EN 1090 — execution of steel structures (EXC1–4)
What is it?
The European rule for fabricating and erecting steel structures, with execution classes EXC1 (simple) to EXC4 (bridges, stadiums). It governs CE marking of steel components and the required workshop discipline.
What evidence should a candidate have?
Employer references naming EXC class, welding coordination documents, or work in an EN 1090-certified workshop.
Why it matters for staffing
EXC3/4 experience separates elite fabricators from basic workshops — it defines which projects a candidate can be sent to.
