Sectors
Standards Relevant to Metal Products
Common standards help metal products manufacturers avoid errors, build buyer trust, and enter foreign markets. A few carry particular weight across MPMA's four sub-sectors:
01
ISO 3834
Quality requirements for fusion welding, directly relevant to fabricated metal products.

02
Lean
A methodology for reducing waste across metal fabrication and casting operations.

03
Six Sigma
A data-driven standard for minimising defects in metal products manufacturing.

04
ERP integration standards (e.g. ISA-95)
Reliable data exchange between production planning and order management for metal producers.

05
ISO 50001
An energy management system standard, relevant to energy-intensive casting and forging.

06
Industry 4.0 and Smart Manufacturing standards
Frameworks for digital production and data management.

Material standards
Material and process standards come from external bodies. We follow them and explain what each revision means.
