A Mill Test Certificate (MTC), or Mill Test Report (MTR), is issued by a manufacturer to certify the chemical and mechanical features of a product and its compliance to the applicable norms and technical specifications. Typically, Mill Test Certificates conform to the EN 10204 standard and are related to steel products.
MILL TEST CERTIFICATE
A mill test certificate to EN 10204 shows, generally, the following information:
- Type of certificate and standard (example EN 10204 3.1 or EN 10204 3.2)
- Manufacturer name
- Product name and dimensions
- Quantity covered by the certificate (example: tons, with heat numbers)
- Heat numbers and batch number (physically shown on the product as well)
- Final test result
- Dimensional measurements, to check compliance with allowed tolerances (example, for steel pipes: diameter, wall thickness, length, straightness)
- Material grade and applicable specification, including results of chemical and mechanical tests
- Results of additional tests, like hydrostatic, ultrasounds (UT), hardness, impact test, magnetic particles, metal graphic result etc.
- Addenda useful to appraise the full features of the product
Sample mill test certificate (Tenaris steel pipes).

Hello, I need to know how to obtain they MILL TEST CERTIFICATE I’m so interested and I need to know more about
Hi Maurice,
Have you found someone to help you with that request ?
Hi send me the Sample standards
No.
can the Owner of an electrode manufacturing company certify batch test certificates when tests are carried out to 3.1 of EN 10204?
Actually i don’t know they can or not but i require 3.1 certificates of the electrodes and they send me. For any metallic materials 3.1 certificates needs to show heat number, required test results, applicable standards etc. In this case for electrodes, they can send you raw material test results for each batch (heat), but if you need after welding condition they need to make sample weld and test it. it is relative what you need it for. If you will use this certificates for a project you demand a sample certificate (3.1 or 2.1 according to your customer specs) and get approval from your customer beforehand. but i know electrode company can give any type of certificate you need.
Hello members,, I am working in a erw steel tube making company as a QC manager, Now when I make a mill test certificate at the enclosure I use to mention that the certificate is as per EN-10204/3.1B standard , as the said standard is referring our process, so mentioning the said standard directly in mtc is ok or shall i have to ask an organisation to have this certificate first,then only i can put EN-10204/3.1 B standard in my certificate,
Secondly I want to know,we are receiving our raw material, supplier certificate is inspection certificate/sometime mill test certificate,after receiving this raw material we are manufacturing steel tubes,sheets etc,so while making MTc I am writing the certificate is mill test certificate,is it okay or it should be material test certificate?
Don’t ask what others have done for you, but ask what you have done for others
Hi, could you please let me know if this certificate as well could be issued by equipment manufactures? or it’s only for metal parts production?
Thanks
How can I check Heat no. for COO? You have any website to check this?

I think the statement, ‘Typically, Mill Test Certificates conform to the EN 10204 standard and are related to steel products’ is misleading. Aren’t we really takling about all metallic materials i.e. ferrous and non-ferrous e.g. Aluminium or Cast Iron?
Is test certificate 3.1 is traceable ?
Thanks dear for the information.
Who can issue MTC? I received 3.1 MTC from a machining company(raw material is from other manufacturer)
I know its not acceptable but I don’t have any reference(since machining company is saying I am certifying that this material meets the requirements of PO)
IS THIS DNV APPROVAL
