What is EN 1090 certification?

The EN 1090 certificate is a mandatory conformity certificate for structural components made of steel and aluminum, ensuring they comply with European Union technical regulations before being placed on the market. Manufacturers holding this certificate are entitled to affix the CE mark to their products, allowing them to circulate freely within the European Economic Area (EEA). The EN 1090 standard specifically covers the production, welding, assembly, and quality control processes of load-bearing structural elements. It also requires manufacturers to establish a factory production control (FPC) system and make their production processes traceable. The EN 1090 certificate has become a legal requirement under the European Construction Products Regulation (CPR). This certificate allows companies to fulfill their legal responsibilities and gain a competitive advantage internationally.ISO Star GlobalWe offer professional support for all your technical and consulting needs throughout this process.

What is the purpose of EN 1090 certification?

The primary purpose of the EN 1090 certificate is to guarantee that steel and aluminum structural components used in the construction industry are manufactured safely, durably, with high quality, and in accordance with European Union standards. Thanks to this certificate, the design, production stages, welding processes, assembly applications, and final quality control of structural elements are carried out according to defined technical criteria. This not only improves product quality but also enhances structural safety. It is particularly accepted as a safety standard in public projects, large infrastructure investments, and industrial facilities. EN 1090 enables manufacturers to use the CE mark, allowing for the free movement of products in the European market. Furthermore, this certificate demonstrates not only the technical competence of businesses but also their quality management systems. This strengthens brand reputation, increases customer trust, and enhances competitiveness in international markets.ISO Star GlobalBy supporting you every step of this process, we ensure your company achieves legal, technical, and commercial gains.

What does the EN 1090 certificate cover?

The EN 1090 standard encompasses a broad framework covering the design, manufacture, assembly, and related quality control of steel and aluminum structural components. One of the standard's most important elements is its integration with Quality Assurance Systems for Welded Fabrication. In particular, companies engaged in welded fabrication must also operate in compliance with the ISO 3834 series, as this falls under the scope of EN 1090.

• Material selection and traceability
• Control of production and sourcing procedures
• Personnel qualifications and welder certification
• Product testing and inspection processes
• Quality management and factory production control systems (FPC)

Why Obtain EN 1090 Certification?

The EN 1090 certificate is a legal requirement, especially for manufacturers targeting the European Union market. It is essential for steel and aluminum products used in the construction sector to bear the CE mark. Without the CE mark, products cannot be sold on the European market. Furthermore, this certificate provides a competitive advantage for companies seeking to undertake large-scale national and international projects. Due to increasing expectations for quality and safety, many public institutions and private sector organizations require EN 1090 certificates from their suppliers. The certificate demonstrates that the company's production processes comply with quality management systems, as well as its adherence to legal regulations and its professionalism within the sector.
