European foreword
This document (prEN 1991-1-9:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 250
“Structural Eurocodes”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
CEN/TC 250 is responsible for all Structural Eurocodes and has been assigned responsibility for
structural and geotechnical design matters by CEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document is a new part of EN 1991-1.
The first generation of EN Eurocodes was published between 2002 and 2007. This document forms part
of the second generation of the Eurocodes, which have been prepared under Mandate M/515 issued to
CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
The Eurocodes have been drafted to be used in conjunction with relevant execution, material, product,
and test standards, and to identify requirements for execution, materials, products and testing that are
relied upon by the Eurocodes.
The Eurocodes recognize the responsibility of each Member State and have safeguarded their right to
determine values related to regulatory safety matters at national level through the use of National
Annexes.

Introduction
0.1 Introduction to the Eurocodes
The structural Eurocodes comprise the following standards generally consisting of a number of Parts:
— EN 1990, Eurocode: Basis of structural and geotechnical design
— EN 1991, Eurocode 1: Actions on structures
— EN 1992, Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures
— EN 1993, Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures
— EN 1994, Eurocode 4: Design of composite steel and concrete structure
— EN 1995, Eurocode 5: Design of timber structures
— EN 1996, Eurocode 6: Design of masonry structures
— EN 1997, Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design
— EN 1998, Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance
— EN 1999, Eurocode 9: Design of aluminium structures
— < New parts >
The Eurocodes are intended for use by designers, clients, manufacturers, constructors, relevant
authorities (in exercising their duties in accordance with national or international regulations),
educators, software developers, and committees drafting standards for related product, testing and
execution standards.
NOTE Some aspects of design are most appropriately specified by relevant authorities or, where not
specified, can be agreed on a project-specific basis between relevant parties such as designers and clients. The
Eurocodes identify such aspects making explicit reference to relevant authorities and relevant parties.
0.2 Introduction to EN 1991
(1) EN 1991 provides the actions to be considered for the structural design of buildings, bridges and
other civil engineering works, or parts thereof, including temporary structures, in conjunction with
EN 1990 and the other Eurocodes.
(2) The actions on structures, including in some cases geotechnical structures in conjunction with
EN 1997 as appropriate, provided in EN 1991 are intended to be applied in conjunction with the other
Eurocodes for the verification of safety, serviceability and durability, as well as robustness of structures,
including the execution phase.
(3) The application of this document for the verifications mentioned in (2) follows the limit state
principle and is based on the partial factor method, unless explicitly prescribed differently.
(4) EN 1991 does not cover actions for structures in seismic regions, unless explicitly prescribed by
EN 1998. Provisions related to such requirements are given in EN 1998, which complements and is
consistent with EN 1991.

(5) EN 1991 is also applicable in the case of existing structures for their:
— structural assessment,
— design of repairs, improvements and alterations,
— assessment for changes of use.
NOTE In this case additional or amended provisions can be necessary.
(6) EN 1991 is also applicable to the design of structures where materials or actions outside the scope
of the other Eurocodes are involved.
NOTE In this case additional or amended provisions can be necessary.
0.3 Introduction to EN 1991-1-9
EN 1991-1-9 gives design guidance for actions due to atmospheric icing on structures and civil
engineering works.
EN 1991-1-9 is intended to be used with EN 1990, the other Parts of EN
