How to read a model-specific Mining Product Safety Certificate (MA)

1. Identify the document type before comparing it

Begin with the document title and issuing information. The catalogue includes Mining Product Safety Certificate (MA) records as well as a separately titled explosion-proof certificate. Keep different document types in separate categories. A document of one type should not be presented as a substitute for another required approval.

This article is a document-reading and purchasing checklist. It does not determine which approvals a particular installation needs. The equipment owner and responsible compliance or engineering personnel should identify the requirements for the intended product, market and use.

2. Match the legal holder and product model

Read the holder name on the original document rather than relying only on a website heading. The supplied records identify Zhejiang Huiqian Hydraulic Technology Co., Ltd. (descriptive English translation). The Chinese legal name in the preserved original remains authoritative; the holder is not replaced with the CHILL brand.

Compare the complete model on the certificate with the proposed order, including suffixes and other configuration information. If the model or manufacturer information differs, request an explanation and supporting documents before deciding whether the record applies. A similar product photograph does not resolve a mismatch.

3. Worked example from the supplied catalogue

This scan appears on PDF page 11 of the supplied catalogue and is available as MEE220167 in the certificate gallery. The example records what the document shows; it does not independently confirm authenticity, continuing validity, renewal, suspension or withdrawal.

4. Separate printed dates from current status

A catalogue may remain in circulation after its supporting documents change. Record the date on the scan, the date the copy was received and the date of any status check as separate facts. A future printed expiry date alone does not establish that nothing has changed since issue.

Request a current copy from the holder or supplier and appropriate confirmation from the issuing body or its official verification service. Retain the source and date of that confirmation. If the available scan is unclear, the model cannot be matched or status remains unresolved, identify the record as pending review rather than describing it as verified.

5. Keep the complete document intact

A website thumbnail is for navigation. This website and its downloadable catalogue present unofficial English reference translations, not official English certificates. The full translation pages preserve the printed model, number, dates, scope and conditions. Seals and signatures are not reproduced. Request a current original for verification; any unreadable source field is flagged rather than guessed.

• Retain the title, identifier, holder, product name, model, conditions, issuing information and all relevant pages.
• Keep the original-language copy alongside any translation so a reviewer can compare the wording.
• Do not remove limitations, dates or holder information when presenting a certificate on a product page.
• Ask whether supplementary pages or model lists form part of the document supplied for review.
• Link the reviewed document to the purchase line item and retain the final approved version.

6. Ask a precise documentation question

A useful request is: “For the proposed [full model], please provide the current certificate required for this application, confirm its legal holder and product scope, and identify the source and date of status verification. Please explain any difference from catalogue record [number].” This keeps the discussion tied to the item being purchased and avoids implying that one certificate covers the entire product range.
