BS EN 1090 Certification for Structural Steel
UKCA, UKNI and CE Marking Support
If you manufacture structural steel or aluminum components, BS EN 1090 certification isn’t optional - it’s a legal requirement.
Whether you’re supplying products in Great Britain, Northern Ireland or exporting to the EU, you must ensure your products meet the correct marking requirements. This may involve UKCA, UKNI or CE marking, and in some cases, additional certification arrangements.
As a UK-based Approved Body, ISOQAR supports manufacturers in meeting these requirements with confidence. We can also facilitate CE marking through our European Notified Body partner, helping you access both UK and EU markets with clarity and ease.

What is BS EN 1090?
BS EN 1090 is the standard that governs the manufacture and conformity assessment of structural steel and aluminium components.
If you place structural components on the market, you are required to:
- Demonstrate compliance with BS EN 1090
- Implement an effective Factory Production Control (FPC) system
- Apply the correct product marking (UKCA, UKNI or CE, depending on your market)
Certification ensures your products meet recognised standards and regulatory requirements, giving confidence to customers, contractors and stakeholders.
Why it matters
Placing structural steelwork on the market without the appropriate certification and marking is a breach of legislation.
Failure to comply can result in:
- Product recalls
- Financial penalties
- Legal enforcement action
BS EN 1090 certification supports both compliance and quality, helping ensure your products are safe, consistent and fit for purpose.
Access the markets you need
The requirements for marking vary depending on where you sell your products:
- Great Britain → UKCA marking
- Northern Ireland → UKNI / CE marking
- European Union → CE marking
ISOQAR can support certification for UK markets directly and work with our European partner to enable CE marking for EU access – helping you navigate post-Brexit requirements with confidence.
