An EN 10204 type 3.2 inspection certificate shows that a metallic product conforms to the order requirements and is validated both by the manufacturer's authorized inspection representative and by the purchaser's authorized inspection representative or the inspector designated by the official regulations. It is frequently required in pressure equipment, energy and petrochemical projects. MEKATEST takes part in this process as an independent inspection body.
The service is carried out within the scope for which MEKATEST is accredited by TÜRKAK as a Type A inspection body under TS EN ISO/IEC 17020 (AB-0873-M). As a Type A inspection body we work as an independent third party, separate from both manufacturer and purchaser.
