UNI 1090 certification

CPR 305/2011/EC - UNI 1090 standard

​

For Structural works in Steel and Aluminum

​

The companies required to obtain the UNI1090 Certification are not to be confused with the steel transformation centres, whose requirements are listed in the DM 14.01.2008 - Technical standards for construction.

​

The EU Regulation 305/2011 which came into force on 1 July 2013 replaced the previous directive 89/106/EEC (Construction Products Directive 89/106 CPD) maintaining the obligation of CE marking and introducing a series of innovations  for companies operating in the sector of design and production of structural components in steel and aluminum for the construction of steel or mixed structures (concrete-steel) and has been mandatory since 1 July 2014 in order to place these building materials on the market.

​

From this date, manufacturers of metal components in steel and aluminum for structural use used in construction will have to comply with the provisions contained in the UNI 1090-1 standard, which specifies the requirements for conformity assessment  with reference to the characteristics of the product and the structural characteristics of the project, thus allowing the company to affix the CE marking on its metal component, necessary for the product to be delivered to the Customer.

​

The standard is also extended to steel components used in structures composed of steel and concrete and is applied to structural components both mass-produced and not, and finally also to steel kits.

​

The conformity assessment  of structural characteristics is basically based on a structural design and characteristics of the structural component.

The manufacturer must obtain the FPC, i.e. the Factory Production Control Certificate validated by a Notified Body.

​

The Declaration of Performance must be issued to the customer for each order.
