What is UNI EN 1090 Certification?
UNI EN 1090 certification, based on European Directive 89/106/EC and Regulation no. 305/2011, sets the standard for the fabrication and assembly of steel and aluminum structural components. This certification is mandatory for companies in relevant sectors as of July 2014. The primary purpose of the EN 1090 standard is to ensure that the manufactured components meet the specified quality and safety standards for structural integrity and reliability. Certification is conducted by an accredited notified body, which, upon successful inspection, permits CE marking of the product. This marking allows products to be sold within the European market and to be used in public procurement projects.
The EN 1090 standard consists of several parts:
- UNI EN 1090-1: Requirements for conformity assessment of structural components.
- UNI EN 1090-2: Specifies the construction requirements for steel structures.
- UNI EN 1090-3: Covers requirements for aluminum structures.
Regarding welding, EN 1090 also references additional standards, including EN ISO 3834, EN ISO 14731, EN ISO 9606-1, and EN ISO 15614, which provide guidelines on welding quality and procedures.
Who Requires UNI EN 1090 Certification?
Manufacturers of structural steel and aluminum products, such as bolts, nails, brackets, rolled sections, profiles, bars, forgings, and metal components for steel-concrete composite structures, must obtain UNI EN 1090 certification. This requirement applies to companies producing pre-processed structural elements and those manufacturing metal structures or parts designed to be installed on-site. The certification ensures that all products comply with stringent safety and quality standards, particularly when used in public infrastructure projects.
