UNI EN 1090: prepare your company for the CE marking of structural components

Descoltech supports manufacturers and carpentry companies in the application of UNI EN 1090, organizing the Production Control in the Factory and the requirements necessary to demonstrate the conformity of structural components.

The course is part of our company certification services and includes field verification, FPC, technical documentation, production processes and preparation for verification by the notified body.

From production to compliance

UNI EN 1090 must be applied to the product and to the actual manufacturing process

Not all carpentry work automatically falls under UNI EN 1090. The first step is to check whether the components produced fall within the scope of application and what requirements must be met.

This is why we analyse the product, structural function, materials and business processes before intervening on procedures and documentation.

When technical customer requirements or industry standards are also involved, the path can be linked to compliance with international standards.

Verification of the scope

We analyse the manufactured components to verify which ones fall under UNI EN 1090 and which requirements are applicable. This avoids treating structural products, excluded processes or components covered by different specifications in the same way.

Factory Production Control

We support the company in the organization of Factory Production Control, defining responsibilities, controls, records and methods necessary to keep production under control and demonstrate the consistency of performance.

Fabrication, welding and documentation

We verify documentation, materials, procedures, qualifications and controls required by the production process. When necessary, the activity can be integrated with industrial technical services for welding, inspections, NDT and documentary verifications.

Preparation for the Notified Body Verification

Before verification, we analyse FPCs, procedures, registrations and evidence to identify any gaps that are still open. Descoltech prepares and supports the company, while the certification of the production control is carried out by the competent, notified party.

When you need UNI EN 1090

Which companies must verify the applicability of UNI EN 1090

The path mainly concerns manufacturers of structural steel and aluminium components intended to be incorporated into construction works and which fall within the scope of the standard.

It is particularly relevant to metal fabricators, workshops, structural manufacturers, and companies working for construction, infrastructure, plants, and industrial supply chains.

Descoltech operates in a variety  of industries, including engineering, energy, oil and gas, and other contexts where manufacturing, welding, and compliance must be coordinated.

Before and after production inspection

What changes when manufacturing is managed according to UNI EN 1090

What others do

Checks depend on workshop practices

Traceability may vary between orders

Procedures and qualifications are managed for individual needs

Verifications may depend on individuals

Compliance can be difficult to prove

The process is managed through a documented FPC

Materials and evidence are managed according to defined criteria

Requirements, qualifications and controls are coordinated

Roles and responsibilities are formalized

FPC and documentation support the CE marking path

Production that becomes traceable

UNI EN 1090 makes it possible to demonstrate how each component is manufactured

A structured FPC makes it possible to link materials, processes, welds, controls, responsibilities and evidence to actual production, reducing the risk that a critical issue emerges only at the end of the order.

Management becomes more traceable and allows the manufacturer to demonstrate in an organized way how the relevant characteristics of the manufactured components are kept under control.

When quality and business processes need to be managed more broadly, the path can be linked to ISO 9001 certification.

Doubts about UNI EN 1090

Frequently asked questions about UNI EN 1090 certification

UNI EN 1090 is a family of standards relating to the execution of steel and aluminium structures and components. Part 1 concerns the evaluation of the performance characteristics of structural components placed on the market as construction products.

No. ISO 9001 certification concerns the organization's Quality Management System, while UNI EN 1090 is linked to the conformity and manufacture of specific structural components.

Yes, but they have different purposes. UNI EN 1090 concerns compliance and manufacture of structural components, while ISO 45001 certification concerns occupational health and safety management.

The checks required depend on the component, the execution class and the processes used. When necessary, Descoltech can integrate the path with inspections and non-destructive testing.

There is no standard cost. A distinction must be made between consultancy, any technical adjustments and the cost of the notified body, considering products, processes, personnel, welds and the complexity of the FPC.
