CE Marking for Structural Steel and Aluminium Products
EN 1090-1 is one of the core standards for conformity assessment and CE marking when structural steel and aluminium components are placed on the European Union market. Where such products fall within the scope of the relevant harmonized technical specification, the manufacturer must declare product performance and fulfil the CE marking requirements.

Why EN 1090-1 Certification?
The system established under EN 1090-1 aims to ensure that production is carried out in a controlled and traceable manner that consistently delivers the declared performance.
Certification Scope
- Steel structural components
- Aluminium structural components
- Prefabricated building systems
- Load-bearing constructions
- Industrial steel structures
- Bridge and building steelwork
FPC certification for structural metal products within the scope of EN 1090-1 is an important part of the relevant conformity assessment system; NANDO records indicate AVCP System 2+ and the FPC Certification Body role for this product family.
EN 1090-1 CE Certification Process
- Application and technical document review
- Factory Production Control (FPC) audit
- Evaluation of welding processes
- Review of personnel qualifications
- Initial type assessment
- Certification decision
- Annual surveillance audits
Alongside related technical standards such as EN 1090-2 (steel structures) and EN 1090-3 (aluminium structures), the EN ISO 3834 requirements for the manufacturer's welding activities are also assessed according to the product and production scope.
CE Marking and Declaration of Performance
For construction products, CE marking indicates conformity in relation to the declared performance and the applicable harmonized technical specification. Where required, the manufacturer draws up a Declaration of Performance (DoP) and places the product on the market.
