CE Marking Standards for Steel Products

Steel components used in structures require CE Marking to demonstrate compliance with relevant European standards, but CE Marking is only allowed if the factory production control system has been approved by a certification body. The main harmonized standards for steel structures cover steel sections, hollow sections, bolts, and fabricated steel. CE Marking of structural steelwork to standard EN 1090-1 became mandatory in early 2012 across most European countries.

Because steel components are "safety critical", CE Marking is not allowed unless the Factory

Production Control (FPC) system under which they are produced has been assessed by a suitable
certification body that has been approved to the European Commission. [4]
In the case of steel products such as sections, bolts and fabricated steelwork the CE Marking
demonstrates that the product complies with the relevant harmonized standard. [5]
For steel structures the main harmonized standards are:

 Steel sections and plate - EN 10025-1


 Hollow sections - EN 10219-1 and EN 10210-1
 Pre-loadable bolts - EN 14399-1
 Non-preloadable bolts - EN 15048-1
 Fabricated steel - EN 1090 -1
The standard that covers CE Marking of structural steelwork is EN 1090-1. The standard has come
into force in late 2010. After a transition period of two years, CE Marking will become mandatory in
most European Countries sometime early in 2012.[6] The official end date of the transition period is
July 1, 2014.
