About the Standard
What Is EN 1090 Certification?
EN 1090 Certification shows that companies making structural steel and aluminium parts have proper processes and systems in place to follow the EN 1090 Standard.
This certification is important for manufacturers and fabricators working with structural steel and aluminium, especially when they need to meet conformity assessment rules and CE marking requirements.
The certification process looks at several key areas like how the factory controls production, welding practices, tracking materials, conducting inspections and tests, and keeping proper technical records.
For companies wanting to get structural steel certification, EN 1090 offers a clear way to manage their production and show they meet the required standards.
EN 1090-1: Conformity Assessment
EN 1090-1 sets out the rules for checking if structural steel and aluminium parts meet the required standards.It helps makers set up proper quality control processes and show that their products comply with the necessary standards.
EN 1090-2: Technical Requirements for Steel Structures
EN 1090-2 sets out the technical rules for making steel structures.It includes important parts like how to make the steel, weld it together, check its quality, and ensure it meets standards.
EN 1090-3: Technical Requirements for Aluminium Structures
EN 1090-3 sets out the technical rules for making aluminium structures.It covers the need for proper fabrication, construction, checking, and ensuring quality in the aluminium parts used in structures.
Benefits of EN 1090 Certification
CE Marking Compliance
Verifies conformity with the requirements for CE marking under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR).
Factory Production Control
Verifies the implementation and maintenance of effective Factory Production Control (FPC) system.
Execution Class
Assigns the correct Execution Class (EXC1 to EXC4) based on how the structure is used and what execution needs are required.
Qualified Welding Coordination
Verifies qualified welding coordination, welding procedures and qualified personnel in accordance with applicable standards.
Material Traceability
Checks the identity and ability to track structural materials, welding supplies, and production records during the entire manufacturing process.
Technical Requirements for EN 1090 Certification
EN 1090 sets out the technical requirements for making structural steel and aluminium parts.It covers things like Factory Production Control (FPC), welding, tracking the materials used, checking and testing the components, keeping proper technical records, and ensuring compliance for the CE marking under the CPR.
Factory Production Control
Documented & Implemented FPC to ensure consistent manufacturing and product conformity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is EN 1090 Certification?
EN 1090 Certification shows that the manufacturers who make structural steel and aluminium parts follow the correct production controls and processes as required by the EN 1090 standards.
What is the difference between EN 1090-1 and EN 1090-2?
EN 1090-1 is about checking if structural parts meet the required standards, and EN 1090-2 gives the technical rules for building steel structures.
How do I get EN 1090 Certification?
The process usually starts by figuring out the right scope and type of execution, setting up Factory Production Control (FPC), checking the welding and production controls, making the necessary documents, and finishing the certification assessment as needed.
What are EN 1090 Execution Classes?
EN 1090 uses four Execution Classes—EXC1, EXC2, EXC3, and EXC4—to set different levels of how the work is done and the quality needed, depending on the project and the situation it’s in.
What is EXC2 in EN 1090?
EXC2 is one of the execution classes outlined in EN 1090.It is typically used for standard structural projects, but it depends on the specific needs of the project and the relevant classification standards.
What documents are required for EN 1090 Certification?
Depending on how broad the certification is, the documents needed might include records from the factory’s production control, Welding Procedure Specification and Welding Procedure Qualification Record files, proof of welder qualifications, certificates for materials used, records showing where materials came from, records of inspections and tests done, records of equipment calibration, and other technical paperwork.
What is the relationship between EN 1090 and CE Marking?
EN 1090 sets out the rules that are needed to check if structural steel and aluminum parts meet the right standards.If a product needs a CE mark, the maker has to follow the correct steps to check compliance and prepare the right paperwork.
How much does EN 1090 Certification cost?
The cost of EN 1090 Certification varies based on things like the range of the certification, the products involved, the execution class, the manufacturing methods used, the documentation needed, and the assessment requirements.Reach out to PZVAR to get a certification evaluation and a price quote.
