a) quantities to be supplied;
b) dates of delivery;
c) material standard number;
d) delivery condition;
e) dimensions and tolerances or reference to an appropriate dimensional standard;
f) forwarding address;
g) nature and type of packing, if required;
h) surface protection, if appropriate;
i) definition and frequency of any special tests and their retest procedures, if required.
5 Health and safety
Products in the delivery condition shall fulfil the health and safety laws of the area of the country when
and where they are to be delivered.
A product safety data sheet shall be available.
6 Technical requirements
6.1 General
The product shall be manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the relevant material
standard and the applicable requirements of this technical specification. A manufacturing schedule shall
be established and applied in accordance with EN 2078.
The product shall satisfy the requirements of the material standard and/or order. Instructions for the use
of the material standard are contained in EN 4258. Unless otherwise specified, the requirements in Tables
1 and 2 shall apply in conjunction with those of the relevant material standard. Table 1 relates to lines 1
to 29 (inclusive) of the material standard and Table 2 relates to lines 30 onwards in which the sub-line
format is also used. Lines 2 to 98 may also be opened in line 100 if the material standard details specific
qualification requirements. If a specific line number is not shown in Tables 1 and 2, the requirement is
stated in the material standard and/or order.

6.2 Qualification requirements
Qualification requirements when invoked by the material standard and/or order are detailed in
Tables 1 and 2. Unless otherwise agreed between the manufacturer and purchaser the qualification
phase shall be as shown below:
Qualification phase
Starting Intermediate
st nd rd th th
1 , 2 and 3 batches 4 and 5 batches
6.3 Release requirements
6.3.1 Release tests
Release testing shall be the responsibility of the manufacturer.
The purchaser reserves the right to perform any of the inspections and/or tests required by the material
standard and/or order.
The test samples shall be representative of the product.
When required, the manufacturer shall inform the purchaser of the planned dates for extraction of
samples and release testing in order that these operations may be witnessed.
Tables 1 and 2 detail the requirements for each line of the material standard. Unless otherwise specifically
requested by the purchaser, a particular inspection and/or test for release shall be carried out if
corresponding acceptance criteria and/or values are stated in the applicable material standard, but see
also 6.3.5 "Capability clause".
6.3.2 Retests
If any requirement is not met, retests shall be carried out under the following conditions unless otherwise
stated in the material standard or order.
If the test procedure or test piece preparation is faulty, testing shall be re-applied at the original frequency
after rectification of the original cause of failure on a test sample located near the original one.
When failure cannot be attributed to faulty testing, or test piece preparation, further test samples shall
be selected at twice the original frequency from the product, 1 (one) of which shall be that on which the
original results were obtained unless already withdrawn by the manufacturer after suitable identification
of the cause of failure. If all retest results are satisfactory, the batch shall be accepted. If 1 (one) or more
tests are unsatisfactory, the batch shall be:
• rejected, or
• 100 % retested and the conforming products accepted, or
• partially or fully re-heat treated if heat treatment can rectify the cause of the failure and tested as a
completely new batch except for chemical composition. The re-heat treatment shall be stated on the
inspection and test report. No product or test sample shall be re-heat treated more than twice.

EN 4400-3:2019 (E)
6.3.3 Rejection
Any failure to meet the requirements of the material standard shall be cause for rejection.
6.3.4 Special tests
Special tests additional to those detailed in the material standard may be required by the purchaser. In
such cases, the nature of the test, method, frequency and acceptance criteria shall be specified on the
order or inspection schedule and shall be mutually agreed by the manufacturer and the purchaser.
6.3.5 Capability clause
Where sufficient statistical evidence exists that the required acceptance criteria can be routinely achieved
and with the agreement of the purchaser, the "capability clause" may be invoked when and where stated
in the material standard and / or this technical specification. In such cases, the test need not be carried
out for release purposes unless specifically requested by the purchaser. However, this in no way reduces
the obligations of the manufacturer to fulfil the requirements. If subsequent testing indicates that the
product does not comply with the requirements, the batch shall be rejected.
If the "capability clause" is invoked but sufficient statistical evidence does not exist, the test shall be
carried out for release purposes at a frequency agreed between the manufacturer and purchaser.
6.3.6 Statistical process control
Reduction in the extent of release testing, other than that defined in 6.3.5 above may be negotiated with
the purchaser on the basis of appropriate statistical process control and/or statistical data.
6.3.7 Inspection and test report
The manufacturer shall furnish, with each delivery, a report conforming to the requirements of EN 2078
stating the following:
a) manufacturer's name and address;
b) order number;
c) the following statement: "This product has been tested according to EN 4400-3";
d) material standard number;
e) delivery condition and metallurgical code of the product;
f) quantity and dimensions;
g) manufacturing and inspection schedule reference, if appropriate;
h) cast and batch number;
i) batch and/or test sample heat treatment, if required by the purchaser;
j) results of all tests and chemical analysis and re-tests.
6.4 Traceability
Each product shall be traceable to the cast, production batch and/or heat treatment batch at all stages of
manufacture, testing and delivery.
