EN1090-1 - Certification of factory production control for manufacturers of structural steel or aluminium parts

EN 1090-1 is a European standard for proof of conformity for load-bearing components made of steel or aluminium. It requires certification of the factory production control by a recognized institution.

It also specifies the time intervals at which inspections must take place.

The standard also contains the rules according to which the CE mark and the declaration of performance may be placed on the market.

Since 2014, only construction products that have a CE mark may be placed on the market in the EU.

The certificate confirms that the employees are qualified for factory production control. The requirements depend on the execution class in which the components or kits are manufactured.

It also serves as proof that the necessary technical equipment is available.

This gives the customer the security that all specified essential product properties are guaranteed.

The standard not only applies to companies that manufacture building products, but also when they subcontract production. Changes to existing products must also be certified.
