Why fabrication audits Need A specific approach
Broken material traceability
Heat and cast numbers often get lost during cutting or welding stages. Audits must ensure material integrity is evidenced from receipt to final finish.
Lapsed specialist qualifications
Tracking welder continuity per ISO 9606 and RWC qualifications is a constant struggle. Expired certificates create major risks during EN 1090 or AS9100 audits.
High‑risk operational hazards
Molten metal, welding fumes and heavy lifting require physical verification of LEV systems, LOTO protocols and LOLER registers on the floor.
Unify fabrication ISO audits
Material traceability and heat numbers
- Capture heat and cast numbers directly on the shop floor.
- Maintain a digital audit trail through every fabrication stage.
Welder and RWC qualification tracking
- Monitor welder continuity and ISO 9606 expiries in one system.
- Flag missing Responsible Welding Coordinator (RWC) qualifications automatically.
NDT and weld integrity evidence
- Attach NDT reports and WPS/WPQR documents directly to findings.
- Track weld repair rates and NDT non‑conformities by operator.
Emissions, effluents and REACH compliance
- Audit pH levels and heavy metal effluents for ISO 14001.
- Track REACH CrVI authorisations and sunset dates across plating lines.
LEV systems and health surveillance
- Audit LEV capture velocity velocity and welding fume controls.
- Track audiometry and health surveillance records for safety compliance.

Use Audit Mate to generate checklists for EN 1090, welder continuity and LEV checks.
ISO standards supported for fabrication operations
Use basic metals and fabrication iso audit software to manage quality, environment and safety requirements with stronger evidence and follow-up.
Quality and environmental management
ISO 9001 supports traceability, calibration and weld quality. ISO 14001 covers chemicals, effluents, waste and permit compliance.
Occupational health and safety
ISO 45001 supports safer workshops through welding fume controls, guarding, crane checks and worker protection.
