SN EN 1090-1+A1:2011 Standard Compliance Explained
SN EN 1090-1+A1:2011 defines the requirements for the conformity assessment of structural components made of steel and aluminum, published by CEN (European Committee for Standardization). It applies primarily to construction products within the civil engineering and construction industries.
=== SECTION 1 ===
Purpose and objectives
The SN EN 1090-1+A1:2011 standard aims to ensure that structural components made from steel and aluminum meet essential safety and performance criteria. By establishing clear guidelines for manufacturing and conformity assessment, the standard seeks to enhance the reliability and quality of construction products. This includes addressing critical aspects such as load-bearing characteristics, durability, fire resistance, and the presence of hazardous substances, thereby promoting safety in construction practices.
=== SECTION 2 ===
Scope: who must comply
The SN EN 1090-1+A1:2011 standard is applicable to manufacturers and suppliers of structural components in construction, particularly those involved in the production and assembly of steel and aluminum structures. This encompasses a wide range of industries, including construction companies, fabricators, and contractors. Compliance is essential for organizations aiming to market their products within the European Union, as it guarantees that the products meet the necessary safety and performance standards set forth in the construction materials and buildings context.
=== SECTION 3 ===
How SN EN 1090-1+A1:2011 relates to other standards
The SN EN 1090-1+A1:2011 standard is part of a broader framework of standards related to construction products. Key related standards include:
- EN 1090-2: This standard complements SN EN 1090-1+A1:2011 by addressing specific technical requirements for the execution of steel structures.
- EN 1090-3: Focuses on aluminum structures, ensuring that they meet similar performance criteria.
- SIA 263.051+A1: This standard provides additional guidelines specific to Switzerland, aligning with the broader European standards for construction.
=== SECTION 4 ===
Revision history and current status
The SN EN 1090-1+A1:2011 standard was published by CEN/TC 135 in 2011 and was revised in 2014 to incorporate updates and clarifications based on industry feedback. The most recent revision includes enhancements in conformity assessment procedures and clarifications regarding the evaluation of manufacturing processes. It aims to ensure a better understanding of certification requirements for manufacturers seeking compliance with this essential standard.

Execution of steel structures and aluminium structures - Part 1: Requirements for conformity assessment of structural components
This European Standard specifies requirements for conformity assessment of performance characteristics for structural steel and aluminium components as well as for kits placed on the market as construction products. The conformity assessment covers the manufacturing characteristics, and where appropriate the structural design characteristics. This European Standard covers also the conformity assessment of steel components used in composite steel and concrete structures. The components can be used directly or in construction works or as structural components in the form of kits. This European Standard applies to series and non-series structural components including kits. The components can be made of hot rolled or cold formed constituent products or constituent products produced with other technologies. They may be produced of sections/profiles with various shapes, flat products (plates, sheet, strip), bars, castings, forgings made of steel and aluminium materials, unprotected or protected against corrosion by coating or other surface treatment, e.g. anodising of aluminium. This European Standard covers structural cold formed members and sheeting as defined in EN 1993-1-3 and EN 1999-1-4. This European Standard does not cover confo
