BS EN 1090-3:2019

Comprehensive Structural Steel Fabrication Standard

BS EN 1090-3:2019 is the essential British Standard for the execution of steel structures and aluminium structures. This standard provides detailed technical specifications and requirements to ensure the quality, safety, and compliance of structural steel fabrication projects.

Ensure Quality and Safety in Structural Steel Fabrication

- Comprehensive guidelines for the execution of steel and aluminium structures- Covers all aspects of the fabrication process, from design to delivery- Specifies requirements for materials, welding, mechanical connections, and more- Ensures structural integrity, durability, and safety for end-users

Comply with Regulatory Requirements

- Aligns with the latest European and international standards for structural steel- Enables compliance with building regulations and construction industry best practices- Supports CE marking and other mandatory conformity assessments- Helps fabricators, contractors, and project managers demonstrate quality and safety

Detailed Technical Specifications

BS EN 1090-3:2019 covers a wide range of technical requirements for structural steel fabrication, including:- Material selection and traceability- Welding procedures and qualifications- Mechanical connections and fasteners- Corrosion protection and surface treatment- Dimensional tolerances and geometric accuracy- Inspection, testing, and quality control measuresThe standard also provides guidance on the execution of specific structural elements, such as columns, beams, trusses, and connections.

Benefits for Structural Steel Fabricators

By implementing the requirements of BS EN 1090-3:2019, structural steel fabricators can:- Demonstrate compliance with regulatory and industry standards- Improve the quality and consistency of their fabrication processes- Reduce the risk of defects, failures, and costly rework- Enhance the safety and performance of the final structures- Differentiate their services and compete more effectively in the market

Applicable Industries and Applications

BS EN 1090-3:2019 is applicable to a wide range of structural steel and aluminium construction projects, including:- Commercial and residential buildings- Industrial facilities and warehouses- Bridges, overpasses, and other infrastructure- Offshore platforms and marine structures- Towers, masts, and other specialized structuresRegardless of the project size or complexity, this British Standard provides the essential technical guidance and requirements to ensure the quality and safety of structural steel fabrication.
