Why Buyers Search for an MTC Template
Many buyers search for an "MTC 3.1 template" because they want to know whether a supplier's certificate is complete. The safer approach is not to copy a sample certificate. A sample can be fake, outdated, or unrelated to your product. Instead, use a field checklist based on the purpose of EN 10204 inspection documents.
Public summaries of EN 10204 describe it as a standard for types of inspection documents for metallic products. For pipe fittings and flanges, the certificate must help the buyer connect the delivered product to the order, material grade, heat number and required test results.
