Alpha Tanks are delighted to announce that it has achieved certification which will allow CE marking of their fabricated structural steelwork up to and including Execution Class 2 (EXC2). This allows it to fabricate the vast majority of steel structures. Since July 1st 2014, under the Construction Products Regulations (CPR), it has been a legal requirement that fabricated structural steelwork delivered to construction sites must be CE certified. The European Standard for the CE marking of structural steelwork is EN1090-1:2009 + A1:2011. In order to be able to CE mark their steelwork, contractors have to implement a certified Factory Production Control (FPC) system and have a documented Welding Quality Management System (WQMS). Alpha Tanks has invested in both personnel and quality assurance systems to ensure that the certification requirements were met.
