[MW:25286] RE: 25285] EN 10204 3.1 Certificate Query

Dear Lauren,

 

According EN 10204 the original manufacturer should be mentioned on the certificate, once you change the information without mentioning the original manufacturer the required traceability of the material is lost and therefore not acceptable. Some companies use their own logo/letterheads, scan the original document and put this in a reduced size on their own document. Problem is that sometimes terrible copies become fully unreadable due to this action.

Another opportunity is to create your own certificate with reference to the original manufacturers certificate, you can take all the information from the original certificate but must refer to this certificate and also included a copy to your own certificate.

 

I don't know why your customer is requiring such but it's not normal practice and only may confuse people by creating extra documentation.

 

Met vriendelijke groeten / Best Regards,

Onderwerp: [MW:25285] EN 10204 3.1 Certificate Query

 

Hi All,

 

I have a question regarding EN 10204 3.1 certificates that I was hoping you could help me with.

 

We are an ISO certified company, but a client is requesting that we provide them with a certificate containing our company logos and letterheads etc. but we do not make the part. We import them, and therefore the certificate contains the sub-vendor's details. Would it be legal for us to change the sub-vendors details and replace them with ours? Or should we just inform the client this is not allowed? We run pressure tests and various other tests on the parts, but i'm not sure if this changes anything.

 

I can't seem to find any information regarding this type of question, and I would be most grateful for any help regarding this query.

 

Many thanks and kind regards,

 

Lauren Gosling
