Shared processes¶
Five processes serve both disciplines. The welding management system references them and does not rebuild them — that is deliberate, and it is what stops IDM ending up with two document control procedures, two audit programmes and two non-conformance registers.
- Document & record control — QP01
- Internal audit — QP02
- Non-conformance & corrective action — QP03
- Competence & training — shared matrix
- Management review — one review, two inputs
IDM's own clause mapping¶
Reproduced from IDM's 2021 welding manual — their mapping, not CRGI's.
| IDM ISO 9001 procedure | Mapped to ISO 3834-2 clause |
|---|---|
| QP01 Document control | 10 |
| QP02 Internal audits | 14 |
| QP03 Non-conformances | 15 |
| QP04 Enquiries | 5 |
| QP05 Design | 5 |
| QP06 Manufacture | 10 |
| QP07 Delivery | 10 |
| QP08 Invoicing | Not applicable |
| QP09 Accounts | Not applicable |
| QP10 Recall | 15 |
Revalidate this mapping
It dates from 2021 and has not been checked against the current text of BS EN ISO 3834-2 or against IDM's current QP set. Do this before the certification body is pointed at it. [TBC]
The rule¶
In Phase 1, reference existing ISO 9001 procedures rather than duplicating them, and record where a procedure needs maturing to carry the welding requirement. That record becomes Phase 2's starting position.
Where a procedure needs maturing¶
CRGI's assessment, from building the welding system against the existing QP references.
| Shared process | Gap identified | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| QP01 Document control | Must carry welding records with their own retention periods — 1090 and 15085-5 requirements not yet verified | 1 to identify, 2 to fix |
| QP02 Internal audits | No welding-competent auditor named; no welding audit on the schedule | 1 to identify, 2 to fix |
| QP03 Non-conformances | Confirm welding NCRs actually reach the register, and that RWC disposition authority is recognised in the procedure | 1 to identify, 2 to fix |
| Competence | Welder continuity confirmation has no owner in the 9001 competence process — it is the failure that stopped the system in 2021 | 1 — fixed in the welding manual |
| Management review | Welding performance is not a standing input | 1 — input drafted, 2 to embed |
