Certification, Standards & Documentation for Industrial Sealing Products

Kaxite maintains an ISO 9001 quality management system and manufactures industrial sealing products to international dimensional and material standards. Buyers evaluating a supplier often need to verify management systems, product standards, material certificates, and third-party test reports — these are different types of evidence, and we aim to make the distinction clear. This page explains what Kaxite can provide, what depends on the product and order, and what should be confirmed before purchase.

What Kaxite Can Provide

Five Categories of Compliance Evidence

Each category below is a different type of evidence. They are not interchangeable, and buyers should confirm the specific evidence required for their project before ordering.

1. Management System Certification

Held by Kaxite

Kaxite maintains an ISO 9001 quality management system. The certificate identifies the certification body, certificate number, scope, covered entity, and validity period.

Buyers should confirm that the certificate covers the specific product or activity relevant to their order. A management-system certificate covers the organization and its processes — it is not a product-specific approval.

2. Product Standards & Dimensional Compliance

Confirmed per product & order

Kaxite manufactures products to the dimensional and material requirements of standards such as ASME B16.20, API 6A, DIN, BS, and JIS where applicable to the product family.

Compliance with a standard means the product is manufactured to that standard's requirements. It does not automatically mean the product has been certified or approved by the standard's issuing body.

3. Material Certificates

EN 10204 3.1 available; 3.2 upon request

Material certificates per EN 10204 3.1 are commonly included with metallic gasket orders. EN 10204 3.2 certificates can be arranged upon request, subject to product and order requirements.

Heat-number traceability links the finished product back to the mill test certificate. Material certificates confirm material composition and properties — they are not product certifications.

4. Third-Party Test Reports

Arranged upon request

Where applicable, Kaxite can arrange third-party test reports for material properties or product performance. Each report identifies the tested material or product, the testing organization, report reference, date, and scope.

A test report covers the specific material or sample tested. It is not equivalent to a product certification or a factory-wide approval.

5. Product-Specific Approvals

Discussed per order

Approvals such as API 607 fire testing, NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 sour service compliance, CE marking, FDA food-contact compliance, and RoHS compliance depend on the specific product, material, and application.

Buyers should specify the required approval in the RFQ so that Kaxite can confirm availability, lead time, and applicable documentation for the specific product and order.

What Kaxite Cannot Do

Kaxite does not issue certifications on behalf of standards bodies or third-party certification agencies. We provide certificates, test reports, and compliance evidence obtained through the relevant certification bodies, testing laboratories, or material suppliers.

If a project requires an approval that Kaxite cannot currently support, our team will confirm this during the quotation stage rather than after order placement.

Documentation by Product Family

What Documentation Is Typically Available

The documentation available depends on the product family and confirmed order requirements. The list below shows what Kaxite typically provides and what should be confirmed in the RFQ.

Product Family
Documentation Typically Available
Industrial Gaskets(spiral wound, ring joint, graphite, PTFE, rubber, non-asbestos)
Material certificates per EN 10204 3.1; dimensional inspection records against ASME B16.20 or applicable standard; third-party test reports on request; API 6A hardness records for ring gaskets where applicable.
Braided Gland Packing(graphite, aramid, carbon fiber, PTFE-based)
Material certificates for raw materials; test reports for applicable physical properties; packing construction and dimension records.
Graphite & PTFE Materials(sheets, tapes, rolls, processed components)
Material certificates; test reports for compressibility, recovery, or creep where applicable; FDA 21 CFR 177.1550 and RoHS documentation where applicable and available for the specific material.
Custom Sealing Components
Inspection records against the agreed drawing and inspection plan; material certificates; dimensional records; third-party inspection reports where arranged.
Sealing Tools & Fillers
Product specifications and dimensions; material certificates where applicable. Certification scope for tools is generally limited to product specifications rather than product approvals.
Terminology Clarification

Certification, Compliance, Test Report, Material Certificate — Not the Same Thing

These terms are often used interchangeably in procurement documents, but they refer to different types of evidence. Understanding the difference helps buyers specify the right documentation in the RFQ.

Certification

A certificate issued by an accredited certification body confirming that a management system or product meets a specified standard. It has a certificate number, scope, and validity period, and is verifiable with the issuing body.

Standard Compliance

The product is manufactured to the dimensional, material, and performance requirements of a published standard. It does not automatically mean the product has been certified or approved by the standard's issuing body.

Test Report

Results of a specific test performed on a specific material or product sample, issued by an in-house or third-party laboratory. It covers the sample tested, not the entire production or the factory.

Material Certificate

A document confirming the composition and properties of a raw material or finished part, typically referenced to EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2. It confirms material properties, not product approvals.
