ISO 3834 and EN 1090 Certifications for EURCODE 3

[spray_arc]

Hello all,

I am curious do companies need to have both ISO 3834 and EN 1090 Certifications from 3rd party to work to EUROCODE 3?
Or can companies just have ISO 3834 and be ok to do work to EUROCODE 3 or can they have juts EN 1090 Certifications and do work for EUROCODE 3?
Will this meet the machine directive requirements?

EN 1090 suffices (is actually obligatory) for steel work acc. to the eurocodes.
That's basically an 3834 certification with some additional bells and whistles (like work preparation, bolting, corrosion protection in addition to it).

This has nothing (I repeat: NOTHING) to do with the machinery directive.

Hi thank you for the insight! For a company to meet machine directive requirements, what does this mean?

It means even without 3834/1090 cert, they can make machines and affix the CE marking.
MD is an autocertification system (no external control organism needed).
