The ISO 14001 standard is an Environmental Management System which provides businesses with an internationally recognised framework for setting up an environmental management system (EMS). Organisations can use the standard to reduce waste, improve resource efficiency and cut waste management costs.

By following each of the stages and setting up a robust environmental management system, we not only reduce our environmental impact, but also improve efficiency.

ISO 27001 is an international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It is part of the ISO/IEC 27000 family of standards, which provide guidelines and best practices for managing information security.

BS EN 1090 for structural steel and aluminium is a requirement for products sold in Europe. Any organisations who design and/or manufacture steel or aluminium components must adhere to this standard.

Since July 2014, structural steelwork and aluminium fall under the Construction Products Regulation (CPR), which means aluminium or structural steel CE marking must be secured to show compliance with EN 1090-1 (the harmonised European standard that applies to structural metalwork).

This covers any structural component that has been designed and fabricated to meet the BS EN 1991 series of standards (Eurocode 3 and 9) for steel and aluminium structures in buildings. These now need to show that they comply with BS EN 1090-1.
