How can I verify the authenticity of the ABS AH32 steel plates I have purchased?

1. Check the Material Test Certificate (MTC): The steel plates purchased must be accompanied by a Material Test Certificate bearing the official ABS seal.

2. Check the steel plate stamp: The surface of the steel plate should bear a stamp applied by an ABS surveyor, which must include: the manufacturer’s code, material grade (AH32), and furnace number / batch number

3.Third-party verification: You can verify the authenticity of the certificate and the steel plate by entering the reference number on the certificate into the official ABS online database or by contacting your local ABS office.
