Review a pipe mill test certificate against EN 10204 3.1, the ordered grade and standard, heat traceability, mechanical tests and NDT requirements.
Use this EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate checklist to match a pipe certificate to the order, verify heat traceability, chemistry, mechanical properties, heat treatment and NDT, and record any discrepancy before release. It is a buyer review aid, not a substitute for a qualified inspector or 3.2 certification.
Use the checklist with the purchase order, the ordered standard and the physical pipe marking.
Work through the certificate against the purchase order and the ordered standard. This checklist does not store or submit your entries.
The certificate can be internally consistent and still not meet the order if the standard edition, test frequency, acceptance criteria or inspection scope is wrong. Check the purchase specification first, then the certificate.
An EN 10204 3.1 certificate is validated by an inspection representative independent of the manufacturing department. A 3.2 certificate adds validation by an independent third party or an inspection representative independent of the manufacturer. Confirm which one the project requires before shipment.
An EN 10204 3.1 inspection certificate is issued by the manufacturer and validated by an inspection representative independent of the manufacturing department. A 3.2 certificate is issued by a manufacturer and validated by an inspection representative independent of the manufacturer, or by an independent third party. The project specification decides which type is required; do not substitute 3.1 for 3.2 without written approval.
Check the certificate type and issuer, purchase order and item references, standard and grade, heat number, heat analysis, product analysis where required, tensile and yield strength, elongation, impact and hardness results, heat treatment, NDT method and result, dimensions, quantity and signatures. Confirm that each test is required by the ordered specification and that acceptance limits match its edition.
No. It documents that the supplied product was inspected and tested against the stated requirements. It does not by itself prove fitness for a particular process, corrosion duty or pressure design. Review the scope, the standard edition, the test frequency, the heat traceability and the project specification, and keep any deviations in the enquiry record before purchase.
Send the grade, dimensions, quantity, standard and inspection scope. Junda reviews the requirement and returns a technical quotation.
