  • 3.1 Certificate

A 3.1 certificate is produced by the manufacturer of the steel showing specific inspection results. EN10204 is the standard for this certificate. It will show the cast/heat number, material size or thickness and the chemical composition. Where applicable it will also show mechanical properties of the steel or the mechanical properties of a test piece from the cast, which has been independently heat treated.

Some mechanical properties (such as hardness) may be shown.
