From 1st July 2014 all fabricated structural steelwork must meet the harmonised European standard BS EN 1090 and carry the CE mark. Metal Fabrications Ltd has maintained its investment in both personnel and quality control systems to ensure that it achieves certification, which is determined by an independent assessment. The accreditation also ensures that Metal Fabrication Co. (Cardiff) Ltd continues to maintain its membership of the British Standards Institute (BSI).

In 2013 the new Construction Products Regulations were released, making CE marking mandatory and requiring fabricators to demonstrate that their internal training, qualifications and quality control procedures met the necessary standards.

The new legislation means that for fabricated steelwork, all components are required to be fully traceable to their source. Structural steel manufacturers must show that every component produced meets all declared performance characteristics of the CE marking legislation.

All fabricated structural steelwork delivered to a site in the UK must now be CE marked, and as CE approved fabricators, Metal Fabrication Co. (Cardiff) Ltd are meeting this requirement.

Clients & contractors alike should now have full confidence that any steel structures erected will meet up to the required CE approved standards of mechanical resistance, stability, serviceability and durability. By using a CE accredited fabricator like Metal Fabrication Co. (Cardiff) Ltd, you can trust that all structural steel fabrications will be to the highest quality

Metal Fabrication Co. (Cardiff) Ltd has been accredited to EXC2, which has a more arduous approvals standard but allows it to fabricate the vast majority of steel structures. The certification provides evidence of a suitable Factory Production Control (FPC), which ensures traceability of every component from source through the fabrication process and to final delivery to site
