Could you explain the significance of being a fully UKCA Marked supplier and manufacturing to the EN1090 specification?
The sole Purpose of being UKCA Marked is to ensure a governing body has accessed you and your company to check you are manufacturing to a high standard, along with having full traceability within every product you use, sell and manufacture should there be a failure. An Audit will take place each year to ensure all new and current employee’s qualifications are still in date. And All equipment is being serviced, maintained and calibrated where required. All of which is to ensure the end product once manufactured is compliant with the current UK and European standards.
It is actually Illegal to manufacture ANY Steel product without being UKCA Marked. Whether that is on site fabrication or in house. You can have your buildings insurance revoked should you be asked to supply paper work showing your steels have been manufactured to EN1090.
