Welding Quality and Management Systems at Floandre
CEB provided Floandre with consultancy on ISO 3834, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, covering welding quality requirements, quality management and environmental management.
Three complementary areas of responsibility for a metalworking business: how welding is controlled, how quality is managed and how environmental impacts are addressed.

ABOUT FLOANDRE
Floandre Metalic S.R.L. is based in Fălciu, Vaslui County, Romania. Its activities include manufacturing metal structures for residential and non-residential construction.
For a business working with metal structures, product quality depends on both technical production controls and the way day-to-day activities are managed.
CEB's consultancy engagement covered ISO 3834, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Each addresses a different part of that picture, from welding-specific requirements to wider quality and environmental management.
QSCert's public register also lists Floandre under ISO 3834 for its metal-structure manufacturing activities.
Three Standards, Connected Responsibilities
Floandre's engagement with CEB brought welding quality, quality management and environmental management into the same consultancy scope.
These areas meet in everyday production: customer requirements inform the work, welding needs appropriate controls, and manufacturing activities carry environmental responsibilities.
Together, these standards connect the technical demands of welding with the wider responsibilities of running a manufacturing business.

Standards in Focus
ISO 3834
Quality requirements specific to the fusion welding of metallic materials.
ISO 9001
A management-system framework for consistent quality and customer requirements.
ISO 14001
A management-system framework for environmental responsibilities and improvement.
CEB's role
Consultancy across the three standards within Floandre's engagement.
ISO 9001: Quality Beyond the Weld
CEB's work with Floandre included consultancy on ISO 9001, the quality management system standard.
ISO 9001 looks at the organisation as a whole. It connects customer requirements with the processes used to deliver products and services, with an emphasis on consistent performance and continual improvement.
For metal-structure manufacturing, this provides the wider management context around production. Welding-specific requirements remain a distinct technical consideration under ISO 3834.

ISO 14001: Environmental Responsibility in Production
ISO 14001 was the environmental management component of CEB's consultancy scope for Floandre.
The standard provides a structured way for an organisation to understand and manage the environmental aspects of its activities, set objectives and evaluate its performance.
In a manufacturing setting, relevant considerations can include material use, waste, energy and emissions. The priorities depend on the actual processes and applicable obligations.
Where the Three Standards Connect
The three standards address different responsibilities. The themes below show how welding quality and broader management-system requirements can connect in a manufacturing business.
01Understanding the activities and products within scope
02Connecting welding requirements with quality management
03Making responsibilities clear
04Keeping documents and records usable
05Reviewing quality and environmental performance
06Addressing issues and opportunities for improvement
07Distinguishing consultancy from independent certification

WELDING QUALITY
Requirements focused on the quality of fusion welding in metallic materials.
MANUFACTURING CONTEXT
Applicable to welding in workshops and during installation on site.
APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS
The relevant ISO 3834 quality level depends on the products and welding work.
ISO 3834: A Focus on the Welding Process
CEB provided consultancy on ISO 3834 as part of Floandre's engagement. The series addresses quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials.
ISO 3834 complements broader quality management with a specific focus on welding. QSCert's public register lists Floandre for ISO 3834 in relation to manufacturing metal structures for building construction.
