EN 10204 Type 3.2 Certification
ABS offers third-party verification of non-class materials to standards other than the ABS Rules. In performing third-party material verifications, ABS is governed by EN 10204:2006 and ISO 10474:2013 standards.
EN 10204 TYPE 3.2 CERTIFICATION
Type 3.2 certification involves visits to the client facility by the third-party surveyor for visual examination, sample dimensional checks, confirmation that materials are traceable back to their ladle chemical analysis and validation that their properties meet material specification requirements. The surveyor would also visit the appropriate metallurgical lab to witness appropriate mechanical tests.
An ABS surveyor will visit the metallurgical lab to witness all additional testing of the material necessary to confirm compliance with the specification.
If all of the above meet the requirements, the ABS surveyor will carry out a final visit to the intermediate material handler to review documentation, verify that the material meets the product specification and the customer’s purchase order requirements and issue the Survey Report.
RESTRICTIONS FOR USE
ABS will not attend for 3.2 material verification when the end use is for Nuclear or Aerospace industries.
Type 3.2 certificates do not constitute compliance with ABS Rules. Materials holding an ABS 3.2 certificate are not suitable for use on ABS-classed vessels.
