EN 1090 CERTIFICATION
THE FAST PATH TO EN 1090 CERTIFICATION
In conjuction with ESAB and its industry-leading expertise, we can help fabricators comply with the requirements of EN 1090, the new European quality standard for all steel and aluminum structures built as of July 1, 2014.
ESAB's tested and approved Welding Procedure Qualification Records (WPQR) for MIG/MAG and MMA welding eliminate the effort of costly and time-consuming qualification of welding procedures required by EN 1090 for CE certification.
WE MAKE IT EASY.
Creating, verifying and approving new procedures and checking, adapting and approving existing ones is a time-consuming job that requires expert skills. ESAB has developed welding procedure tests under the oversight of a qualification body and has obtained the necessary WPQR certificates. Fabricators can use these tested and certified WPQR certificates to produce Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) for their structural steel work. Depending on the number of qualifications required, savings could be in the tens of thousands of Euros.
