EN10204 3.1 stands as the quality certification standard for steel exports to Europe. It mandates steel manufacturers to furnish a certified material test report encompassing chemical composition, mechanical properties, and non-destructive test results. Typically, such certification is conducted by third-party entities.

When exporting to Europe, providing a test report per EN10204 3.1 standard validates the steel's quality compliance with European standards and requirements, thus ensuring product quality and safety.

There are generally two types of certificates:

a) EN10204-3.1 Certificate

b) EN10204-3.2 Certificate

EN10204-3.1 Certificate

a) Raw material manufacturers certified under ISO9001 (issued by non-EU entities) can apply for PED 4.3 certification from EU-authorized bodies. With this certification, manufacturers can issue EN10204-3.1 material certificates to their clients (termed as the factory certification mode).

b) Raw material manufacturers can directly issue EN10204-3.1 certificates if they acquire ISO9001 quality management system certification or PED 4.3 certification from EU-based notified bodies.

c) If a raw material manufacturer hasn't obtained ISO9001 certification or if the certifying body is not an EU-accredited entity, the factory cannot issue EN10204-3.1 certificates. In such cases, they must seek EN10204-3.2 certificates from third-party certification bodies.

d) EN10204-3.1 certificates must reflect the manufacturer's customer name.

EN10204-3.2 Certificate

a) The issuing authority for EN10204-3.2 must be an EU-authorized body. They issue certificates after testing the materials purchased by the buyer as per contractual requirements, affirming compliance with procurement orders. This certification serves as a third-party assertion of product inspection results matching procurement specifications.

b) EN10204-3.2 certificates serve to validate conformity with European material standards, typically required for large-scale exports such as machinery and pressure equipment, ensuring the materials used comply with European specifications.

c) EN10204-3.2 certificates are applicable to both metallic and non-metallic materials, including steel, welded components, forgings, castings, semi-finished metal products, and PP pipes.

d) Certificates must include the client's and material manufacturer's names.

EN10204 3.1 and EN 10204 3.2 certificates are not limited to metallic products; non-metallic products like rubber and resin-based items can also apply for these certifications. Additionally, enterprises manufacturing rubber sealing rings can pursue PED 4.3 system certification.
