Certification FAQs
What is PED 2014/68/EU and why does it matter for fastener procurement?+
PED 2014/68/EU (Pressure Equipment Directive) is EU law requiring that components — including bolting — used in pressure equipment above 0.5 bar meet essential safety requirements and are sourced from a certified supplier. LOKRON's PED Certificate No. MUE-008-002-2026, issued by EU Notified Body C&P srl (Italy, NB 0681), satisfies this requirement for ASTM A193, A320, and A194 grades.
How do I verify LOKRON's PED Notified Body certificate?+
LOKRON's PED certificate (No. MUE-008-002-2026) was issued by C&P srl, registered as EU Notified Body 0681. You can verify this on the European Commission's NANDO database at ec.europa.eu/growth/tools-databases/nando/. Certificate valid February 2026 – February 2029.
Does LOKRON supply EN 10204 Type 3.1 material test reports?+
Yes. All LOKRON shipments for critical applications include EN 10204 Type 3.1 MTRs — independently witnessed and signed by a third-party inspector. Type 3.2 (dual-witnessed) is available on request. These reports include full chemical analysis and mechanical test results referenced to the specific heat number.
Is IATF 16949 required for automotive fastener supply?+
Yes. IATF 16949:2016 is the automotive quality management standard required by Tier 1 suppliers and OEM customers for production part approval (PPAP). LOKRON's IATF 16949 certification covers automotive engine, chassis, and driveline fastener manufacturing.
What is the difference between NACE MR0175 and ISO 15156?+
NACE MR0175 and ISO 15156 are equivalent standards (NACE is the US designation, ISO 15156 is the international equivalent) governing materials used in H₂S-containing (sour) environments. For fasteners, the key requirement is a maximum hardness of 22 HRC for ASTM A193 B7M and L7M grades. LOKRON provides NACE compliance letters with all sour-service grade shipments.
