EN 10204 Inspection Documents Standard
Engineering definition, metallurgical mechanisms, standard testing specifications, and manufacturing guidelines for closed-die forgings up to 50 kg.
Quick AnswerFeatured
The definitive European and international standard specifying the different types of inspection documents and test certificates supplied for metallic products.
Technical Explanation & Metallurgical Principles
EN 10204 defines four levels of material certification: Type 2.1 (declaration of compliance), Type 2.2 (non-specific test report), Type 3.1 (specific test report validated by the manufacturer's authorized inspection representative independent of production), and Type 3.2 (validated jointly by manufacturer and an independent third-party inspection agency like DNV, Lloyd's, or TÜV).
Key Engineering Specifications & Parameters
| Technical Parameter / Metric | Engineering Benchmark / Value |
|---|---|
| Type 3.1 | Mandatory specific testing on the actual dispatched lot |
| Type 3.2 | Dual-signed by independent third-party inspection authority |
