How old of a Mill test certificate can be accepted for a project?
How old of a Mill test certificate can be accepted for a project?
(OP)
I am currently on a structural steel project. And the vendor submitted MTC for the metareials to be used for this project. And I found that the date in the MTC is about four to five years back. When I raised my concern the vendor responded that they're using the material that is available with them but how old of the material and test certificate be approved ???

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

From AISC: "Traceability is not a requirement in the AISC Specification and, when required, must be clearly specified in the contract documents prior to the ordering of material."
I get a lot of bogus MTR's also. Tight specs are mandatory.

You can usually spot bogus certificates. Maybe it's just practice? Or I just wind up with the bogus contractors.
