Eurocode

Eurocode

Eurocode (also known as EN Eurocode or EC) is a set of pan-European model building codes developed by the European Committee for Standardisation.

The EN Eurocode is organised in 57 parts, each part published as a separate "European Standard".By 2002, ten Eurocodes have been developed and published:

* EN 1990: (Eurocode 0) Basis of structural design
* EN 1991: (Eurocode 1) Actions on structures
* EN 1992: (Eurocode 2) Design of concrete structures
* EN 1993: (Eurocode 3) Design of steel structures
* EN 1994: (Eurocode 4) Design of composite steel and concrete structures
* EN 1995: (Eurocode 5) Design of timber structures
* EN 1996: (Eurocode 6) Design of masonry structures
* EN 1997: (Eurocode 7) Geotechnical design
* EN 1998: (Eurocode 8) Design of structures for earthquake resistance
* EN 1999: (Eurocode 9) Design of aluminium structures

The Eurocodes form a common European set of structural design codes for civil engineering work. They will eventually replace the national codes published by national standard bodies (e.g. BS 5950) after a period of co-existence. At the moment some Eurocodes are still in a trial phase, so they are characterised as ENV instead of EN until they are officially adopted. Additionally, each country may have a National Annex to the Eurocodes which will need referencing for a particular country (e.g. The UK National Annex).

As with other European standards, the Eurocodes will be used in public procurement specifications and to assess products for the CE mark.
