EN 1993-1-1 Steel Design and Testing
The European standard EN 1993-1-1 provides a comprehensive framework for the design of steel structures, focusing on the Eurocode approach. This standard is crucial for ensuring structural integrity in construction projects involving steel components. Our laboratory specializes in providing robust testing services that adhere strictly to this standard.
EN 1993-1-1 covers various aspects including material properties, design rules, and methods of calculation. It ensures that the structural engineer has a clear understanding of how different materials behave under specific loading conditions. This standard is widely recognized across Europe and beyond, making it an essential tool for any construction project involving steel.
Our laboratory’s expertise in EN 1993-1-1 allows us to offer precise and accurate testing services tailored specifically to the requirements of this standard. Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with sophisticated equipment capable of performing a wide range of tests, from simple tensile strength measurements to complex multi-axis loadings.
For our clients, we provide detailed reports that not only meet but exceed the expectations set by EN 1993-1-1. These reports include comprehensive data analysis, including graphical representations of test results and interpretation based on international standards. Our goal is to ensure complete transparency throughout every aspect of the testing process.
Our team comprises highly qualified professionals who are well-versed in both theoretical knowledge and practical application of EN 1993-1-1 principles. They work closely with our clients to understand their unique needs and challenges, ensuring that each test conducted is relevant and beneficial for the project at hand.

Applied Standards
In addition to EN 1993-1-1, several other internationally recognized standards play a significant role in the field of structural steel design. These include:
- American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A572 Grade 60
- British Standard Institution (BS) EN 1993-1-8
- Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
These standards complement each other, providing a robust framework for designing safe and efficient steel structures. We ensure that all our tests are conducted in accordance with these internationally recognized guidelines.
International Acceptance and Recognition
The European standard EN 1993-1-1 is widely accepted across various countries within the European Union. Its recognition extends beyond Europe; many countries outside the EU also incorporate its principles into their own regulations.
This broad acceptance makes it a valuable tool for global construction projects that involve steel structures. By adhering to this standard, we ensure our clients receive internationally recognized results which can enhance credibility and facilitate smoother international collaborations.
