This European Prestandard gives requirements for execution of steel structures in order to ensure adequate levels of mechanical resistance and stability. serviceability and durability.
This European Prestandard specifies requirements for execution of steer structures in particular those which are designed according to ENV 1993-1-1 and for the steel parts of composite structures designed according to ENV 1994-1-1.
This European Prestandard presupposes that the work is carried out with the necessary skill and adequate equipment and resources to perform the work in accordance with the requirements of the project specification and the requirements of this European Prestandard.
This European Prestandard specifies general requirements for execution of structural steelwork produced from hot rolled. hot finished. welded' and cold formed steel products. This European Prestandard does not cover cold formed thin gauge members and sheeting. The definition of steel products is given in EN 10079.
In addition. Part 1 gives detailed requirements for structures which are not significantly susceptible to fatigue. The definition of structures which are not significantly susceptible to fatigue is given in ENV 1993-1-1.
The standard also gives the method for specifying to match the requirements of the standard to project specific requirements.
The standard is also applicable to steel components in composite steel and concrete structures As defined in ENV 1994- 1-1.
The standard is also applicable to temporary steel structures .
