Why EN 1090 standard?
Implementation of the principles contained in the harmonized standard EN 1090-1 Execution of steel and aluminum structures :
- Part 1: Principles for conformity assessment of structural elements – allows the manufacturer to mark a steel or aluminum building structure the CE mark . This marking ensures the free movement of structures on the European market.
- Part 2: Technical requirements for steel structures and
- Part 3: Technical requirements for aluminum structures – deWho and why should implement the requirements of EN 1090 fine the requirements to be met by the manufacturer of building structures in order to be able to make such a marking.
Market requirements have increased the requirements for manufacturers of welded structures. Meeting the requirements of ISO 3834 and EN 1090 standards gives customers confirmation that the structures offered to them are manufactured under conditions supervised by competent and authorized personnel. Hence, their quality is appropriate.
It is worth mentioning here that the widespread use of the requirements of EN 1090 has made the DIN 18800 standard become less and less prestigious, and the number of implementations of DIN 18800 requirements has been constantly decreasing. To meet your expectations, we also offer assistance in the implementation of DIN 18800-7.
Who and why should implement the requirements of EN 1090?
Meeting the requirements of the EN 1090-1 standard The quality requirements for welding steel and aluminum structures are the basis for:
- implementation of Factory Production Control in the production of welded structures,
- implementation of the requirements of EN 3834. Execution of metal materials, enabling the CE marking of manufactured welded structures.
should be implemented by every manufacturer of welded structures who want to prove that his products meet the requirements set for them. In light of the approaching end of the transition period (01/07/2014) for the implementation of the EN 1090 standard – every manufacturer of welded construction products should implement.
Steps to implement EN 1090 with IKMJ:
Implementation of the quality system in welding in accordance with the requirements of EN 1090.
- Step 1: Free pre-audit, system scoping and implementation valuation
- Step 2: Development of system documentation (if the Quality Management System according to ISO 9001 and / or EN ISO 3834 has already been implemented – we suggest systems integration)
- Step 3: Training of key personnel in the requirements of EN ISO 3834 and EN1090
- Step 4: Advice and assistance in obtaining the necessary approvals of the welding technology
- Step 5: Advice and assistance in obtaining the required qualifications and competences of the personnel
- Step 6: Implementation of the requirements in accordance with the developed documentation
- Step 7: System performance audit
- Step 8: Corrective and preventive actions
- Step 9: EN 1090 Certification Guarantee
- Step 10 (optional): Systematic service of the implemented system
IKMJ staff will prepare all the necessary documents on their own and present them to you for approval.
You decide which implementation steps you want to use.
Benefits of the system SERVICE?
The system should be effective and bring the expected benefits, so already at the implementation stage, the organization must select people responsible for supervising its implementation, functioning and development. This person (or persons) should have the appropriate competences and appropriate positioning in the organization chart. Most often, these employees assume additional duties related to the implementation and supervision of the system’s functioning. In many cases, the duties assigned in this way exceed the agreed 8-hour working day. The time deficit of people responsible for system activities is the cause of many inconsistencies in its functioning.
Therefore, in order to meet the expectations, we offer assistance in supervising the proper functioning and improvement of the implemented system.
The scope of the service is tailored to individual needs.
As part of the service, we offer, among others:
- overseeing system documentation and changes in the functioning of the system
- staff training
- assistance in planning and conducting internal audits
- assistance in planning and implementing corrective and preventive actions
- support during audits of external parties (clients, certification bodies)
