Quality is the paperwork as much as the metal

In specialty alloys, a grade is only as good as its provenance. Here is exactly what leaves with your shipment, what we test, and which standards we routinely work to.

Documentation package

What ships with every order

Standard documentation is included at no extra cost. Anything beyond this list can be arranged — tell us what your QA department needs at the quotation stage.

Mill test certificate

EN 10204 3.1 as standard, issued by the producing mill, with the full chemical analysis and mechanical properties for the actual heat supplied.

EN 10204 3.2 (on request)

Certificate countersigned by an independent nominated inspection body — required for pressure equipment and many EPC projects.

Heat-number traceability

The heat number is stencilled on the material and printed on the certificate, the packing list and the invoice — a single thread from mill to your store.

PMI report

Positive material identification by XRF or OES on finished material, verifying the grade physically before it is packed.

Export documents

Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin (CO / Form E / Form A as applicable), and HS classification support.

Third-party inspection

SGS, BV, TÜV, Intertek or your own inspector — we arrange and accommodate pre-shipment inspection as standard practice.

Inspection & testing

What we check before material is released

Not every order needs every test. We agree the inspection and test plan with you at quotation stage, then execute against it and report the results.

  • Chemical analysis — OES / XRF verification of every element against the specified range.
  • Mechanical properties — tensile, yield, elongation and hardness, plus impact testing for low-temperature and duplex service.
  • Non-destructive testing — UT, RT, PT and MT to ASME / ASTM acceptance criteria; eddy current for tube.
  • Dimensional inspection — thickness, OD, ID, length and straightness with a recorded report.
  • Corrosion testing — intergranular corrosion (ASTM A262 practice A/E), ferrite content for duplex, and hardness after ageing for PH grades.

Third-party lab testing on request

Where a project requires accredited laboratory results, we arrange testing through recognised independent laboratories and include the reports in the document pack.

Standards coverage

Standards we supply against

Tell us the standard on your drawing or purchase order and we will confirm the grade and form that satisfies it.

Our commitment

Three things we will not compromise on

The certificate matches the metal

If the heat number on the certificate does not match the material, we do not ship it. No exceptions, however tight the deadline.

We say when we cannot supply

A grade that needs a mill order and a minimum tonnage will be quoted as exactly that — not dressed up as ready stock.

A problem is our problem

If material arrives out of specification, we investigate, replace or credit. We would rather carry the cost than lose the relationship.

Need a documentation sample before you commit?

Ask us for a redacted sample certificate for the grade you are considering. We are happy to show what you will actually receive.
