Sampling and testing in accredited laboratories
Evaluation
All results are evaluated and decision is made
Certification
Certificate is issued and CE marking right is granted
EN 1090 Certification Scope
EN 1090 standard is the European harmonized standard for fabrication and assembly of load-bearing steel and aluminum structures. This certification, mandatory for CE marking, guarantees structural safety.
Execution Class 1
Low risk, statically loaded simple structures
Examples: Agricultural buildings, small warehouses
Execution Class 2
Medium risk, general structures
Examples: Residential, office, commercial buildings
Execution Class 3
High risk, complex structures
Examples: Bridges, high-rise buildings, stadiums
Execution Class 4
Very high risk, critical structures
Examples: Nuclear facilities, special engineering structures
Steel Construction Manufacturing
Factory, warehouse, hangar structures
Bridges and Infrastructure
Highway, railway bridges
Industrial Facilities
Power plants, refineries
Handling Systems
Cranes, conveyors, platforms
FPC System Requirements

Surveillance and Certificate Validity
EN 1090 certificates are subject to continuous surveillance audits. The effectiveness of the FPC system is checked through annual surveillance audits. Certificate validity depends on maintaining production quality.
- First year: At least 2 surveillance audits
- Following years: At least 1 surveillance audit annually
- Additional audit may be required for significant changes
- Certificate may be suspended for nonconformities
