquainted
in detail with the poster
presentations shown at the conference.
One of the goals of the Kazakhstan
Welding Association «KazWeld» is to
increase the quality and
competitiveness of welding production
in the Republic of Kazakhstan. This
goal can not be achieved only by
improving the quality of training
program for the welding personnel. It is
also necessary to improve the level and
quality of the welding fabrication,
welding stations and to equip
workshops with modern equipment, to
introduce advanced technological
welding processes, to raise the
requirements for the implementation of
manufacturing instructions and
procedures, to strengthen the control
over the welding coordination, to
introduce a system of certification of
welding personnel.
Nowadays the system of international
certification of welding production
complying with ISO 3834 are widely
used in many developed countries. The
ISO 3834 specifies the requirements for
a quality performance of fusion welding
of metallic materials, including the
requirements for welding personnel,
welding inspectors, equipment, welding
and related activities, welding materials,
storage of basic materials, heat
treatment after welding, inspection and
tests, discrepancies and corrective
actions; calibration and validation of
measuring, testing and control of
equipment; identification and
traceability; reports and quality.
In the near future in the Republic of
Kazakhstan it is planned to introduce
the national standards ST RK ISO
15609, ST RK ISO 15613, 17660 ST
RK ISO, ST RK EN 15085 ST RK and
others which impose the technical
requirements for the certification of
welding procedures for metallic
materials as well as manufacturing
companies.
Because of this important issue, the
Kazakhstan Welding Association
«KazWeld» applied to the International
Authorization Board (IAB) of the
International Institute of Welding (IIW)
to provide it with the authority to
introduce the Manufacturer Certification
System in Welding in the Republic of
Kazakhstan. At the 67th General
Assembly of the IIW which was held on
July 13 -18, 2014 in Seoul (South
Korea), Kazakhstan got the status of
ANBCC Applicant (Authorized National
Body for Company Certification), and in
November - preliminary authorization to
assess the manufacturers complying
with ISO 3834.
The obtaining of the full authorization
which is scheduled for next year will
allow performing the important national
task of manufacturer certification by
domestic experts without the
involvement of foreign certification
bodies.
ANBCC - KAZAKHSTAN (Authorized National Body for Company Certification)
On November 19, 2014 Kazakhstan Welding Association “KazWeld” on behalf of the Republic of Kazakhstan
got IIW preliminary authorization on the Company Certification complying with ISO 3834
