Structural steel
You make structural steelwork
The CE mark on your steelwork rests on two things — a factory production control system that holds, and a dossier that proves every joint. Worgify builds both as you fabricate.
Runs on Fabrication suite, underEN 1090, UNI EN ISO 3834.
What it costs you today
Where the record breaks.
FPC and the dossier live outside the work
EN 1090-1 makes CE marking conditional on a factory production control system, and the constancy of that system is what a notified body audits. When welding records, material certificates, calibration and inspection sign-offs sit in folders next to the work instead of inside it, the FPC is a binder you rebuild before every audit rather than a system that runs itself.
Cost Days of preparation per audit, and nonconformities on records that were done but never linked
Examination extent is driven by the execution class
EXC1 to EXC4 sets how much you inspect and how you prove it — visual on everything, then NDT extents that rise with the class and the joint type. Deciding that extent by hand, job after job, is where coverage quietly drifts below what the class requires.
Cost Under-inspection that surfaces as a finding, or over-inspection you pay for and cannot bill
Welder and procedure ranges are answered from memory
Whether this welder and this WPS actually cover this joint — thickness, material group, position, throat — is a range calculation from the qualification standard, not a filing question. Answered from a spreadsheet nobody maintains, it is the finding that should never have been a finding.
Cost Rework at the worst moment, and a traceability gap exactly where the audit looks
Who this is for
You fabricate structural steel and aluminium for construction — beams, columns, trusses, bracing, connections. Your product carries a CE mark under the Construction Products Regulation.
That mark isn’t a label you print. It’s a declaration of performance backed by a factory production control (FPC) system that a notified body assesses and keeps auditing.
The regime that governs you
EN 1090-1 is the harmonised standard for CE marking. It requires a documented FPC system and ties initial type testing and ongoing assessment to it.
EN 1090-2 sets the execution requirements and fixes the execution class — EXC1 to EXC4 — as the dial that scales rigour. The class you assign a component decides three things:
- how much you inspect — visual, then NDT extents that rise with the class;
- the acceptance criteria, via EN ISO 5817 quality levels;
- how much you have to document.
It also requires a welding quality management system to ISO 3834 at every execution class — elementary, then standard, then comprehensive (ISO 3834-2) at EXC3 and EXC4.
So ISO 3834 isn’t optional colour: it’s a condition of executing to EN 1090 at all. Its demands on welder qualification (ISO 9606-1), procedure qualification (ISO 15614-1) and welding coordination are the spine of your FPC.
Where Worgify fits
Worgify Fabrication is one system for the shop, with the regime switched on per job. For structural steel:
- Welding management holds your WPS, PQR/WPQR and welder qualifications as live records, and computes the qualified range from the essential variables — thickness, material group, position, throat. “Does this welder and this procedure cover this joint?” is answered by the engine, not from memory.
- Inspection and ITP driven by the execution class: visual on everything, NDT extents that rise with EXC and joint type, against EN ISO 5817 acceptance levels.
- The MRB/MDR dossier, built as work happens — material certificates (EN 10204), welding records, calibration, NDT reports and sign-offs, each linked to the joint it belongs to.
The CE mark is only ever as strong as the record behind it. Worgify makes that record a by-product of doing the work correctly.
