I would like to clarify the following:
Third party inspection agency:
The term 'inspection' used to denote check on a product.
If the inspection task is assigned to a third party (that is independent of manufacturer or buyer) acting on their behalf is called a third party inspection and agency is called as third party inspection agency.
Third party certification agency:
Third party certification is an assessment of a site/facility by a certification body that is qualified and licensed to issue a certificate of a product, process or service (QMS, EMS etc). Certification bodies were assesed by an accreditation body against standards to accreditation scheme.
Coming to 3.2 inspection extract from EN 10204 is attached for your understanding.
Regards,

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EN 10204 3.1 AND 3.2
3.1 is a certificate issued by the mill which declares that the plates are in compliance with the specification and includes the test results. Test results are validated by the mill's in–house test department which has to be independent of the manufacturing department.
3.2 Certification is more rigorous and the certificate is prepared jointly by the mill's inspection department and an independent 3rd party inspectors are TUV or Lloyds Register. The certificate states that the plates are compliant with the relevant specification and the mill test certificate is included
