WHY FINGERPRINT COATINGS?
Why do we need to FINGERPRINT coatings when anti-corrosion paint failures have never caused structural collapse or direct
loss of primary containment?
Should the industry allow non-conforming paints to be supplied just because the price of non-conformance is not a direct
cause of leak or structural failure?

Malaysia Leads Coating Fingerprint Initiative First in the World!
Forum on “Towards Fingerprinting of Polymeric Coatings” IV
Reported by: Ir. Max Ong Chong Hup and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Melissa Chan Chin Han, Chief Editors of Materials Mind
Sponsored by :
Date : 29th October 2015
Time : 9.00 am – 2.00 pm
Venue : Dewan Tunku, Kelab Golf Negara Subang,
Petaling Jaya
Jointly organized by:
1. IMM Polymer Committee 2. IMM Materials & Asset Integrity Committee 3. IMM Task Force on Coatings Fingerprinting
IMM continues its progress report with the Forum
on “Towards Fingerprinting of Polymeric Coatings"
IV on 29th October 2015 at Kelab Golf Negara Subang,
Selangor. This event was officiated by the Deputy
President of IMM, En. Mohd Azmi Mohd. Noor, Head
of PETRONAS Asset Integrity, Upstream HSE. This
important event was made possible with the
sponsorships and strong support from 3 companies,
Anton Paar Malaysia Sdn Bhd, Bruker (M) Sdn Bhd and
Hempel Paints (M) Sdn Bhd. The forum was well
attended by participants from coating manufacturers,
fabricators/contractors/sub-contractors, external auditors,
end-users, testing laboratories and universities as
depicted in Table 1.
Much debate has been ongoing about the
percentage contribution towards coatings failures in the
oil & gas and heavy industries by (i) surface
preparation, (ii) paint application, (iii) paint materials,
(iv) quality control inspection and (v) painting contract
management. Many reports and papers presented at
conferences and magazines have targeted the blasters
and painters as the prime contributors with some
pointing to poor quality of Certified Painting Inspectors
who did not inspect the blasting and painting works
correctly. Some also pointed to the contract execution at
painting sites where construction managers place little
emphasis to painting quality and often squeeze the
project schedules for the painting scopes thereby
causing paint defects to occur. No report has ever
identified the paint materials as defective or inferior
quality.

Treatment (FROSIO) (Norway) have been providing the
QC inspection of painting projects in Malaysia since
1970’s. PETRONAS initiated the IMM Coating
Inspector Certification Scheme in Malaysia in 1990 to
upskill local Malaysians to participate in this industry.
Institute of Corrosion (ICorr) (UK) and TWI-the British
Gas Approved Scheme (BGAS) (UK) initiated their
Coating Inspector Certification Scheme in Malaysia
from 2005. Since 1980’s, blasters and painters
worldwide have to undergo training and certification to
improve the quality of surface preparation and paint
application. In Malaysia, this was initiated by
PETRONAS with IMM in 2000. Yet despite all these,
the painting works continued to face many failures
during service. Whilst the construction site managers
acknowledge some blame for rushing delayed projects,
there had been speculation that the paint materials could
contribute to the problem and there had been no quality
control mechanism to check the quality and consistency
of paint supplied to-date. Metals manufactured and
supplied have to be accompanied by a “Mill
Certificate“. How come, polymeric paints do not
provide a similar mill certificate?
Puan Nurul Asni Mohamed from PETRONAS
Group Technical Solutions (GTS) Department (who is
also the Chairperson of the IMM Task Force for
Coatings Fingerprinting) highlighted that the Coatings
Fingerprinting Task Force has successfully completed
Phase 1 of its tasks, i.e. establishing a draft Coating
Fingerprint Certificate with relevant QC parameters to
be measured. She informed that Phase 2 of the program
will commence soon with sample collection of both raw
materials and finished products of epoxy coatings to
check the consistency of Fourier-transform infrared
(FTIR) evaluation results using different brands of FTIR
equipment followed by polyurethane coatings, zinc-rich
coatings and other coatings used in the industry. Coating
Fingerprint Certification requirement will be included in
PETRONAS Technical Standards (PTS) 15.20.03
(replacing previous PTS 30.48.00.31), which is waiting
official approval issuance at the moment.
The work by this Task Force has demonstrated a
successful Industry-Academia collaboration where
Industry Players were unaware of the capabilities of the
FTIR technique to develop “Fingerprint” of polymeric
materials such as Paints. Although “Fingerprinting” had
been specified by many industry players in their
Painting Specifications, no one knew exactly what
“Fingerprinting” meant. En. Muhd Hawari Hassan, also
from PETRONAS GTS Department, presented the new
Paint Qualification Specifications from PETRONAS with
more stringent quality requirements including the
Fingerprinting Requirement. With clearer understanding
of the FTIR techniques and interpretation of the test
results, Oil & Gas and Heavy Engineering industries will
be able to clearly specify the Coating Fingerprint
requirements in due course.
Ms. Renee Teo Yong Yin from Bruker (M) Sdn
Bhd presented the comparison results of FTIR tests on
various epoxy coating samples to check their consistency
and reproducibility. Consistency and reproducibility were
more than 0.95 and this gave confidence to the Task
Force members on the reliability of FTIR analysis for
paint quality assurance. Mr. Nigel Foong Jee Lip from
Anton Paar Malaysia Sdn Bhd presented new
technologies for rheological tests methods for paint
quality testing to complete the Fingerprinting
requirements. Note that Coating Fingerprinting comprises
not only the FTIR for structural analysis but all other
physical tests such as viscosity, density, color code, non-
volatile matter (by mass), mass of Zn metal/Total Zn etc.
Finally, Dr. Hassan Malik from Bureau Veritas
Malaysia highlighted the importance of Coating
Fingerprinting data entry into the Risk Based Inspection
(RBI) database for validation that paint materials
supplied to a project meets the project specifications and
standards. Such data should be validated, encrypted and
accessible in the RBI database during performance
review and/or failure analysis.
Associate Professor Dr. Melissa Chan Chin Han
from Universiti Teknologi MARA (who is also the
Chairman of the IMM Polymer Committee and Advisor
to the IMM Task Force on Coatings Fingerprinting)
highlighted that IMM has initiated training and
certification programs in Coating Fingerprinting to
educate the industry players as well as ensure qualified
and trained Coating Fingerprinting Quality Controllers
are in place before the full implementation of the Coating
Fingerprinting requirement by the Oil & Gas and Heavy
Engineering industries. IMM is towards collaborating
with the local chapters of NACE, Society for Protective
Coatings (SSPC) etc for standards development.

The Forum’s finale was an open dialogue between
the presenters and the audience. Ms. Michelle Lau from
NACE International was invited to join the Panel.
NACE indicated support for this Coating Fingerprinting
initiative and possibility of drafting NACE standards on
this topic with IMM’s input. Paint manufacturers also
indicated their support to comply to the Coating
Fingerprinting requirements once the Oil & Gas
Industry implements the requirement. Puan Nurul
informed that PETRONAS has plans to implement this
requirement for the Refinery and Petrochemical
Integrated Development (RAPID) project in Johor in
2016.
Finally, En. Mohd Azmi Mohd Noor highlighted
that PETRONAS and the other oil & gas industry
players have initiated the Cost Reduction Alliance 2.0
(CORAL 2.0) to reduce costs of doing business in the
Malaysian Oil & Gas industry via innovation and new
technologies. The Coating Fingerprinting initiative is
one of the innovations to assist CORAL 2.0 achieve its
objectives. PETRONAS is grateful to IMM and the
Task Force members for their voluntary service and
commitment to make this Quality Innovation a success
within a short time-frame.

A technical insight sharing by JOTUN Paint (M) Sdn
Bhd was held at Faculty of Applied Sciences (FSG),
Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) on 19th November 2015.
It was presented by JOTUN Paint specialist, Ms. Norunn
Folsvik and attended by members of Task Force on Coatings
Fingerprinting of Institute of Materials, Malaysia (IMM). One
of the prime objectives is to understand the paint
manufacturer response on the initiative.
The session began with the introduction of all
attendees followed by presentation on initiative background,
objectives, milestones and future implementation by
Ms. Nurul Asni Mohamed from PETRONAS, GTS and
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Melissa Chan Chin Han from UiTM. The
session then continued with presentation from Ms. Norunn
Folsvik, JOTUN Paint Specialist.
According to Ms. Norunn Folsvik, coating failures
have been found to be mainly driven by surface preparation
and compatibility between layers. However, JOTUN recently
had conducted a Round Robin exercise on fingerprinting
implementation across four factories worldwide for three
products as part of QA/QC verification. Based on Round
Robin results, JOTUN findings are consistent with the IMM
Coating Fingerprinting Task Force findings in Phase 1 and
Phase 2 that was presented in previous Forums on "Towards
Fingerprinting of Polymeric Coatings". Generally, it was
concluded that:
Sensitivity application for the compare algorithm has
been discussed between JOTUN and instrument manufacturer.
Normal sensitivity approach is identified as common practice

Volatile matters are consistent
Density is coherent across the products
FTIR correlation achieved 0.99
Reproducibility is a challenge for 900 – 1300 cm-1
range which applies for solvents and extenders. It is
important to know limitations and influence of the
spectroscopic absorption to the correlation numbers and
product performance.
Different raw materials may affect the correlation
although the product performance has been tested and
qualified for production.
ISO 20340 calls for testing of isolated binder instead of
full paint. Testing showed that there are differences be-
tween these two with clear differences at the binders and
extenders range – 700 to 900 cm-1 and 1100 to 1500 cm-1.
(Note that IMM Task Force does not require such details
to avoid issues with formulation secrecy).
Different instrument manufacturers have different com-
pare algorithms to estimate the degree of similarity (r) for
samples and it is important to understand the underlying
principles. Different options and parameter checks will
give different values. (Note that IMM Task Force has
already written an article in the past Materials Mind
magazine on thess findings).
across different industries. High sensitivity algorithms have
different mathematical approach as compared to normal
sensitivity, which is suitable for coatings industry. Applying
raw data for quality control (QC) purpose is more
representative and can reduces discrepancies (Note that IMM
Task Force has already written an article in the past Materials
Mind magazine to address equipment settings).
JOTUN suggested that specifications are to be
determined experimentally over a wide range of products over
time using different algorithms. Furthermore, reference
samples should include spectra from different sites and batch-
es to display the natural variation in the products in order to
find a sensible and achievable specification for the benefit of
both customers and paint manufacturers. Ms. Nurul Asni
mentioned that the library for baseline are to be provided by
coating manufacturers and they have the freedom to expand
their reference samples as deemed necessary provided that
manufactured products can still meet the quality specifica-
tions that was guaranteed.
Dr. Melissa also explained the correlation target setting
of 0.90 in the Coating Fingerprint Certificate was an agreed
compromise between Task Force members comprised of
various manufacturer’s representatives. Four algorithms from
different manufacturers have been tested and the correlation
was found to be acceptable. Detailed studies were not re-
quired on the algorithms.
At the end of the session, both parties agreed that
correlation acceptance criteria greater than 0.9 using high
sensitivity algorithm set in the coatings fingerprinting is
achievable based on findings by the IMM Coating Fingerprint
Task Force as presented by Dr. Melissa. The Task Force also
agreed to revisit the algorithm principle embedded in several
of the FTIR instruments that may affect the sensitivity and
correlation of the product as suggested by JOTUN.

IMM participated in the KLSEF
2015 held at the Mines International
Exhibition & Convention Centre Kuala
Lumpur, 30 Oct 2015 -1 Nov 2015. The
event was co-organized by Malaysian
Industry-Government Group for High
Technology (MIGHT), ASEAN Academy of
Engineering and Technology, Institution of Engineers
Malaysia (IEM), National Science Centre and Universiti
Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR).
The Institute of Materials, Malaysia (IMM) booth
promoted technical and vocational educational training
programs for school leavers, for example, the training
and certification for industrial protective coating
technicians whose work involve paint coating to
prevent rusting and corrosion in structures and industrial
plants. Movement up the career path is provided by the
IMM Coatings Inspector training course and certification
examination.
Professional welding as career for school leavers
was promoted by a welding simulator, similar to the
training of airline pilots who undergo training in a
flying simulator. Visitors who are able to hold a
welding torch and don the welding helmet are
encouraged to try their ability to manipulate the welding
torch to weld two plates together in the virtual arc and
spark environment. The manipulative skills and the
quality of the welding made by the visitor welder were
assessed by the simulator. Welding simulation for
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Tungsten-
Arc Welding (GTAW ) and Gas Metal Arc Welding
(GMAW) welding processes were made available in the
simulator for visitors to try their welding skills. The
welding simulator generated much interest among school
children and the/their parents who accompanied them.
Many school children were made aware of professional
welding as a career option after schooling.
IMM is grateful for the support and sponsorship of
Weldmart Products & Services for their generous
contribution of loaning the welding simulator, as well as
Jotun Paints (M) Sdn Bhd and Nippon Paint (M) Sdn
Bhd for contribution of promotional items during the
3-day event.

Sublime! If I would to describe the
one-week experience that I had in Ireland
in one word, I would put it that way. The
2015 final of the Young Persons’ World
Lecture Competition is a flagship event
organized by the Institute of Materials,
Minerals and Mining (IOM3) which sees
the culmination of many local, regional and national
heats held in nine countries around the world. Within a
span of a week’s time, all of the participants were

nothing but inspiring and entertaining, all of which
enabled us to get to know our fellow competitors as
well as to develop friendships that will last for many
years to come! The first day tour which was carried out
a day after everyone had reached Ireland was conduct-
ed right in the heart of the Ireland itself; Dublin where
all of the organizers, sponsors, judges and participants
had the chance to visit the Trinity College of Dublin
and the Guinness Storehouse before we headed towards
one of the most amazing historical cities in Ireland –
Drogheda, within the very same day. Our stupendous
journey did not just stop there as it continued right on
our very first morning in Drogheda where we visited a
Health Products Regulatory, an authority organization
specializing in pharmaceutical and healthcare blister
packaging and bottle/tub; Millmount Healthcare and
Ireland’s premier waste-to-energy facility managed by
Indaver, an established European waste management
company, both of which I would like to regard as an
awe-inspiring experience for me. Later throughout the
week, right before the final took place on October 22nd,
2015, the participants were involved in pretty much
everything between the filming session of our
presentations to visits to a few local schools where we
had the opportunity to refine our presentation skills
toward the non-specialist audience as well as to
demonstrate the importance and relevance of our subject
areas in pressing global issues such as quality of life,
wealth creation and the environment.
Finally on our last two days in Ireland, the much
awaited moment arrived with the prestigious
competition final taking place at The Barbican Centre in
Drogheda itself. All of the nine participants flaunt their
best possible effort in delivering the 15 minutes
presentation in a heated competition before we
witnessed the Ireland representative Kevin Doherty,
won the judges’ hearts with his presentation entitled:
New Thermal Control Material Systems for Interplane-
tary and Geosynchronous Spaceflight, followed by
Kaushik Parida (Singapore) and Mariana Viegas Greco
de Oliveira (Brazil), both of which settled in the second
and third place respectively.
Regardless of not winning the competition, I must
say that this annual competition has taught me
something of immeasurable value, not only on the
importance of having the aptitude to convey technical
information in an enthusiastic and understandable way
to a non-specialist audience but also on the value of
friendship, good moral ethics as well as the ever
expanding world of materials, minerals and mining.
With that, I hereby sign off the report with a
heartfelt wish for next year’s front man to do a much
better work than I am, not solely in terms of winning the
competition but to cultivate all the gemstones acquired
during the whole course of the competition and bring it
back home to our very own motherland, in the hopes
that it can inspire our younger generations thus making
this nation a better one.
The participants proudly hold their national flags in one of the historical
cities in Ireland, Drogheda.

Nine talented ‘ambassadors’ with the Mayor of Drogheda, Mr. Paul Bell (centre) and reputable judges
The much-awaited moment had arrived. The
final flagship of IOM3 event for 2015 was held in the
historic city of Drogheda, located about 45 km north of
Dublin, Ireland. This year’s event had marked its 11th
international final, with previous finals having taken
place in the UK, Singapore, USA, South Africa,
Malaysia, Brazil and Hong Kong. Sponsored by
Companhia Brasilia de Metalurgia e Mineracao
(CBMM), Rolls-Royce and SCF Processing with
support from the Institute of Materials, Minerals and
Mining (IOM3) and Younger Members’ Committee
(YMC), we witnessed Irish local lad Mr. Kevin
Doherty from the University College Dublin took on
competitors from across the globe in the prestigious
competition, with his presentation entitled: New Ther-
mal Control Material Systems for Interplanetary and
Geosynchronous Spaceflight.
Kosher Parida from Singapore came second with
his talk on Piezoelectric Energy harvester: Converting
Ambient Mechanical Energy to useful Electrical Ener-
gy. In third place was Mariana Viegas Greco de
Oliveira from Brazil who talked about Biomimetics:
What can Nature Teach an Engineer? The event was
judged by Dr. Philip Bischler, chair of the IOM3 local
affairs board, who also acted as the moderator; Dr.
Mike Hicks, president of IOM3; Dr Siobhan Matthews,
CEO and CTO of SCF Processing; Dr. Kate Thornton,
chair of Younger Members’ Committee, and Anelise
Soares, marketing developer of CBMM.
Although Malaysia did not get the top three
prizes this year, our representative, Ms. Hana Atiqah
Young Persons’ World Lecture
Competition (YPWLC) 2015
had done a great job delivering her piece Towards a cure
for HIV: In Silico Protein Engineering of A Novel
Biomaterial. It was a tremendous achievement to do so
well against such stiff competition. The standard was
very high and with competitors being adjudicated on not
only their research but its applications and of course
their presentation skills; thus it was very challenging.
Prior to the competition itself, competitors spent
almost a week in Dublin and Drogheda taking part in
educational visits to schools, universities and other
interesting places.
This prestigious competition will be up and
running again next year. Thus, more work and effort
need to be done in order to screen the best young
Malaysian to become our ambassador in the next World
Final 2016 in Brazil. All in all, success is never
permanent and failure is never final. Therefore never
stop working after success and never stop trying after
failure.

Abstract
Any Enterprise, in any industrial sector, bases its
success primarily on two essential factors, technological
innovation and control of the fabrication process. It is
well known that, in the absence of innovation, every
production process "ages" and, in an environment of
dynamic development, it ceases to generate profit. It is
easy to understand that the Manufacturer has the
primary need to control his own fabrication process to
achieve the proposed goals (i.e. ensure the observance
of all those references to create, directly or indirectly,
benefits to the Company in the course of realization of
the product/service). These references do not only relate
to the adequacy of the product/service in terms of
quality and cost analysis, but also in terms of financial,
managerial, commercial, insurance, regulatory and
legislative, environmental and safety regulations
aspects, pertaining to the fabrication process
Introduction
Any Company in any industrial field, bases its own
success on two main factors:
tecnological innovation
fabrication process control
Without innovation, any production process becomes
outdated until the point of no profitability.
Without control, the fabrication process doesn’t follow
any improvement target and, in time, it becomes no
more profitable. So many Companies still today
thoughtlessly approach fabrication process control with
the only aim to match the contractual requirements
from the Client or to comply with some Standards and
regulations. On the contrary, the Manufacturer should
give the utmost importance to the fabrication process
control, because that's the only way to really achieve
any targets.
Fabrication Process Control
Regardless of the type of product, the fabrication
process can be thought of as the integration of the
various operative phases that lead to its realisation.
Traditionally, the fabrication process develops around
and is characterized by the following:
- acceptance of the technical, legal and contractual
requirements related to the product;
- fabrication
- sub-contracting
- personnel
- equipment
- materials
- identification and traceability
- validation and calibration
- tests and inspections
- non conformities record
- corrective actions
- documentation
While analyzing each of the above phases the Fabricator
can make use of certain tools that, specifically for each
different product being fabricated, can guide the
Fabricator itself to choose how to better develop and
optimize the fabrication process and the control on the
same process. The key aspects to be considered are the
following:
- invasiveness of the control
- vulnerability of the fabrication process
- innovation, both instrumental and managerial
- responsibilities of the Fabricator
- profitability of the fabrication process
Invasiveness of the control
The choice to use either more-invasive or less-invasive
control methods, does not necessarily depend
exclusively on the product characteristics; on the
contrary, it depends on the type of fabrication process
that is applied, and on the need to monitor such
fabrication process in order to guarantee the
achievement of certain results. In other words, the type
of fabrication process shall determine the level of
invasiveness of the control on the same fabrication
process. The main parameters that determine the level
of invasiveness of the control on the fabrication process
are the following:
- characteristics of the product, from the point of
view of quality and safety
- complexity of the fabrication
- extension of the sub-contracting
- materials used in fabrication
- fabrication processes and their level of
automation
- the significance, with specific reference to the
applications and use of the product, of the
fabrication defects
55
The above is particularly evident when it comes to the
so called "special processes": the processes for which
the quality and the characteristics of the product cannot
be evaluated by means of direct and non - destructive
control/inspection(1), but can only be verified by means
of indirect control/inspection[2] prior to, during and
after fabrication (e.g. welding, heat treatment, non -
destructive tests, coating, calendering, rolling etc.). One
of the consequences, for example, is that the more the
fabrication process is automated (which translates into
reduction or even lack of direct human intervention in
the fabrication process), the more the control of the
fabrication process shall depend on the validation of the
equipment and the processes procedures.
Vulnerability of the fabrication process
The fabrication process can have some vulnerable
areas that are specific for the process itself, as it is
applied. In particular, the areas of vulnerability that
most frequently occur in many fabrication processes
are the following:
- operational processes adequacy
- set up of special processes
- workability of the fabrication materials
- safety
- personnel's competence
- management of the sub-contractors
With specific reference to the competence of the
personnel, it is proven that even a deep knowledge of the
basic principles of the technology applied in fabrication
is not enough. On the contrary, what is really needed in
fabrication is experience and understanding of the
various issues related to the specific fabrication process
in the particular conditions of application of the same.
Instrumental and managerial innovations
A very important aspect to be considered - which on the
contrary is very often underestimated or even
completely ignored - is the fact that any effective
process control aimed at optimization and innovation
shall allow the Fabricator to find out any weakness and/
or inadequacy of the fabrication process, and adopt
effective corrective actions for improvement.
The common areas that traditionally leave great room
for improvement are the following:
- quality of the equipment
- optimization of the processes
- personnel's competence update and upgrade
Responsibilities of the Fabricator
The Fabricator, who is setting up and carrying on the
fabrication process, is three times responsible for its
actions: nstitutionally responsible (because its
production has to comply to the requirements of the
law); contractually responsible (because the production
and the output has to comply with the requirements of
the contract/agreement with the Client); legally
responsible (for any damages to any Third Parties). The
fabrication process control allows the Fabricator to face
and handle these aspects too, putting focus on:
- analysis of the requirements, both contractual
and technical
- adequacy of the fabrication process, in
consideration of safety and quality
- terms and conditions of sub-contracting
- behaviour of the personnel (while carrying on
fabrication activities, and while supervising on
the sub-contractor's fabrication)
Profitability of the fabrication process
Last but not least, the effective fabrication process
control allows the Fabricators to find out where and
how costs and profits are generated over the fabrication
process; hence, it allows the Fabricator to determine
where and how the correspondent contribution margins
are generated.
Particular focus has to be kept on:
- adequacy of the purchasing procedures
- economic viability of the operative processes
- production functionality and adequacy of the
equipment
For this, the smaller the contribution margins, the more
comprehensive and detailed the fabrication process
control has to be. This is a typical dysfunction of the
mass production, where even the smallest dysfunction
in the fabrication process will translate into damages or
losses that are proportional to the production capacity.
Final Analysis
The following table represents a summary of what have
been previously mentioned, with the only consideration
that every single element that has been mentioned is
still closely related to each phase of the control of the
fabrication process. Actually, the information
mentioned herein appear to be the most relevant to our
scope. The information referred to in the table below
can be of guidance to the Fabricator for the organization
and management of an adequate control of the
fabrication process, allowing the Fabricator to find out
the areas and activities which mostly require monitoring
during the fabrication process and which are most
closely related to the Fabricator's own production.
In fact, it is fundamental for the Fabricator to gain in
efficiency by focusing more on innovation, preparation
and fine-tuning; this is to avoid unnecessary and
potentially high additional fabrication costs caused by
a high number of NDT tests to be done afterwards.

ISO 3834 Standard
The approach of the fabricator towards the world of
"rules and regulations" (or rather, the technical
Standards) is also very important. Such Standards shall
in fact be considered for what they are - common
knowledge to be shared in the form of organizational
tools, and not as number of regulations which the
fabricator has to comply with to avoid clashes and
lawsuits with the Project Owners.
In the field of welding fabrication, the purpose of the
Standard ISO 3834 - initially published in its first
edition during the early '90s, is to provide a general
guideline to "optimise and keep under control" the
welding fabrication process.
Such goal has been mostly achieved, especially with the
latest edition of the same Standard (duly included into
several other Standards for welded products for each
field such as EN 15085 for rail vehicle EN 1090 for
infrastructures, EN 13445 for pressure equipment, EN
13480 for industrial piping, etc.).
In brief, the Standard analyses the parameters of the
welding fabrication, and also provides effective
solutions for the management of the same parameters.
Hence, the use of the ISO 3834 shall be seen as a matter
of "investment into better organised and more
cost-effective fabrication", and not as a matter of
"compliance with new external regulations". In the first
case, when there is active and intelligent application of
the Standard, the Fabricators in fact able to benefit from
the Standard; while in the second case the Fabricators
will simply incur additional costs.
Conclusions
Only few Fabricators today understand that fabrication

Since 2011, after the restructuring of the Italian
Institute of Welding from a single Company to a
Group of three Companies, Mr. Scasso has also been
the President and CEO of IIS Service and IIS Cert,
until 2014.
Biodata
process control is essential not only for the development
of the Company, but more importantly for its survival.
The Fabricators have the duty to create added value for
themselves, and such added value is in the processes;
hence, "innovation", "efficiency" and "effectiveness"
shall be created in the processes (fabrication process,
in the first place). Without innovation, efficiency and
effectiveness, survival in a globalized market won't be
anything but a transitory condition.
