Requirement of different EN certification for welding consumable is shown below:
- En 10204 Type 2.1 Certificate Format
- En 10204 2.2 Certificate Samples
- En 10204 Type 2.1 Certificate Examples
Material Specification EN 10204-2.1 Materialbescheinigung EN 10204-2.1 We/ Wir Mettler-Toledo AG Process Analytics Im Hackacker 15 8902 Urdorf Switzerland hereby confirm that we have attained the Quality Assurance Certificate ISO 9001 and the Environmental Certificate ISO 14001 and that the said product fulfils the following material.
Certificate Type | Title | Summary of EN10204 requirements | Notes |
2.1 | 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’ |
En 10204 Type 2.1 Certificate Format
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.

- Certificate of Compliance (EN 10204-2.1) 1 MS-SNOOP-8OZ 1 No. Part Number Qty Information contained in the above customer address column (marked as 'Customer') and area marked 'Reference' (when applicable) of this certification are for reference purposes only. Swagelok Company makes no stipulations, nor takes responsibility, for the accuracy.
- 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.

A) General
Certificates may be required as proof of quality, as a guarantee or forcertifying the origin of the goods. Issuing a certificate can be quite time andmoney-consuming, since it may require extensive technical and administrativeefforts. The costs of a certificate are openly stated as a separate item on yourinvoice.
It is always much more complicated and more expensive, sometimes evenimpossible in the desired form, to Issue a certificate at a later time. Wetherefore recommend to clearly indicate requirements for certificates with yourrequest/order.
Besides the costs, a certificate may also have an influence on the deliverytime. Items in stock do not necessarily have the requested certificates, so thatspecial production or waiting for the next lot may be necessary.
Content and extent of the certificates is generally determined by thecustomer. In particular, for the frequently requested certificates formaterial tests in accordance with EN 10 204 it only is determined:
- who has to test the product (i.e. plant inspector)
- which products have to be tested (i.e. samples of the delivery lot).
It is not stated:

En 10204 2.2 Certificate Samples
- what has to be tested
- how many test runs are to be made.
En 10204 Type 2.1 Certificate Examples
Lacking given requirements, we assume that the mechanical properties(obtained by the tensile test) and the chemical analysis of one sample productare required. We recommend that the customer give us pertinent information, suchas for example on required tests according to the specifications of certainassociations (I.e. AD worksheets, SVTI rules, TRD standards) or according toproperty standards (I.e. DIN, ISO), to clearly specify the contents of thecertificate.
