TÜV SÜD: EN 1090 will become binding on introduction of the Eurocodes

A new three-part standard for load-bearing steel and aluminium parts of works will come into effect throughout Europe in the shape of the EN 1090 standard. Even though the standard provides for a transition period up to mid-2014, the legal situation in Germany will change when the "Eurocodes" replace the national building code as the basis of structural analysis with effect from July 2012. TÜV SÜD recommends manufacturers to apply the standard as soon as possible to ensure legal compliance. A key requirement of the harmonized EN 1090-1 standard is the assessment and certification of factory production control.

What are the duties of the test house in respect to RMF?

Checking projects for compliance with EN 60601-1:2006 (incl. applicable collateral and particular standards) requires a 100% verification of all applicable clauses of that standard. This includes all those clauses which refer to RM.

If the manufacturer deviates from any of the verifiable requirements of the standard, he must demonstrate equivalent safety (see clause 4.5), usually the outcome of the risk management process, to be verified by the test house.

For new hazards, e.g. associated with innovative technology, the manufacturer has the duty to include them in his risk management process and also has to work with the test house for proper verification. Clause 4.5 is not applicable for such hazards.
