Material Certificate Management at Alinco

At Alinco, we go beyond the standard provisions of EN1090 EXC1/2 with our comprehensive material certificate management. Our full traceability system for sheet materials allows us to precisely trace each sheet in our production to its lot. Here’s hsow we do it:

Our Process:

• 100% Certificates: For all orders of sheets, pipes, and welding materials, we standardly request 100% material certificates. Suppliers are asked to mention heat numbers on their delivery notes.
• Initial Inspection at Goods Receipt: Upon receiving goods, a pallet number is created per lot/heat number. The heat number on the sheet is checked and photographed. This photo is electronically linked to the pallet number in our system. A standard PMI test is conducted upon receiving 316 material.
• Thorough Certificate Check: Material certificates are checked on ten points. The heat number is compared with the entered data and the photo.
• Registration and Tracking: Once a sheet is used, the pallet number must be registered. The approved certificate is automatically linked to all cut subparts.
• Order Completion: Upon completion of the order, all certificates are collected in one folder, checked, and provided to the customer if requested.

Welding Materials and Project-Specific Parts

• Welding Materials: Certificates are 100% checked upon goods receipt.
• Project-Specific Parts: For parts like turning pieces and wheels, 100% traceability is no problem.

Other Materials

• Non-Standard Materials: For materials such as bolts and nuts, 100% traceability is currently not feasible. For projects requiring full traceability, these materials are purchased project-wise.

Certificates and Administrative Costs

• Advance Notice: Please indicate in advance if certificates are needed.

At Alinco, we ensure complete and clear material certificate management for all our sheet materials, guaranteeing the highest quality and traceability.
