Overview

For EPC teams, pressure-vessel fabricators, and overseas procurement, the material is only as good as its paper trail. We are a Baoji-based titanium inventory holder with 800 tons total titanium stock, including ~400 tons of Titanium Plate/sheet. Every Gr2/TA2 plate we ship against an MTC requirement carries an EN 10204 Type 3.1 inspection certificate — issued by the original mill's independent inspection function, tied to the actual heat number on the plate, not a generic declaration. This page explains what 3.1 really means, what the certificate contains, how we keep traceability through cutting, and how to specify it correctly on a PO.

What EN 10204 3.1 Actually Means

EN 10204 defines the format and verification level of an inspection document — it does not replace ASTM B265 or GB/T 3621 (those define the material spec). Under EN 10204:

• 3.1 = Inspection Certificate: actual test results from the specific heat/lot supplied, validated by the manufacturer's authorized inspection representative (independent of the production department)
• Contains specific chemistry + mechanical values for the delivered heat — not a "similar batch" result
• Signed/stamped by the mill's QA/inspection function
• No third-party witness required (that is 3.2)

In plain terms: a 3.1 MTC answers "Is this exact plate what you claim, and can you prove it from this heat?" — yes, with test data.

3.1 vs 2.1 vs 2.2 vs 3.2 (Buyer Short Version)

Most industrial projects (PED, ASME auxiliary material dossiers, desalination EPC) accept 3.1 as the standard level. 3.2 is only arranged when the PO or end-user spec explicitly demands a third-party counter-signature.

What Our 3.1 MTC Contains

• Product identification: grade, standard (ASTM B265 / GB/T 3621), thickness×width×length, quantity
• Heat / cast number: the same number etched/tagged on the physical plate
• Chemical composition: Fe, O, N, C, H, Ti-balance (melt analysis, actual values)
• Mechanical properties: tensile strength, 0.2% yield, elongation (Gr2: ≥345 / ≥275 / ≥20%)
• Heat-treatment condition: annealed (M)
• NDT records: UT for thick plate (≥20mm) where specified
• Surface & dimensional: referenced to order acceptance
• Signature/ stamp: mill QA inspector, English PDF

Traceability Through Cutting (The Part Most Suppliers Break)

A certificate is useless if the heat number is lost during cutting. Our rule:

1. Stock plate tagged with heat number before entering cutting area
2. Cut pieces retain heat-number tag / etching after shear/waterjet
3. MTC heat number = physical tag number = PI line item
4. Multi-piece cuts from one mother plate: all pieces carry the same heat reference
5. If heat number is partially removed by machining, we re-mark by dot-peen/etch and note it on the dispatch report

No grade substitution. No "certificate swapped from another heat." Traceability is the whole point of 3.1.

How to Specify MTC 3.1 on Your PO

Copy this into your purchase order / enquiry to avoid ambiguity:

Material: Titanium Plate, Gr2 (TA2)
Standard: ASTM B265 / ASME SB265 (edition stated)
Condition: Annealed (M)
Dimensions: ___ × ___ × ___ mm (or cut-to-size list)
Quantity: ___ kg / ___ pcs
Certificate: EN 10204 Type 3.1, English PDF
Heat number: marked on each piece
Docs: MTC 3.1 + COO + Packing List + CI
Third-party inspection: SGS / BV / none
Non-Russian-origin declaration: yes / no (EU customs)

EU / Export Clearance Notes

• 3.1 PDF in English (or English translation attached)
• Heat-number consistency is the first thing EU/QAR inspectors check
• For EU-bound metal goods, a non-Russian-origin statement can be added on request (stated separately from the 3.1 technical content)
• COO, commercial invoice, packing list supplied in parallel
• SGS/BV/TÜV witness available — we schedule test window, buyer covers third-party fee

Cutting + Certificate Workflow

1. Enquiry with grade + dims + "MTC 3.1 required"
2. We confirm stock heat availability (not just "Gr2 in warehouse" — actual heat)
3. Quotation cites heat number range / mill source
4. PO confirmed → cutting from tagged stock
5. Deburr + flatness check + heat-number re-affirmation
6. MTC 3.1 drafted against delivered heat, QA sign-off
7. Crate sealed, docs emailed as PDF + hard copy in crate

Common Mistakes Buyers Should Avoid

• Writing "MTC" without stating EN 10204 type → defaults get messy; always write "3.1" or "3.2"
• Accepting 2.2 as 3.1 — different verification level, not interchangeable
• Cutting off the heat-number tag before inspection → traceability breaks
• Asking a trader to "issue" a 3.1 themselves → only the mill's independent inspection function issues a true 3.1; stockists supply the mill's 3.1
• Mixing heats in one bundle without separate MTC lines

Quality Controls Before Doc Release

• Heat number on plate ↔ MTC ↔ PI ↔ crate tag cross-checked by QA
• Thickness micrometer (4-point + center)
• Flatness ≤3mm/m after leveling
• UT for ≥20mm plate where specified
• Surface: pickled/oxide-removed, no carbon-steel contact
• PDF MTC sent for review before final dispatch on large orders

Typical Projects Requiring 3.1

FAQ — Titanium Plate with EN 10204 3.1

Q1: Do you issue the 3.1 yourself?
A: We supply the original mill's EN 10204 3.1 (issued by the mill's independent inspection function), tied to the actual heat. We do not fabricate a "trader version" and call it a mill 3.1.

Q2: If you cut the plate, does the MTC still match?
A: Yes. Heat number travels with the piece. MTC references the mother-heat; cut pieces carry the same heat ID.

Q3: Can I get 3.2 instead of 3.1?
A: Yes. SGS/BV/TÜV witness arranged at buyer cost; lead time extends by the third-party schedule.

Q4: Is 3.1 enough for ASME pressure parts?
A: For material certification, 3.1 is the standard level for most industrial applications. Final acceptance is governed by the ASME stamp holder / client QA plan.

Q5: Do you add non-Russian-origin statement for EU?
A: On request, as a separate declaration alongside the 3.1 (not altering the technical certificate content).

Q6: What if my PO heat number must match a previous project heat?
A: Tell us the heat number; we check live stock. If not available, we propose equivalent heat with full 3.1 for your QA review before cutting.

Q7: Language of certificate?
A: English PDF standard. Bilingual (EN+CN) on request.

Q8: How fast can docs release?
A: For in-stock heat + standard cut: MTC drafted same dispatch cycle; PDF sent before crate closes on large orders.

Q9: Can MTC cover multiple pieces in one line?
A: Yes, if same heat + same grade + same order. Different heats = separate MTC lines (no mixing).

Q10: Sample coupon with cert?
A: 100×100mm coupon from same heat, MTC excerpt/reference supplied, courier at cost, deductible from bulk PO.
