UKCA Certification demonstrates compliance with the appropriate standard for a product. From 1st July 2014, new legal obligations were placed on manufacturers who fabricate structural steelwork.
BS EN 1090 is the harmonised standard which covers fabricated structural steelwork. Here at Shields, we have heavily invested in personnel and quality control systems to ensure we maintain our certification year on year.
Our Factory Production Control (FPC) system and Welding Procedure Specifications are audited and assessed annually by SCCS (Steel Construction Certification Scheme Ltd). SCCS is a Notified Body (number 2273) in terms of the Construction Products Regulation 305/2011/EU.
