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 conformity assessment of components for suspended ceilings, rails or sleepers for use in railway systems.
NOTE   For certain steel and aluminium components, particular specifications for performance and other requirements have been developed. The particular specifications may be issued as an EN or as Clauses within an EN. An example is given in EN 13084-7 for single wall steel chimneys and steel liners. Such particular specifications will take precedence in case of non-compliance with the requirements of this European Standard.

NOTE The standards referred to in EN 1090-3 give information about the strength properties of the aluminium alloys. 4.2 Tolerances on dimensions and shape The geometrical tolerances specified in EN 1090-2 and EN 1090-3 for the essential tolerances shall apply to all components. If any special tolerances apply these shall be stated in the component specification. NOTE According to EN 1090-2 and EN 1090-3 the requirements for functional tolerances apply to all components. 4.3 Weldability If steel and aluminium structural components are to be declared as weldable they shall be made of weldable constituent products according to EN 1090-2 or EN 1999-1-1 as appropriate. If relevant to the performance of a steel product the through-thickness properties shall be declared. SIST EN 1090-1:2009

Fracture toughness is not tested or specified for aluminium materials. NOTE 2 The material properties for aluminium alloys improve for decreasing temperatures. 4.5 Structural characteristics 4.5.1 General Structural characteristics of a component covered in this European Standard refer to its load bearing capacity, fatigue strength and resistance to fire. NOTE Structural characteristics can also include characteristics that are related to the Serviceability Limit State which covers functional requirements related to the use of the component. These characteristics are not included as requirements in this European Standard but can be specified in the design brief for the component. The required structural characteristics shall be achieved by:  an adequate structural design, if and as required for the component, and  manufacturing the component according to the component specification developed in accordance with
EN 1090-2 or EN 1090-3. 4.5.2 Load bearing capacity Declaration of the load bearing capacity may refer to the resistance of the cross sections of the component, expressed as a characteristic value or as a design value. Alternatively the load bearing capacity may be expressed in terms of the loads the component can carry according to the applied design provisions, expressed as a characteristic value or as a design value. 4.5.3 Fatigue strength Declaration of the fatigue strength of a structural component shall be specific to fatigue actions against which the fatigue strength has been assessed. Fatigue strength in this standard refers to situations for which the loads are such that the influence of repetitive loads needs to be considered to assess the structural characteristics of the component. NOTE 1 Requirements for fatigue strength are needed for certain component applications where the specific requirements should be given in the design brief in terms of stress range(s), number of cycles, etc, and where the requirements are formulated according to the provisions in the relevant Eurocode. NOTE 2 Fatigue strengths are related to cross sectional resistance or resistance of a given structural detail and are usually expressed by reference to S-N diagrams.The conceptual strategy for determination of fatigue strength should be based on the approaches given in the relevant Eurocode. Information on the strategy should be given in the design brief. 4.5.4 Resistance to fire Declaration of the fire resistance of a structural member may refer to the fire exposure represented by the standard temperature-time relationship to be used for assessment of the performance characteristics R, E, I and M in the classification according to EN 13501-2. SIST EN 1090-1:2009

EN 13501-1. 4.7 Dangerous substances Dangerous substances in this standard refer to the material properties with regard to emission of radioactivity or release of cadmium. Only constituent products shall be used for which any emission of radioactivity and any release of cadmium is non-existent or limited to be within an accepted limit in the territory of intended destination. Materials used in coatings shall not release or emit any dangerous substances in excess of the maximum permitted levels specified in a relevant European Standard for the material, or permitted in national provisions of the member state of destination. 4.8 Impact resistance Impact resistance is a material characteristic which expresses the same properties of steel as fracture toughness. There are no additional requirements.
4.9 Durability The component specification shall specify any requirements for corrosion protection. See EN 1090-2 for carbon steel, EN 1993-1-4 for stainless steel and EN 1999-1-1 for aluminium. NOTE 1 The durability of components is dependent on their use and the exposure they are subject to and any protection applied. NOTE 2 The performance characteristics of structural components manufactured from steel or aluminium adequately designed and manufactured are not subject to degradation except where corrosion is allowed to occur. Corrosion can be prevented by the use of protection systems. The service life of a component is preserved by adequate maintenance of the component. NOTE 3 For components made from weather-resistant steels to EN 10025-5 or stainless steels to
EN 10088 a service life of the component can be estimated. EN 1993-1-4 gives guidance related to durability of stainless steel. NOTE 4 EN 1999-1-1 gives guidance related to durability of aluminium alloys. For aluminium components under normal exposure conditions corrosion protection is normally not required. NOTE 5 EN 1090-2 and EN 1090-3 give guidance for application of a corrosion protection system and give requirements for surface preparation of the steel and aluminium respectively as a pre-treatment prior to any subsequent application of a protection system, depending on the exposure conditions. SIST EN 1090-1:2009

ISO 7976-1 and ISO 7976-2 and in accordance with provisions given in EN 1090-2 and EN 1090-3. Accuracy of measurements shall be assessed in accordance with ISO 17123-1. 5.4 Weldability For weldability, reliance may be placed on properties associated with constituent materials and components provided these are given by reference to a European Technical Specification and inspection documents. NOTE 1 EN 1090-2 gives information on weldability of steel materials. NOTE 2 EN 1999-1-1 and EN 1011-4 give information on weldability of aluminium materials. If through-thickness properties are specified for steel products, they shall be assessed according to the quality classes given in EN 10164. 5.5 Fracture toughness For fracture toughness of the constituent products, reliance may be placed on properties for impact strength associated with materials and components used as constituent products provided these are given by reference to a European Technical Specification and inspection documents. If data for the constituent products are not available, fracture toughness may be assessed using Charpy impact tests carried out in accordance with EN 10045-1. For steel components provisions for evaluation of the test results are given in EN 1993-1-10. Testing the fracture toughness of aluminium constituent products is not required. 5.6 Structural characteristics 5.6.1 General Assessment of structural characteristics shall be based on: a) the structural design, and b) the manufacturing characteristics of the component. SIST EN 1090-1:2009

Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance (all relevant parts); f) EN 1999, Eurocode 9: Design of aluminium structures (all relevant parts). To determine the structural characteristics of a component, provisions given in the National Annexes to the Eurocodes for the country where the component shall be used apply. 5.6.2.2 Structural testing Structural testing shall be based on European Standards, and be accompanied by structural calculations. NOTE 1 There is presently no general European Standard available for structural testing.
NOTE 2 For components where declaration of conformity is made according to method 3b, see Annex A, national provisions for structural testing can be relevant. NOTE 3 Testing procedures for cold formed members and sheeting are given in Annex A of EN 1993-1-3:2006 and
EN 1999-1-4. NOTE 4 Provisions for evaluation of the results from structural testing are given in Annex D of EN 1990:2002. 5.6.3 Manufacturing characteristics The manufacturing characteristics shall be assessed in relation to the requirements in the component specification. The manufacturing of components shall be inspected and evaluated in accordance with the requirements for inspection to the specified execution class and tolerance requirements in compliance with the provisions in
EN 1090-2 for steel structures or EN 1090-3 for aluminium structures. 5.7 Resistance to fire The component specification shall specify all necessary information on the evaluation methods to be used; either they are performed by calculation or by testing. SIST EN 1090-1:2009

EN 1994-1-2, and a fire exposure according to the standard temperature-time relationship referred to in
EN 13501-2. Alternatively, if the evaluation of fire resistance or integrity is based on calculation according to another specified fire exposure than the standard temperature-time relationship, the characteristic should not be designated R or I as these are designations for class of resistance according to EN 13501-2. Performance characteristics E and M: These performance characteristics may only be evaluated based on testing in accordance with the classification standard EN 13501-2. 5.8 Reaction to fire Constituent products of steel and aluminium fall within Class A1 of the European classification with respect to reaction to fire, and no further documentation is required. Galvanized steels and anodized aluminium components are also Class A1. In the case of coated components it shall be demonstrated that the component has a fire classification that complies with the requirements according to its use and function. Classification shall be performed in accordance with EN 13501-1. NOTE Reaction to fire of coatings applied to steel or aluminium components for durability or other purposes can be other than Class A1. Information on reaction to fire of organically coated steel sheets is given in EN 14782 and EN 14783. 5.9 Dangerous substances The requirement in 4.7 is fulfilled if the constituent products comply with the European Standards referenced in EN 1090-2 for steel or EN 1090-3 for aluminium. No further testing is required unless protective coatings are used for which a possible emission cannot be assessed indirectly by control of the raw coating material. 5.10 Impact resistance Impact resistance of steel products is assessed by evaluation of the fracture toughness of the product.
5.11 Durability There is no direct method for testing durability. Durability is indirectly evaluated by checking the exposure of the component and by evaluating any requirements for surface protection given in the component specification. 6 Evaluation of conformity 6.1 General The conformity of a component or kit with the requirements of this European Standard and with the stated values (including classes) shall be demonstrated by: a) initial type testing, see 6.2; and b) factory production control by the manufacturer, including inspection and testing of products sampled from production in accordance with a prescribed plan by the manufacturer, see 6.3. SIST EN 1090-1:2009

A family of welded aluminium components may be characterized by the material group and the welding process applied whereby 7xxx alloys cover all other alloys, 6xxx alloys cover 5xxx alloys and 3xxx alloys, 5xxx alloys and 3xxx alloys may be regarded as one group. Non-welded components in the same execution class may be treated as a family. 6.2 Initial type testing 6.2.1 General Initial type testing is the complete set of tests or other procedures, determining the performance of samples of products representative of the product type. The intention is to demonstrate and assess that the manufacturer has the capabilities to provide structural components and kits according to this European Standard.
