Certification
EN 1090-1

Transform steel and aluminum artifacts

The EN 1090 is destined to change the certification structure for all manufacturers of steel and aluminum products. Today it is already possible to place CE marked products on the market only after having characterized them by carrying out initial type tests (ITT) and after introducing and maintaining a factory production control (FPC).

For the recognition of these activities and therefore of the possibility of marking the verification of a Notified Body (ON) that operates and certifies according to the new CPR (Regulation 305/2011 in force since 1 July 2013) which replaces the CPD 89/106 / EC.

for metal carpentry workshops that work / transform steel for structural use, the CE marking according to UNI EN 1090-1in fact, it replaces the certification process of "Transformation Center" at the Central Technical Service.

More detailed considerations regarding the operation of the Transformation Centers and the role of the Technical Director are deferred to dates closer to the entry into force of UNI EN 1090.
