EN 10204 type 2.2 documents
Manufacturer test reports based on non-specific inspection: order compliance, test-result scope, distinctions from 2.1/3.1/3.2 and producer-specific additions.

An EN 10204 Type 2.2 test report combines the manufacturer's declaration of order compliance with results from non-specific inspection. The tests may concern other products made to the same specification by the same process. EN 10204:2004, clauses 2.1 and 3.2, public SIST preview
Compare the inspection basis and validation in all four EN 10204 document types.
Original bounded result example
Suppose an order specifies a tensile strength of at least 500 MPa and the Type 2.2 report gives a non-specific result of 560 MPa. The reported result is 60 MPa above the minimum. That difference applies to the reported measurement. Evidence about the strength of the delivered material depends on which material the test represents. A finished part may also need separate evidence after forming, welding or heat treatment.
Producer-specific content can go beyond the designation
SSAB's 2017 handbook describes extra evidence for its precision steel tubes. In its Type 2.2 reports, chemistry refers to the delivered products and tensile results to the delivered manufacturing lot. That linkage comes from SSAB's documented practice for those products. SSAB, Precision Steel Tube Handbook, second edition, §2.2
Tata Steel UK's Install195 declaration of performance for DN32 and larger welded carbon-steel tubes states that it supplies a non-specific Type 2.2 document for grade S195T (1.0026) under EN 10255:2004+A1:2007. The declaration describes the supply arrangement. The Type 2.2 report is the separate document that carries the inspection results. Tata Steel UK, Install195 declaration of performance
