Structural steel standards & certification

Challenges in steel production compliance 

Structural steel plays a critical role in infrastructure, building, energy, and industrial projects. To ensure durability, safety, and performance, manufacturers and fabricators must comply with harmonized European standards and regulatory requirements. 

Standards such as EN 1090-1, EN 10025, EN 10088, EN 10210, and EN 15088 provide the foundation for conformity assessment, CE marking, and structural integrity. Compliance is not only mandatory for market access in the EU and EEA, but also builds trust with customers, contractors, and regulators.
