What you need to know about Structural Steel

What is BS EN 1090?

BS EN 1090 is a European standard that regulates the fabrication and assembly of structural steel. It ensures that any load-bearing metal structures meet strict safety, quality, and compliance requirements. Since July 2014, all structural steelwork in the UK must be UKCA marked under this standard to comply with the Construction Products Regulation (CPR).

To comply, fabricators must undergo third-party certification and implement a Factory Production Control (FPC) system, ensuring consistent quality in materials, welding, and manufacturing processes.

Why is BS EN 1090 Required?

✅ Legal Compliance – Any fabricator supplying structural components must be BS EN 1090 certified to legally trade in the UK and EU.
✅ Safety Assurance – Ensures structures meet strict safety standards, reducing the risk of failure.
✅ Quality & Reliability – Guarantees high-quality fabrication, improving durability and performance.
✅ Client Confidence – Builders, contractors, and engineers prefer working with certified fabricators to mitigate risk.

At Stratford Metal Fabrications, we are fully BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2 accredited, meaning we meet stringent compliance standards for structural steelwork.
