Manufacture can be complex and the range of materials could include high performance metals as<br />
well as more standard materials such as structural boiler steels and aluminium alloys that require<br />
enhanced controls to avoid the occurrence of deleterious fabrication imperfections.<br />
3.3.2 ISO 3834-3 - Standard quality level<br />
This part can be applied to constructions in which failure of welds could impair the intended use of<br />
the construction and the operational unit in which it forms a part. The product would have a normal<br />
safety risk and the financial consequences would not be extreme.<br />
The manufacturing technique would be conventional without reliance on high performance<br />
materials and the production processes would be well established.<br />
3.3.3 ISO 3834-4 - Elementary quality level<br />
This part can be applied to constructions in which failure of welds would not fundamentally impair<br />
the intended use of the constructions. Additionally, failure would not be expected to have any<br />
adverse effects on the safety of people and would only have minor financial consequences.<br />
The materials used would be simple as well as the manufacturing technique.<br />
