MTR Certification Requirements 1

Well I can certify to all kinds of things if I don't have to sign it

Is this a requirement? I don't recall ever seeing MTR's without a signature

No, there is no requirement.

Review ASME SA 530, specifically under 21.1 Certified Test Report

When specified in the PO or contract the producer or supplier shall furnish a Certified Test Report certifying that the material was manufacured, sampled, tested and inspected in accordance with the Specification, including..... A signature or noterization is not required on the Certified Test Report.....

You received material from Asia that doesn't meet spec.? That surprises you?

If an MTR has no name, seal, or stamp it is just raw data. a certified test report must include the authority that prepared it. This can be per-printed or stamped or anything else.
I think that this is the least of your worries.
Do a chem and a micro to check grain size for starters. You might also take some dimensions and see if it is the correct size.

Send it back to the supplier. I personally would not bother to do anything with the suspect material. Why take on the risk? Also, you will have serious traceability issues.

I don't think thats an MTR. MTR should contain authority signature , stamp etc.
