As per SA-480,
"8.1 A report of the results of all tests required by the product
specification shall be supplied to the purchaser".

My concern is: "results" of test shall be in the form of numerical values (for example: Tensile Strength, 460 MPa) OR stated in the notes (remarks) that the properties comply with material specification (see photo-shot below)?
Can smb, pls, help to understand SA-480 requirements.

If it is a test that is pass/fail then that is OK.
Otherwise I expect numbers.
And 'capable' is never acceptable.
Of course considering the source they are likely to just give you values from some tests that may not be for the lot of material in question at all.

In Certificate in Remarks its says: "1. we hereby certify that the material described herein has been manufactured and tested with satisfactory results in accordance with the requirements of the above material specification". At the same time, herein certificate any values stated for mechanical properties (see screen-shot).

What you mean by "capable"?...where that word comes from?

Pls, help to understand, what ASME Code means by word "results" ? What is definition of "result" as per ASME Code (it means "values" or state "satisfactory", "acceptable"?).
