CE EN 1090 Certification

Regulate the fabrication and assembly of steel and aluminium structures

About EN 1090 Certification

EN 1090 is a European standard that governs the fabrication and assembly of structural steel and aluminum components. It is mandatory for companies placing construction products on the European market, in accordance with the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) No. 305/2011.

CE marking under EN 1090 demonstrates that structural components meet essential performance and safety requirements for load-bearing structures such as bridges, buildings, industrial platforms, and infrastructure systems.

Key Components of EN 1090 Certification

  • Execution Classes (EXC1–EXC4): Classification based on the complexity and criticality of the structure, from simple elements to high-risk applications.
  • Factory Production Control (FPC): Quality management system to ensure consistent production and compliance with declared performance.
  • Welding Coordination: Qualification of welding coordinators and procedures in accordance with ISO 3834.
  • Initial Type Testing (ITT): Product testing and evaluation for mechanical properties and structural performance.
  • Material Traceability: Clear documentation and control of raw materials used in fabrication.
  • Declaration of Performance (DoP): Formal statement of conformity with essential characteristics and standards.
  • CE Marking: Affixing the CE symbol along with EN 1090 reference and manufacturer details on products and documentation.

Why EN 1090 Certification Matters

  • Mandatory for exporting structural steel and aluminum components to EU countries.
  • Demonstrates compliance with construction safety and performance standards.
  • Enhances credibility with contractors, engineers, and public sector clients.
  • Reduces risk of product rejection and legal liabilities.
  • Supports access to high-value infrastructure and construction projects.
  • Integrates with ISO 9001 and ISO 3834 for a complete quality framework.
  • Shows commitment to quality, reliability, and regulatory compliance.

At Eurotech Canada, we assist structural steel and aluminum manufacturers in achieving EN 1090 compliance by providing technical audits, training, welding support, and coordination with Notified Bodies.
