Your Responsibility
It is now a criminal offence to supply structural metal work unless it conforms to the BS EN 1090-1:2009 +A1:2011 standard.
What you need?
If your company is involved in the manufacture of steel or aluminum products used in the construction industry, it is likely you will need a Quality Management System (QMS) to control the manufacturing process.
This process should start when you receive your initial enquiry and will end when you reach the final stage of issuing a 'Declaration of Performance' (CE Marking) to your Client for your product.
This process will need to be validated and certified by a third-party Notifying Body to confirm it fulfills the requirements of BS EN ISO 9001 and BS EN 1090-2.
How we will support you?
We will guide you through the process to comply with the Product Construction Regulation (PCR) by gaining BS 1090 accreditation
This involves:-
- Evaluating your manufacturing process to agree whether or not your product falls under the requirements of BS1090
- Create a plan that sets out the steps and completion date/s for undertaking this work
- Develop a Quality Management System (QMS) which includes; writing processes, procedures, checklist, and other documents
- Train your staff so they have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities within your QMS manufacturing process.
- Give suitable training to the role of 'Responsible Welding Coordinator' as required by the standard
- Arrange and support the audit and validation of your QMS system with an approved third-party Notifying Body
