BE EN 1090 came into force from 1 July 2014, but what does the introduction of BS EN 1090 mean?

If you are involved in the manufacture of structural steelwork products, then as of 01 July 2014 the choice is simple; no certification, no business!

The Construction Products Directive (CPD) of 1989 was conceived in order to provide a common framework across the whole of the European Union to ensure the integrity of buildings and construction works.

Because fabricated steel components are deemed “safety critical”, if you are involved in the manufacture or supply of these products then under the CPD it is now a legal requirement for you to adhere to the stringent requirements of BS EN 1090. You must also ensure that your products are appropriately CE marked.
