Documents you can request
Put the document package in the RFQ and purchase order so the proposed material and inspection route includes it from the start. Depending on the order, buyers can request an MTC type, heat or lot traceability, dimensional and test reports, third-party inspection records, marking records and packing-release documents.
- Name EN 10204 3.1 when that inspection-document type is required.
- State the material tests, supplementary tests and reporting language required by the order.
- Identify drawing dimensions, surfaces, NDT, PMI and witness or hold points to be recorded.
- Define how heat or lot traceability must continue through cutting, fabrication and packing.
Management-system certificates held by Kongfang Metal
Material and inspection documents are prepared for the requirements of each order.
They do not certify Wuxi Hechuang Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. or the Hechuang Stainless Steel brand. Wuxi Kongfang Metal Products Co., Ltd. is the parent company, but that relationship does not extend the certificates’ holder or scope. Kongfang Metal management-system certificates are not order-specific material documents.

A useful request reads: “EN 10204 3.1 inspection document required.” Add it to both the RFQ and purchase order, together with the grade, product standard, dimensions, tests, marking, document language and heat or lot traceability. We will check that package against the proposed supply route before accepting the order.
Approved redacted sample
This two-page Eastern Special Steel Sample MTC shows approved 309S and 310S supply records. Customer and purchaser identities, contract and certificate numbers, item and heat identifiers, quantities, weights, contact channels and machine-readable codes have been securely removed. The mill identity, grade, standard, nominal dimensions, test labels and results, dates and seals remain so buyers can review the document layout.
The source sample does not identify itself as EN 10204 3.1, so it is not presented as a 3.1 document. Use it to review the layout only; the goods for your order need their own applicable material and traceability documents.
