CSM has been awarded EN1090 Certification up to Execution Class 4
EN 1090 certification pertains to the compliance with European standards for the execution of steel and aluminum structures. It ensures that these structures are designed, manufactured, and installed to meet specific safety and performance requirements. Here’s a detailed overview of EN 1090 certification:
Key Components
CE Marking
EN 1090 certification is closely linked with CE marking. Structural steel and aluminum components need to have CE marking to be legally placed on the market within the European Economic Area (EEA). The CE marking demonstrates that the product complies with the relevant EU legislation.
Factory Production Control (FPC)
Manufacturers must implement a Factory Production Control system to ensure that their products meet the required standards. This includes procedures for design, production, and quality control.
Welding Certification
Welding is a critical process in the fabrication of steel and aluminum structures. EN 1090 requires that welding processes are carried out by certified welders and that the welding quality is maintained according to specified standards, such as EN ISO 3834.
Execution Classes
The standard defines four execution classes (EXC1 to EXC4), which determine the level of quality assurance and control required based on the complexity and risk associated with the structure. Higher classes require more stringent controls and higher levels of expertise.
Who Needs EN 1090 Certification?
Manufacturers, fabricators, and suppliers of steel and aluminium structural components who want to sell their products within the EEA must obtain EN 1090 certification. This includes companies involved in the construction of buildings, bridges, and other structures where steel and aluminium are used.
