EN 1090-1: what should a buyer check?

Standards and certification help ensure that the required quality is achieved through a controlled process. Always check the current certificate and its scope.

Always check the current scope of certification. The certificate’s title is not enough: its scope must cover the work you are buying. Compare the scope with your project requirements before placing an order.

What can a buyer check?

  • Which certificate is valid, and who issued it?
  • What is the exact scope of the certificate?
  • How are fabrication and welding documented for the project?
  • What information or documents will the buyer receive at handover?

Why does the process matter?

Welding requires ongoing monitoring and adherence to documented procedures. Inspections support quality control throughout the work.
