ISO 3834 Cost and Timescale

Adapted: 8 October 2026. Practical guidance reviewed: 15 September 2026.

Direct answer

Cost and timing depend on the chosen part, welding processes, material groups, sites and gaps in WPS/WPQR, personnel qualifications and inspection evidence. Request separate prices for consultancy, qualification testing, NDT or other inspection, assessment and follow-up. Schedule unresolved technical work before the audit; there is no single duration for every workshop.

Practical questions for this decision

Are the WPS and procedure qualification record the same document?

The WPS specifies the production welding method; the qualification record provides assessment evidence. Essential variables and use boundaries should agree. A record prepared for another job does not automatically cover every new joint. Check qualification coverage before using different materials or thicknesses.

Does factory scope automatically include welding on construction sites?

Site equipment, environment, storage and supervision may differ. Show how field welding enters scope and controls. Verify personnel and procedure suitability for the actual work. Notify new site activities in certification planning and determine additional review needs.
