Hi Ian
The manufacturer's certificate is worth having if you can get hold of it. I
would have thought that if you can quote the boiler number, Modelworks
should be able to provide a duplicate copy.
Some clubs (including my own) will accept the manufacturer's certificate as
evidence that a 2x hydraulic test has been carried out, subject to a re-test
to 1.5x before the steam test.
Regards
Ron Head
