EN 1090 Standards
Ensure market access of steel and aluminium structures in the European market
Steel and aluminium construction must comply with the requirements of the EN 1090 standards to obtain the CE Marking for their structures and access the European market. Under the requirements, manufacturers have to prove the conformity of their products through type testing tests and the certification of their Factory Production Control (FPC) by a third-party Notified Body before issuing a Declaration of Performance.
TÜV SÜD is a third-party Notified Body authorised to carry out assessment and certification. From the onset, our experts provide the complete certification process in accordance with EN 1090-1. We certify your FPC based on the initial inspection and factory production control. In addition, we conduct ongoing surveillance, evaluation and assessment of your FPC.
