DSQ Steel Plate Certifications – ISO, IBR, and MTC Explained

When fabricating tanks, ducts, or chemical vessels using Dead Soft Quality (DSQ) steel plates, compliance is critical. At Hindustan Steel Corporation, every DSQ plate we supply under the HIND DSQ brand comes with verifiable certifications like:

  • ISO 9001 quality compliance
  • IBR approval for pressure use (on request)
  • IS 8917 conformity
  • MTC (Mill Test Certificate) with full heat traceability

This guarantees not just material reliability, but also global acceptance for export and third-party inspection.

Why Certifications Matter in Tank & Lining Projects

  • Assures end users of chemical compatibility and bendability
  • Speeds up approvals from consultants and QC teams
  • Enables use in critical process plants (galvanizing, pickling, etc.)
  • Required by EPC contractors for final sign-off
  • Required for rubber or FRP lining vendor approvals

Where Are These Certifications Needed?

Use Case Required Document Types
Acid tank manufacturing IS 8917 MTC + Chemical Composition
Galvanizing bath lining Hardness + Elongation reports
Export to Gulf/Europe ISO + EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2
EPC contract fabrication IBR (if pressure-bearing)

HIND DSQ – Quality Benchmarks for Every Plate

Every plate sold under the HIND DSQ tag undergoes

  • Heat number stamping
  • Thickness, width, and flatness inspection
  • Edge preparation or trimming report
  • Hardness and elongation conformity
  • Internal lamination check (optional UT on request

What’s Included in the MTC (Mill Test Certificate)?

Each MTC follows the IS 8917 format, and includes:

  • Plate dimensions and heat number
  • Heat treatment status (As Rolled)
  • Chemical composition (C, Mn, P, S)
  • Mechanical properties (YS, UTS, Elongation)
  • Surface finish type
  • Test results from NABL-accredited lab (on request)

All MTCs are digitally signed and provided in PDF.

ISO 9001:2015 – Why It Matters for DSQ Buyers

We operate under an ISO 9001-certified quality management system, ensuring:

  • Consistency in production
  • Full documentation traceability
  • Lot-wise quality control
  • Compliance with customer inspection criteria
    This also enables smoother export documentation to GCC, Southeast Asia, and Africa.

Third-Party Inspection & Traceability

We support full third-party inspection (TPI) coordination before dispatch.
TPI options include:

  1. Bureau Veritas (BV)
  2. SGS
  3. TUV Rheinland
  4. Lloyd’s Register
  5. RITES (Indian rail applications)

All inspection reports can be bundled with the shipment.

DSQ Plate Lab Testing Options

Upon buyer request, we provide the following:

  • Tensile test report
  • Flattening and bend test
  • Ultrasonic test (UT) for lamination
  • Charpy Impact test (temperature-defined)
  • Macro/microstructure imaging (for FRP-lined tanks)

We Share All Certificates Before Dispatch

  • MTC – IS 8917 format
  • IBR Form IIIA – if requested
  • ISO 9001:2015 Certificate
  • Test reports – mechanical, chemical
  • Inspection clearance from TPI – if arranged

Export Documentation for DSQ Plates

For international buyers, we ensure:

  • EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 format available
  • Certificate of Origin (India)
  • Bill of Lading + Packing List
  • Material Identification Report
  • Heat Number mapping with mill records

We’ve served buyers in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Vietnam, and Africa with full compliance kits.

Buyer Tip: Always Ask for MTC with Heat Number

To avoid grade mismatch or local rejections:

  • Insist on mill-stamped MTC
  • Match the heat number on plate + docs
  • If you’re lining tanks (FRP, rubber), ask for elongation + hardness test
  • Ask for IBR only if pressure application applies
