EN 1090 is a European series of standards covering the manufacture and conformity assessment of structural steel and aluminium components. It sets requirements for a Factory Production Control (FPC) including processes such as fabrication, welding, inspection, traceability and needed to demonstrate that structural components meet their specified performance requirements.
For manufacturers of structural components within its scope, EN 1090 provides the conformity assessment framework for placing products on the market. Structural products covered by EN 1090 need to meet UK conformity requirements and carry the UKCA mark. In the EU, the CE mark is used instead.
In simple terms: EN 1090 provides a controlled system for ensuring that structural steel and aluminium components are consistently manufactured to the required specification and are suitable for their intended structural use.
In the UK, where a structural component falls within the scope of the applicable construction product requirements, the manufacturer has legal obligations relating to the placing of that product on the market.
