Certificate type to EN 10204: which document do I need?
Test report, inspection certificate, 3.1 or 3.2? Two questions are enough: which information you need and who should validate it. The tool names the matching document to EN 10204 and the line for your purchase order.

The four types at a glance
| Type | Test results | Validated by | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Declaration of compliance 2.1 | none – confirmation of compliance only | the manufacturer | non-critical applications, trading goods without pressure relevance |
| Test report 2.2 | yes, from non-specific inspection (not necessarily from the delivered batch) | the manufacturer | non-critical applications, trading goods without pressure relevance |
| Inspection certificate 3.1 | yes, from specific inspection of the delivery (usually heat or batch) | the manufacturer’s inspection representative, independent of production | the normal case for pressure-bearing components in plant and piping engineering |
| Inspection certificate 3.2 | yes, from specific inspection of the delivery (usually heat or batch) | the manufacturer’s inspection representative plus the purchaser’s or an officially named inspector | when the order or the code requires independent witnessing – costs more and takes longer |
Why the certificate type belongs in the order
A document cannot be upgraded afterwards: a test report 2.2 never becomes a 3.1. That is why the certificate type belongs in the purchase order – for every item. What a 3.1 contains and how to check it at goods receipt is explained in Inspection documents to EN 10204.
