Abstract: This paper explores the evolving maturity and dynamism of welding and fabrication in modern industry, emphasizing the critical role of quality management and standardization in welded construction. As a primary method for joining materials, welding requires strict adherence to international standards to ensure safety and performance. These standards vary globally, necessitating the expertise of a Responsible Welding Coordinator to ensure compliance, particularly in high-responsibility projects. The proposed Integrated Weld Quality Assurance (IWQA) framework incorporates standardized audits, compliance assessments, and proactive implementation strategies to enhance operational efficiency, minimize defects, and support cost-effective production. The model also recommends the appointment of a Welding Health and Safety Lead to ensure the integration of Quality (ISO 9001), Occupational Health and Safety (ISO 45001), Environmental (ISO 14001), and Weld Quality Management Systems (ISO 3834). Aligned with the human-centric vision of Industry 5.0, the IWQA framework leverages emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and augmented reality for welder training, enabling real-time quality monitoring and continuous improvement. Furthermore, the framework embeds circular economy principles, emphasizing energy efficiency, eco-friendly materials, and waste reduction to promote long-term sustainability. This integrated approach not only supports environmental responsibility but also strengthens workplace safety, operational reliability, and global compliance. Overall, this research presents a scalable, standards-aligned model that supports high-quality, sustainable, and socially responsible welding operations, contributing meaningfully to the future of smart manufacturing under Industry 5.0
