In structural, pressure-bearing, or defense applications, just buying a Q&T plate isn’t enough — you need documented proof that every plate:
Certifications ensure your plates are accepted in EPC projects, audits, and inspections across India and internationally.
Without proper testing and documentation:
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, every Q&T plate comes with verifiable documentation from certified mills — Indian or imported
At Hindustan Steel Corporation, every Q&T plate is delivered with a complete set of certifications that ensure compliance with international project standards.
Below is a breakdown of what you can expect
| Spec Type | Details Included | Format |
|---|---|---|
| EN 10204 3.1 | Chemical + mechanical test results by manufacturer | Standard |
| EN 10204 3.2 | Verified by independent inspection authority | Optional |
| Standard | Application | Levels Available |
|---|---|---|
| EN 10160 | UT for lamination & defects | S1E1, S2E2, S3E3 |
| ASTM A578 | Non-destructive testing (NDT) | Level A / B / C |
Recommended for plates >25 mm used in welding, heavy stress, or project submissions.
| Grade | Standard | Typical Temperature | Minimum Energy |
|---|---|---|---|
| S690QL / S890QL | EN ISO 148-1 | –40°C or –60°C | ≥27 J / ≥40 J |
| A514 / A517 | ASTM A370 | Room temp or –20°C | Project-based |
Used for bridges, cranes, offshore, and defense applications.
Verified on longitudinal and transverse samples.
| Certificate / Record | Description |
|---|---|
| CE Declaration | For EN 10025-6 grades with CE marking |
| ISO 9001 / ISO 14001 | From mill or supplier |
| Heat Treatment Record | Plate-specific Q&T cycle traceability |
| Dimensional Inspection | Thickness, width, and flatness tolerance |
| BIS / ISI Mark (if Indian) | Optional for Indian structural grades |
| NABL Lab Retesting Report | On buyer request or government tenders |
Every project may demand different combinations — we help tailor your documentation pack for EPC, IBR, boiler, or defense clearance.
To help our clients ensure compliance, traceability, and audit readiness, we provide all certifications in digital + physical format, bundled per order or per plate batch.
Here’s what a typical Q&T plate documentation pack includes:
| Page Section | What You’ll See |
|---|---|
| Mill Logo + Serial | Manufacturer’s name, MTC ref number |
| Heat Number | Unique for traceability to slab & batch |
| Grade Details | e.g., S690QL / ASTM A514 / Dillimax 690T |
| Chemical Results | Actual % of C, Mn, Si, Cr, Ni, Mo, B etc. |
| Mechanical Results | Yield, tensile, elongation, hardness |
| Approval Signature | QA head signature & date stamped |
Each MTC is plate-specific and aligned with EN or ASTM format requirements.
Critical for structures in cold climates or dynamic stress zones.
All documents are shared via:
Not all Q&T plate buyers have the same compliance needs. Based on destination country or project type, the required testing, standards, and inspection documents may vary.
Below is a quick guide tailored for engineers, EPC buyers, and stockists:
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| CE Marking | Mandatory for structural steel use |
| EN 10025-6 | Accepted across all EU nations |
| MTC 3.1 / 3.2 | Required for public infra projects |
| TPI Accepted | Lloyds, DNV, TÜV, Apave, SGS |
Plates must be traceable to CE-compliant heat batches and include DoP declaration if for bridges or buildings.
| Test Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Visual Inspection | Surface cracks, undercuts |
| Magnetic Particle Test | Surface + near-surface flaws |
| Ultrasonic Test (UT) | Internal fusion, lamination |
| Radiographic Test (RT) | Full joint weld inspection |
| Charpy Impact Test | Especially in structural builds or cold climates |
We coordinate with local inspection agencies for project submissions in Dubai, Riyadh, Doha, etc.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| IS / BIS Stamp | Needed for IS 2062-based tenders |
| NABL Lab Re-Test | Sometimes demanded by BHEL, ONGC, etc. |
| TPI Required | RITES, EIL, SGS, or other PSU agencies |
We provide NABL-approved third-party testing on request for Indian rail, defense, and public infra jobs.
| Country | Typical Requirement |
|---|---|
| South Africa | EN 10204 MTC + CE marking optional |
| Vietnam / Malaysia | Dual standard plates preferred |
| Kenya / Nigeria | SGS / BV inspection + UT report mandatory |
