Full title and description

ISO 10474:2013 — Steel and steel products — Inspection documents. Specifies and classifies the different inspection documents and certificates that manufacturers, intermediaries and purchasers use for the delivery of steel products, and describes how these documents relate to order requirements and technical delivery conditions.

Abstract

ISO 10474:2013 defines the types of inspection documents to be supplied to a purchaser for delivered steel products, and indicates how those documents are to be used in conjunction with other technical delivery condition standards (for example ISO 404 for steel and steel products and ISO 4990 for steel castings).

Scope

The standard establishes a consistent classification and description of inspection documents that may be required with deliveries of steel products — including documents based on non‑specific inspection, documents based on specific inspection, documents supplied by intermediaries, and rules for validation of those documents. It is intended to be used alongside standards that set technical delivery conditions for particular steel products.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification of inspection documents (e.g., declarations and test reports based on non‑specific inspection; inspection certificates and reports based on specific inspection).
• Identification and definition of common document types historically referenced as 2.1 (declaration), 2.2 (test report), 3.1 (inspection certificate with subtypes) and 3.2 (inspection report), with rules on who issues and validates each type.
• Requirements for documents supplied by intermediaries and for traceability between product and documentation.
• Procedures and responsibilities for validation/signature by authorized, independent representatives where required.
• Cross‑references to product‑specific delivery condition standards that determine when particular inspection documents are required.

Typical use and users

Used by steel producers, foundries, processors, test laboratories, inspection and certification bodies, procurement and quality managers, and downstream purchasers who require documentary evidence of inspection and test results for conformity, acceptance and traceability. The standard helps harmonize the form and content of inspection documentation across supply chains.

Related standards

ISO 10474:2013 is intended to be applied together with product‑specific technical delivery condition standards such as ISO 404 (general technical delivery conditions for steel and steel products) and ISO 4990 (steel castings). It also aligns conceptually with EN/regionally adopted documents on inspection certificates (for example EN 10204 series) and with other ISO standards covering steel product specifications.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10474:2013 is an International Standard that defines and classifies the inspection and test documents supplied with deliveries of steel and steel products.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the types of inspection documents (both non‑specific and specific inspection documents), rules for documents supplied by intermediaries, and validation requirements for documents and signatures; it does not set product technical requirements itself but is used alongside product‑specific delivery condition standards.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Steel manufacturers and processors, inspection and testing laboratories, certification/inspection bodies, purchasers and quality/procurement personnel in supply chains that handle steel products.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2013 edition (Edition 2) is the current published version that replaced and superseded the 1991 edition; the older 1991 edition was withdrawn when the 2013 edition was published.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is not a numbered series in itself but is part of the body of ISO standards covering steel and steel products and is intended to be used with product‑specific delivery condition standards such as ISO 404 and ISO 4990; regional equivalents (for example the EN 10204 family) cover similar inspection‑document concepts.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Inspection documents, inspection certificate, test report, material certificate, 2.1, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2, steel products, validation, traceability.
