thread292-314690: Is there a standard for Material Test Reports
Hi everybody,
In our company we are used to buy to European suppliers and therefore use the Standard EN 10204 requirements for Certification of Material/Equipment.
Now we are involved in a Project in North America, so European Standards are not required. The material/Equipment shall comply with ASME Material Certification requirements.
As far as I understood, there are two types of Certificates:
Certified Material and Test Reports, to be provided for Pressure Retaining material and materials welded thereto (with some exceptions for smaller sizes). They shall include: material identification, actual results of all required chemical analyses, tests and examinations, and heat or lot traceability with the material.
Certificate of Compliance. Is shall include compliance with material specification, grade, class, and heat treated condition, as applicable.
I understand the results of all required chemical analyses, tests and examinations for the MTRs included in the Certificate shall correspond to the purchased heat / lot. But it is not explicitly stated in ASME.
I mean, the Certified Material and Test Reports are similar to 3.1 EN10204 Material Certificate and the Certificate of Compliance is similar to 2.1 EN10204 Material Certificate.
What do you think about / What is your understunding about this matter?
Many thanks!

I agree with you. But my doubt is if when MTR is required, the provided test results must be from thet same heat/lot you are purchasing (like 3.1 EN10204) or if the provided test results could be from other heat/lot but of the same material produced in the same way (like 2.2 EN 10204).
