EN 10204:2004 – Inspection documents for Metallic Products
• The use of the EN 10204:2004 standard for inspection
documents for metallic products has become widespread, even outside of the European Union.
• EN 10204 was first published in 1991, based on the German standard DIN 50049.
• It is the best solution we have for the certification of materials at present, however it’s not perfect.
• Since its introduction the supply chain for steel has become more complex. Smaller manufacturers are using steel stockholders or “stockists,” as they are the more cost-effective solution for relatively smaller orders of material certified to EN 10204.

EN 10204:2004 – Inspection documents for Metallic Products
• This standard specifies the different types of inspection documents supplied to the purchaser
• Documents are in accordance with the requirements of the order, for the delivery of all metallic products, e.g. – plates – sheets – bars – forgings – castings …whatever their method of production.

EN 10204:2004 – Inspection documents for Metallic Products
• This standard may also apply to non-metallic products – not assemblies
• This document is used in conjunction with the product specifications which specify the technical delivery conditions of the products – does not specify an acceptance criteria

EN 10204:2004 – Inspection certificate 3.1 “type 3.1”
• 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 document is validated by the manufacturer’s authorised inspection representative, independent of the manufacturing department.

EN 10204:2004 – Inspection certificate 3.2 “type 3.2”
• Document prepared by the manufacturer’s authorised inspection representative (Third Party) independent of – the manufacturing department and
– either the purchaser’s authorized inspection
representative
– or the inspector.
• So how should this work?
TYPE 3.2

EN 10204:2004 Stockist vs. manufacturer?
• Function of the Independent Third Party (ITP): – To verify the material’s:
» Traceability
» Properties
– The ITP’s activity should “add value” to the material / product
Lloyd’s Register Energy
EN 10204:2004 Type 3.2 Certification –
• Manufacturer?
• No “mechanical property changing” operations. • Stockist has not “manufactured” the material – certification “to the intent
of” EN 10204 type 3.2

EN 10204:2004 Type 3.2 Certification
• Manufacturer?
• Mechanical property changing operations carried out. • Stockist has “manufactured” the material – certification “in accordance with” EN 10204 3.2 • Material must be traceable throughout Stockist’s operations.

EN 10204:2004 Type 3.2 Certification
• Exploding the myths: – Material 3.2 certified at the steelmaker – nothing else to do. – Complicated supply chain – traceability
– Solution – ITP involvement at every stage of supply chain – cast transfer.
• Traceability

EN 10204:2004 Type 3.2 Certification
• Exploding the myths: – Can’t the ITP carry out a “paperwork review” for 3.2 certification?
– No – does this verify…
– Traceability?
– Properties?
– Does this “add value” to the material? • ITP acting as an expensive “spell-checker”
Lloyd’s Register Energy
EN 10204:2004 Type 3.2 Certification
• Exploding the myths: – Ask the Test House to add “EN 10204 3.2”
to their Test Report.
– Irrelevant – Test House is not the manufacturer
– Only causes confusion in the industry

• Conclusions: – Effective material verification and traceability is ensured by:
• ITP inspection process • Sensible interpretation of standard
– Gives assurance to customer and adds value to product
