This article serves as your complete resource. We will explain what EN 10204 is, the difference between certificate types (2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2), why “hot” rolling matters, and where to find legitimate PDF templates and examples.
For hot products, the PDF must clearly state the (ladle analysis) and, if required, product analysis (from the rolled product). Deviations due to hot working (e.g., decarburization) are noted.
The standard categorizes documents based on the level of inspection and the independence of the authorized representative.
