Why Quality Assurance and CE Marking
When you choose to implement quality assurance and CE marking for your steel structures, you're investing in safety, documentation, and future-proofing your project. CE marking is not only a legal requirement under the EN 1090 standard – it is also your guarantee that the structure meets the necessary criteria for load-bearing capacity, durability, and safety.
Avoid costly consequences and delays
If your steel structure is not CE marked, you risk facing serious consequences when authorities – such as the municipality or building inspectorate – request documentation. Lack of proper documentation can lead to:
- Rejection of the construction project – Without CE marking and the associated quality documentation, the municipality may require the structure to be removed or modified.
- Project delays – If subsequent quality assurance or new testing is required, it can cause significant delays to your project.
- Increased costs – Having to provide documentation after the fact or modify a structure is often more expensive than doing it right from the start.
- Liability and safety risks – If a structure does not meet the required standards, it can result in liability claims in the event of damage or failure.

EN 1090 – Legal Requirements and Quality Assurance for Steel Structures
EN 1090 is the European standard that defines the requirements for the execution of load-bearing steel structures. CE marking in accordance with EN 1090 is a legal requirement when working with structural steel, ensuring that your project complies with current standards for strength, welding, and documentation.
At JD Stål we are certified according to EN 1090-1, which means we can deliver steel structures in compliance with the required execution classes (EXC1–EXC3). We ensure that everything from welding to surface treatment meets the standard’s requirements – and we document it all, so you are well-prepared when the authorities request information about your project.
In short: EN 1090 certification is your guarantee of work carried out correctly and in compliance with current legislation.
DS 1140 – Documentation Requirements for the Assembly of Steel Structures
DS 1140 is the Danish standard that defines the documentation requirements for the assembly of load-bearing steel structures. The standard ensures that the assembly is carried out correctly and that the necessary documentation is available for authorities, the client, and other relevant parties.
When a steel structure is assembled, it is not enough for the work to be carried out correctly – it must also be properly documented. DS 1140 outlines how the assembly should be recorded, which inspection points must be observed, and how quality assurance is to be managed in practice.
At JD Stål we ensure that your steel structure is not only assembled in accordance with current regulations, but also that all documentation meets the requirements of DS 1140. This includes:
✔ Registration of materials used and fastening methods
✔ Documentation of welds, bolted joints, and the assembly process
✔ Inspection and quality assurance of the assembly in accordance with the standard’s requirements
✔ Ensuring full traceability in case of inspection or audit
By following DS 1140, you avoid issues when the authorities require documentation for the work performed. You get a safe and transparent assembly process that meets all requirements – and ensures that your project stands strong both now and in the future.
