How to Verify EN 10204 3.1 Compliance in Imported Steel
Buyers ask us about EN 10204 3.1 every week, and the same questions come up: which grade, what certificate, how much per tonne, and how it ships. This guide answers all of them, so you can specify and order EN 10204 3.1 with confidence.
What EN 10204 3.1 covers
EN 10204 3.1 is a reference standard for reinforcing/structural steel defining mechanical properties, chemistry limits and test methods. Material claiming EN 10204 3.1 must be backed by test evidence, not a label.
Testing & certification
Every shipment ships with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate tied to the heat number, recording chemistry, tensile results and bend/rebend tests — your full traceability chain.
For EN 10204 3.1, check tensile, yield, elongation and bend/rebend results on the 3.1 certificate against the standard’s tables.
Verifying compliance on import
Cross-check the heat number on the certificate to the tag on the bundle, confirm the issuing mill, and request third-party approval where the project demands it.
