If your company is producing products for metal construction, then your are concerned.
You've probably heard about the EN 1090 standard, which is mandatory since July the 1st. The EC-marking is now obligatory to bring any product, for metal construction to market, like a metal structure or some parts of a stairs, for example.The aim of this norm is to facilitate and standardize the European market of products for metal construction.
To be allowed to append the EC-marking on a product, a specific quality system must be organized in your company and be audited to get the 'EN 1090 certification".
To learn more about the EN 1090 standard and its implication for your company, we invite you to attend the information session organized by CEWAC asbl, the Walloon research center in the field of welding and associated controls.
CEWAC can help you to set up a quality system leading to the EN 1090 certification.
