Quality Standards

The document discusses quality standards that should be followed to develop a Fabrication Production Control Plan compliant with BS EN 1090 standards. These include adhering to material quality and traceability standards, welding procedure and qualification standards, documentation and record keeping standards, inspection and testing protocols, quality control management standards, CE marking compliance standards, health, safety, and environmental standards, training and competency standards, supplier and subcontractor management standards, and continuous improvement standards. Following these standards will ensure the plan is compliant with European norms for structural steel and aluminum components and will contribute to producing high quality fabricated products that meet regulatory requirements.

In developing a Fabrication Production Control Plan compliant with BS EN 1090 standards,

quality standards play a critical role in ensuring the fabrication processes meet the required
criteria. Here are some quality standards aligned with BS EN 1090 that would be pertinent to this
project:
 Material Quality and Traceability: Adherence to specified material quality standards
(e.g., BS EN ISO 3834) ensuring materials used meet required mechanical and chemical
properties. Maintain traceability of materials from procurement to fabrication stages.
 Welding Procedures and Qualifications: Implement welding procedures conforming to
BS EN ISO 15614-1 for the qualification of welding procedures and BS EN ISO 9606-1
for welder qualifications. Ensure welders and welding operators possess valid
certifications as per these standards.
 Documentation and Record-Keeping: Maintain comprehensive documentation in
accordance with BS EN 1090-2 requirements. This includes traceability records for
materials, welding procedures, inspections, tests, and quality control checks performed
during fabrication.
 Inspection and Testing Protocols: Adhere to inspection and testing requirements
outlined in BS EN 1090-2. This involves Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) procedures
(e.g., ultrasonic testing, visual inspection) and compliance with dimensional checks, weld
profiles, and surface conditions.
 Quality Control Management: Establish a quality management system (QMS) aligned
with BS EN ISO 9001 standards to manage fabrication processes, including document
control, internal audits, corrective actions, and continual improvement initiatives.
 Compliance with CE Marking: Ensure compliance with the CE marking requirements
specified in BS EN 1090-1. This involves demonstrating conformity with relevant
standards and issuing the Declaration of Performance (DoP) for structural steel
components.
 Health, Safety, and Environmental Standards: Incorporate health and safety
procedures conforming to BS EN ISO 3834-4 and environmental considerations aligned
with relevant regulations (e.g., BS EN ISO 14001) within the fabrication processes.
 Training and Competency: Provide ongoing training and development programs for
personnel involved in fabrication to ensure their competence in adhering to BS EN 1090
standards.
 Supplier and Subcontractor Management: Ensure suppliers and subcontractors
comply with relevant quality standards (BS EN ISO 9001, BS EN ISO 3834) and can
provide documentation to support material quality and fabrication processes.
 Continuous Improvement: Implement measures for continual improvement, aligning
with the principles of BS EN ISO 9001, to enhance fabrication processes, quality control,
and overall efficiency.
By aligning with these quality standards, specifically those outlined in the BS EN 1090 series,
the Fabrication Production Control Plan will ensure compliance with European norms for
structural steel and aluminum components, contributing to the production of high-quality
fabricated products while meeting regulatory requirements.
