material and the nature of its final application. The most common document
referenced in the material sections of pressure equipment specifications is
the European Standard EN 10 204: Metallic products – types of inspection
documents. It provides for two main ‘levels’ of certification: Class ‘3’ and
Class ‘2’ (see Table 8.5).
