steel standards
The United Kingdom works to the BS EN suite: Eurocode 3 for design, BS EN 1090 for the execution of steel structures and BS EN 10025 for hot rolled structural steel. Construction products placed on the market carry UKCA or CE marking depending on jurisdiction and date, and fabricators hold a factory production control certificate matched to the execution class of the work.
