THE EUROCODES HAVE BEEN IN FORCE SINCE 2010

These standards include 10 families, and their content serves as a reference throughout Europe.

  • Eurocode 1: climatic loads,
  • Eurocode 3: structural calculation for steel,
  • Eurocode 9: structural calculation for aluminium,
  • Eurocode 0: bases for structural calculation.

The codes make it possible to design the structures of modular buildings in accordance with the essential requirements:

  • Mechanical resistance, stability, and safety,
  • Safety in case of fire,
  • Durability.

Full texts of laws are available on the OJ or from certifying bodies.

"The primacy of one standard over another is left to the discretion of the customer."
