Introduction
In construction and engineering, the reliability of structural steel materials is essential for ensuring safety, performance, and long-term durability. EN 10025-1 Certification confirms that hot-rolled structural steel products meet European standards for quality, traceability, and mechanical integrity, supporting safe and compliant structural applications.
What is EN 10025-1 Certification?
EN 10025-1 is part of the EN 10025 series of standards that define technical delivery conditions for hot-rolled structural steels. Part 1 outlines the general requirements, including material identification, documentation, inspection methods, and conformity criteria applicable across all steel grades in the EN 10025 family.
Certification ensures that steel manufacturers and suppliers comply with these requirements, enabling CE marking and allowing materials to be used legally in European construction markets.
EN 10025-1 supports and complements requirements found in other structural standards, including EN 1090 for CE marking.
