material test certifcates
(OP)
Hi all,
I have reviewed material test certificate (MTC) for steel flat bars conforming to ASTM A 36 where chemical composition and all mechanical properties are detailed and thus, meeting the requirements of A36.
Our concern is that EN 10204 3.1 is not mentioned in the MTC and client has raised the same query since it was required by their specification (MTC to EN 10204 3.1).
My question is “does it mandatory for manufacturer to mention in MTC as EN 10204 3.1 certified even though it meets international standard material grade properties” ??
Regards

RE: material test certifcates
If you required the material to include composition and mechanical property certs showing conformance with EN 10204 3.1, then you should have specified that in your PO.
To be honest, the chemistry and mechanical properties for ASTM A36 steel bar are quite minimal.

We will not issue one for free if the omission was not our fault.
Why someone would be concerned about 3.1 when they are buying one of the most generic steels possible is beyond me. Who cares if the test lab is independent from manufacturing when you have no special requirements?
