General / Project Information
Inspection & test plan (ITP), deviations and concessions, NCRs, Certificate of Compliance, release note.
A free, neutral starting structure for fabricators delivering MDBs — or MRBs — under PED 2014/68/EU, ASME BPVC, EN 13445, NORSOK and similar codes. Cover page, table of contents and twelve chapters with 52 ready-made section dividers to adapt for your project — in the same design as the MDB Builder app.

An MDB template is a structured document index for the certificates, reports, drawings and compliance records that a Manufacturing Data Book must contain at project handover. A typical MDB template covers project information, materials, welding, non-destructive testing, dimensional inspection, pressure or leak testing, drawings, and certificates and declarations — this free template expands those into twelve chapters with 52 ready-made section dividers.

You're in the right place. A Manufacturing Record Book (MRB) and a Manufacturing Data Book (MDB) are the same deliverable under different names. "MRB" is the term you'll hear in oil & gas and under NORSOK; "MDB" is used more broadly across pressure equipment, structural steel and general fabrication. The structure is identical — so this template works as an MRB template too. Rename the cover, keep the chapters, adapt the index to your project's document requirements list (VDR / SDRL).

The MDB Builder app generates the structure for you, lets suppliers upload directly into the chapters they own, tracks IFR / IFA / Approved revisions, and assembles the final bookmarked PDF for online client review. You're already on the waitlist when you download the template above. Launching Q3 2026.
See how it worksThe template is a 57-page PDF with a branded cover page, a project banner page, a table of contents and a divider page for every section of a standard MDB — 52 sections across twelve chapters, from project information, engineering, materials and welding through heat treatment, NDE, dimensional control and pressure testing to coating, FAT, preservation and operations & maintenance. Every divider carries the project and product information blocks, so each section of your data book opens with a consistent header sheet.

It is a neutral starting structure that works as a base for fabrication MDBs under PED 2014/68/EU, ASME BPVC, EN 13445, NORSOK and equivalent codes. The template does not enforce one specific code — you adapt the chapter list and content to the contract and the code that applies to your project.
The PDF is intended as a printable / fillable starting point. For a fully editable MDB structure with supplier collaboration, IFR / IFA / Approved revision tracking, automatic PDF assembly and online client review, the MDB Builder app — launching Q3 2026 — generates the same structure (and more) in three minutes per project.

Yes. A Manufacturing Record Book (MRB) and a Manufacturing Data Book (MDB) are the same deliverable under different names — 'MRB' is the term common in oil & gas and under NORSOK, while 'MDB' is used more broadly. The same template works as an MRB template: rename the cover to 'Manufacturing Record Book', keep the chapter structure, and adapt the index to your project's document requirements list (VDR/SDRL).
A typical MRB index lists the same chapters as an MDB — project information, materials (with EN 10204 3.1/3.2 certificates), welding (WPS/PQR/welder qualifications), NDT reports, dimensional inspection, pressure testing, drawings (including as-built), and certificates and declarations. Each chapter then lists the individual documents collected for that item, tagged with revision and status. The template's section dividers double as an MRB index sample you can fill in directly.
