Revision of standard EN 1090-22018 fabrication of steel structures and aluminum structures
This standard replaces EN 1090-2:2008 + A1:2011
The standard is part of the standards of the EN 1090 series which includes the following parts:
- EN 1090-1 Fabrication of steel structures and aluminum structures - Part 1: Assessment and verification of constancy of performance of structural members
- EN 1090-2 Fabrication of steel structures and aluminum structures - Part 2:
Technical requirements for steel structures
- EN 1090-3 Fabrication of steel structures and aluminum structures - Part 3:
Technical requirements for aluminum structures
- EN 1090-4 Fabrication of steel structures and aluminum structures - Part 4:
Technical requirements for cold-formed steel elements and structures used in roofs, ceilings, floors and walls
- EN 1090-5 Fabrication of steel structures and aluminum structures - Part 5:
Technical requirements for aluminum cold formed elements and structures used in roofs, ceilings, floors and walls
Here are the main changes in standard EN 1090-2:2018:
The technical requirements for steels and cold-formed structures used in roofs, ceilings, floors, walls and perimeter cladding have been removed from this part of EN 1019 as they are specified in EN 1090-4.
The technical requirements for steels and cold-formed structures used in roofs, ceilings, floors, walls and perimeter cladding have been removed from this part of EN 1019 as they are specified in EN 1090-4.
Informative Annex B of the Guidelines for the determination of design classes has been removed as the normative requirements for the selection of the design class are now included in EN 1993-1-1:2005 / A1:2014, Annex C.
A new informative Annex D has been included, which provides guidance on how to check the heat cutting process options.
A new informative Annex D has been added, which provides guidance for determining the loss of prestress due to coarse coatings at the contact surfaces of prestressed bolted joints.
Normative Annex J Use of compressed washers - type of direct voltage indicators has been removed.
A new informative Annex L has been included with guidelines for the selection of weld inspection classes.
The following annexes have been renumbered:
- Annex D becomes Annex B
- Annex K becomes Annex J
- Annex L becomes Annex K
Annexes A, C, E, FG, H and M have not been renumbered.
Some changes have been included in these annexes.
The main text refers to changes including updated cross-references to supporting standards, some corrections and changes to the annexes.
How to implement or introduce new requirements in practice?
We will present the recommended procedure for applying the change in practice in the following blog.
