What is European Standard EN 10204 3.1?

EN 10204 3.1 is an engineering standard. Sometimes referred to as a 3.1 certificate, it confirms that the product being manufactured is fully compliant with the required specification on the order.

It is a standard specification commonly used in manufacturing.

How is EN 10204 3.1 testing carried out?

The testing is done in-house, but the inspection representative who issues the 3.1 certificate must be independent from the manufacturing division. This means that the manufacturing department doesn’t do the tests and has no power to alter, amend or influence the test results. The test certificate should specify how the test was carried out, the results, who did the testing and on what date.

What is EN 10204 3.2?

3.2 is an even more stringent certification than the 3.1 certificate. This combines the certification in 3.1 with a further test validation from the purchaser.
