In the context of a global construction industry that increasingly demands strict technical standards, obtaining international certifications is not only proof of manufacturing capability but also a “passport” for businesses to expand their markets and integrate deeper into global supply chains. World Steel Group is proud to announce that we have officially achieved the European EN 1090 certification – an important standard for steel structure products entering the European market.
This milestone affirms that World Steel Group’s steel structure products meet the highest technical requirements, while also demonstrating our strong commitment to product quality, safety, and sustainability.
1. The Importance of EN 1090 Certification
EN 1090 is a European standard applied to the production, fabrication, and erection of steel and aluminum structures. It is a mandatory standard under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) for companies wishing to supply structural products to the EU market.
The EN 1090 standard clearly specifies:
-
Technical requirements for steel structure products
-
A mandatory factory quality management system
-
Welding regulations, technical inspection, and material control
-
Traceability and manufacturing documentation
Achieving this certification proves that the company has the manufacturing capability and quality control systems that comply with European standards, ensuring product safety, durability, load-bearing capacity, and stability for large-scale construction projects.
2. World Steel Group – Efforts to Conquer International Standards
To achieve EN 1090 certification, World Steel Group underwent a strict evaluation process conducted by accredited European certification bodies. The certification process included:
– Inspection of the production quality management system
We established and operated a comprehensive quality management system covering material control, fabrication, erection, inspection, and product acceptance.
– FPC – Factory Production Control
FPC (Factory Production Control) is a core requirement of EN 1090. All activities affecting product quality are managed through documented procedures, with inspections and recorded evidence.
– Welding skill qualification and weld quality control
-
All welders at World Steel Group are certified under EN ISO 9606, the European competency standard for welders.
-
Welding procedures strictly follow EN ISO 3834 to ensure weld quality meets European standards.
– Full traceability system implementation
Every structural component is tracked with material codes, production records, and inspection logs, allowing customers to trace information at any time.
– Independent assessment by the certification body
European experts carried out:
-
Inspection of actual product quality
-
Evaluation of design, manufacturing, and inspection records
-
Assessment of personnel, machinery, and equipment
-
Review of production environment and operating processes
World Steel Group successfully met all EN 1090 requirements and was officially certified.
