"REASON FOR THE PROJECT:The risk of failing to implement the requirements of the European Regulations (Regulation (eu) nº 305/2011of the European Parliament and of the Cuncil), is mandatory from the 1st of July 2014 onwards, is very high since SMEs in the metal construction sector will deal with changes in their working procedures. This is foreseen to lead to an increase of costs for SMEs and consequently to an increasing number of internal difficulties to SMEs conforming to EN 1090. These requirements mean additional efforts on all companies involved in construction and building of metal structures.The present project intends to help minimise this situation by developing a harmonized training course adjusted to market (employment) requirements.AIMS & OBJECTIVES: The project aims at avoiding unfulfillment of mandatory EN standards by European metal working companies. For that it has been developed an harmonized curriculum for personnel involved in the implementation of the EN 1090 in industry, focusing not only in large enterprises but also in SMEs in different European countries. Also, a set of educational materials for the training of personnel involved in EN 1090 implementation have been definited and developed.CONSORTIUM: The consortium is constituted by the welding institutes of these countries, which have strong knowledge and expertise in training and qualification at a sector-based level. All partners also have plenty of experience in the implementation and training of EN standards. OUTCOMES: The objectives have been achieved through the definition of a harmonized curriculum for the training of personnel involved in the fabrication and assembly of metal structures based on the set of standards EN 1090 (""EN 1090-1: Requirements for conformity assessment for structural components"", ""EN 1090-2: Technical requirements for the execution of steel structures"" and ""EN 1090-3: Technical requirements for the execution of aluminium structures"").IMPACT: EN 1090 has been created mandatory demands for all that is related with building metalic structures, including personnel qualification and certification. This will have impact in the European metal working sector which accounts for over 87€ billion of value added to the European economy, as well as over 2 million jobs."
