EN 1090 Certification
Execution of Structural Steel and Aluminium Structures
EN 1090 Certification sets out the rules for checking if Structural Steel and Aluminium Components meet certain standards.An independent certification process checks whether these components follow Factory Production Control (FPC), welding coordination, approved welding methods, trained personnel, and the necessary requirements for CE marking as outlined in the Construction Products Regulation (CPR).

About the Standard
What is EN 1090?
EN 1090 is a European standard that sets the rules for making structural steel and aluminum parts.It includes the requirements that manufacturers must follow to show their products meet the necessary standards.This includes Factory Production Control (FPC), welding, tracking of materials, checking and testing, and keeping technical documents for CE marking under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) (EU) No.305/2011.
This standard is made for parts that hold up structures like buildings, bridges, factories, and other construction projects.
It divides these parts into different levels called Execution Classes (EXC1, EXC2, EXC3, EXC4), based on how they are used and the risk involved.It also has rules for production control, welding procedures, inspection, testing, and keeping records to prove the product meets European standards.
EN 1090 applies to companies that make steel and aluminum parts used in construction.
Getting EN 1090 certification shows that a company’s production process meets the requirements for CE marking under the CPR.
Why It Matters
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, qualified welding procedures and 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.
Welding Qualification
Qualified welding procedures and welding personnel in accordance with applicable standards.
Welding Coordination
Qualified welding coordination peronnel responsible for the supervision and control of welding activities.
Execution Class
Using the correct Execution Class (EXC1, EXC2, EXC3, or EXC4) based on the intended purpose of the structural part.
Material Traceability
Identification and traceability of materials and welded compent throughout the manufacturing process.
Equipment Calibration
Calibration and maintenance of welding, measuring and inspection equipment.
Technical Documentation
Maintained FPC records, inspection reports, welding and CE marking documentation
CE Marking Compliance
Conformity with the applicable requirements for CE marking under the CPR.
