What is this standard about?
BS EN 1090 specifies technical requirements for the manufacture and installation of cold-formed structural aluminium components and structures made from profiled sheeting. It covers roof, ceiling, floor and wall applications under predominately static or seismic loading conditions.
Who is this standard for?
- Architects, engineers, surveyors and all involved with the design process
- Building contractors
- Those involved with marine and transportation vehicles
Why should you use this standard?
This standard gives the aluminium component supply industry a user-friendly specification on the application of cold-formed structural aluminium components. It covers:
- Products of structural class I and II according to BS EN 1999-1-4
- Profiled as well as perforated and micro-profiled sheeting
- Spacer constructions between the outer and inner or upper and lower skins
- Supporting members for roofs, walls and ceilings made from cold-formed profiled sheeting
- The connections and attachments of the roofs, walls and ceilings as long as they are involved in load transfer
- Documentation of structures
NOTE: A combination of steel and aluminium structural elements are permitted, e.g. steel liner trays stiffened by profiles made of aluminium. In this case, BS EN 1090-4 and this document apply.
