Since 2014, load-bearing metal components have had to have DIN EN 1090 certification in order to be placed on the market. Be it sale or installation - DIN EN 1090 certification or CE marking is mandatory as proof of quality. DIN EN 1090, which is valid throughout Europe, specifies the requirements for proof of conformity for steel components, aluminum components and kits that are placed on the market as building products.
A product certification demonstrates compliance with the quality standard for products. The European DIN EN 1090 regulates the proof of conformity, the factory production control, the manufacturer certification and the CE marking for load-bearing components made of steel and aluminum that are placed on the market as construction products.
As welding engineers who are responsible for both welding supervision and welding testing, we support you in meeting the requirements of DIN EN 1090.
WPQ Service is already responsible for many customers as a certified welding supervisor. We can also support you in testing technology by professionally carrying out and documenting the non-destructive tests. See for yourself how we can actively help you with DIN 1090 certification.
Certification of your products according to the DIN EN 1090 standard offers you the following advantages:
Certification according to DIN EN 1090 can be carried out separately or in connection with DIN EN ISO 3834 and ISO 9001.
WPQ offers the third-party monitoring of the major proof of suitability according to DIN EN ISO 3834 for steel construction, pressure vessel construction, crane and hoist construction as well as pipeline construction.
As part of our range of services, we provide you with a welding coordinator and the external monitoring of the suitability certificate according to DIN EN 1090 (Parts 1-3).
For the DIN 1090, a comprehensive quality assurance is initially required. Part of this is the certification of the factory production control (FPC) from written procedural instructions as well as regular controls and tests. The entire WPK system must be set up, documented and maintained.
Regular tests are essential for the certification of the products according to DIN EN 1090. For every project, this includes an initial test of the statics and the project requirements. In addition, the welding work may only be carried out by certified welders and welding supervisors.
The tests of the finished workpiece by visual inspection of the weld seams and other non-destructive tests (NDT) are particularly important.
Even if all points of quality assurance and tests are carried out, they mean nothing without the documentation required for DIN 1090 certification. The tests are recorded and documented and all quality assurance procedures must also be documented in a traceable manner.
