The EN 10204 defines four levels of documentation, which can be seen in Table 1. When Type 2 documentation (2.1 and 2.2) is chosen, the end user relies solely on the manufacturer's quality control capabilities to deliver the properties and composition needed. Type 2.1 provides a statement that indicates that all is well. Steel Qualities, Standards and Norms, Mill Test Certificate Mill Test Certificates - EN 10204 (formerly DIN 50 049) Various Types of MTC's: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1 A, 3.1 b, 3.1 c According to Euronorm. Typically a European MTC will be produced to EN 10204. High quality steels for pressure vessel of structural purposes will be declared to 2.1 or 2.2 or certificated to 3.1 or 3.2. (EDIT: type is declared not by chapter in the document, but by type name, so edited the numbering) The MTC will specify the type of certificate, the grade of steel.

Upgrading EN 10204 3.1 Certificates to EN 10204 3.2 A classification society can be appointed to upgrade 3.1 plates at a stockist to EN 10204-3.2. He does this by reviewing the 3.1 certificate and then visually inspecting the plate to ensure that it meets the dimensions of the certificate.
BS EN 10204:2004 Metallic Products: Types of Inspection Documents
Note: To print, please click here.
Quite often our distributors are asked by end-users for a copy of inspection documents according EN 10204 (especially for the inspection Certificate 3.1 'type 3.1'). In this little bulletin we want to explain what those documents are.
BS EN 10204:2004 is a British Standard that supersedes standard BS EN 10204:1991 and specifies the different types of inspection documents supplied to the purchaser, in accordance with the requirements of the order, for the delivery of all metallic products e.g. plates, sheets, bars, tubes, forgings, castings, whatever their method of production.
Inspection certificate 3.1 'type 3.1' – is simply a document issued by the manufacturer in which he declares that the products supplied are in compliance with the requirements of the order and in which he supplies test results. The test unit and the tests to be carried out are defined by the product specification, the official regulation and corresponding rules and/or the order. The document is validated by the manufacturer`s authorized inspection representative, independent of the manufacturing department.
En 10204 Type 2.1 Certificate Format
Manufacturer may transfer on to the inspection certificate 3.1 relevant test results obtained by specific inspection on primary or incoming products he uses (such as – for example – results of chemical composition analysis or mechanical properties of the strip, provided on the Material Test Reports supplied by the vendor of strip)

Requirement of different EN certification for welding consumable is shown below:
Certificate Type | Title | Summary of EN10204 requirements | Chrome needs storage access to download files samsung. Notes |
| Declaration of compliance with the order | Statement of compliance with the order by the manufacturer | No test results shown | |
2.2 | Test report | Statement of compliance with the order by the manufacturer based on non-specific inspections (tests) by the manufacturer. | Like the old BS1449 ‘Cast Test' certificate. Mechanical test sample results from another coil from same cast, manufactured by the same process route, can be used. |
3.1 | Inspection certificate | Statement of compliance with the order by the manufacturer with results of specific inspection | Common certificate type issued for ‘batch tested' material. Cert. issued and signed by manufacturer's representative, who must be independent of the manufacturing department. Eg Inspection department or test house manager/supervisor |
3.2 | Inspection certificate | Statement of compliance with order with indication of results of specific inspection | Batch test results. Cert. issued by both manufacturer's representative and an independent inspector appointed either by the customer or an inspector designated by official regulations. This cover what is often referred to as ‘outside inspection' |
When the 3.2 certificate type is requested the manufacturing mill may prepare a 3.1 type certificate to present to the ‘outside inspector' to use as a basis for preparing the independent 3.2 certificate. Only the 3.2 certificate is valid however for the ordered requirements and to match the product marking and inspectors stamp.
