DIN EN 1090-1

Execution of steel structures and aluminium structures

All manufacturers of construction products made of steel or aluminium that fall under the scope of EN 1090ff, must prove that their products show the stated perfor-
mance characteristics, and that they are suitable for their intended use. This is called the conformity assessment. If the requirements are met and proven, the product
receives a CE-marking and may be marketed within the EU. The conduction of the conformity assessment is described in EN 1090-1.

The EN 1090 series of standards replaces national standards in metallic cons- The compliance of a component or kit with the requirements of EN 1090-1 shall
