EN 10204 type 2.1 documents

Meaning of Type 2.1

An EN 10204 Type 2.1 declaration is the manufacturer's statement that the supplied product complies with the order. It contains no test results. The order defines what the declaration covers. Process Fittings, Material Certification Reports

Compare the evidence in all four EN 10204 document types.

Compliance depends on the order's subject

STAHL CraneSystems illustrates Type 2.1 with a declaration for complete hoists and components. Its sample ties the declaration to a customer, order, hoist type and serial number, and cites contract documents, drawings and standards. The sample mentions testing and ISO 9001 certification while supplying no test results. A declaration can accompany a tested product. STAHL CraneSystems, Documentation, rev. 23 July 2021, §4.4.1

Printed numbers need not be test results

A Process Fittings sample includes a composition table of specification limits from a historical ASTM edition. Those percentages describe what the specification allowed. Measured chemistry would identify the actual result and the material it represents. Process Fittings, 2.1 sample certificate

Original bounded example

Suppose an order for 100 spacers specifies a finished diameter of 20.00 ± 0.05 mm. The drawing allows 19.95–20.05 mm. A 2.1 declaration states that the spacers comply with the order. The interval comes from the drawing and says nothing about the observed spread or the number of spacers inspected.

A separate report with readings of 19.98, 20.01 and 20.04 mm supplies measured evidence for those three observations. All three fall within the drawing limits. Acceptance of the lot would still depend on the applicable sampling and measurement requirements.

Standards and source boundaries

ISO 10474:2013 covers inspection documents for steel products alongside the applicable technical delivery standards. An order that specifies EN 10204 sets its own documentary requirement. ISO 10474:2013, public scope
