Foreword
With the publication of all 58 Eurocodes Parts in 2007 a major milestone in the European standardisation for
construction has been achieved. Now the Eurocodes are in the key stage of national implementation by the
Member States, which will be achieved already in 2010.
The Eurocodes are built on best European practice, expertise and research achievements. They provide for
highest technical quality of construction design. Furthermore, the Eurocodes will create job opportunities by
giving engineers, contractors, designers and product manufacturers the freedom to provide services in any
Member State throughout Europe. The competition in cross-border provision of construction products and
services will contribute to lower costs, raising quality and favouring technological innovation.
To achieve maximum benefit from the opportunities provided by the Eurocodes, the National Authorities,
National Standardisation Bodies, Technical and Scientific Organisations and the Construction Industry must
be ready to use them. For this purpose, technical training, continuing professional development and
university courses should be arranged and encouraged at national and international level. According to
Annex A of Guidance Paper L, training of staff is the responsibility of Industry, in cooperation with National
Authorities and National Standardisation Bodies.
Three levels of training will be needed depending on the audience, as follows:
o Level 1 – the policy of Eurocodes implementation, National Annexes, co-existence with National Codes,
the Eurocodes system, etc., aimed at National authorities, National Standardisation Bodies and senior
personnel in companies.
o Level 2 – introductory courses for each individual Eurocode.
o Level 3 – comprehensive courses with design examples of a number of typical structures using a
particular package of Eurocodes.
In order to contribute towards consistency in the implementation and use of the Eurocodes in the Member
States and to facilitate training and awareness campaigns, the European Commission is supporting the
elaboration and publication of information, training and background material on the Eurocodes. The website
“Eurocodes: Building the future” (http://eurocodes.jrc.ec.europa.eu) serves as a platform for the collection,
exchange and dissemination of training and promotional material and information.
The Workshop “Eurocodes: Background and applications” marks the achievement of a key milestone in the
European standardisation for construction: all Eurocodes parts being published by CEN and ready for
implementation and use in the Member States. It is also a major European training event on the Eurocodes.
The event is organized by the European Commission with the support of CEN and Member States. It aims to

transfer knowledge and state-of-the-art training material and information from the Eurocodes writers to
representatives of key institutions, Industry and technical associations involved in training on the Eurocodes
in Member States.
We are pleased to welcome the more than 300 national delegates and we hope this Workshop will enhance
the training potential within the Member States and will stimulate consistent and timely application of the
Eurocodes.

Workshop information
Objectives
This workshop intends to contribute towards the transfer of background knowledge and expertise of
Eurocodes writers (CEN/TC250 Sub-Committees and Project teams) to potential trainers on national level. It
consists essentially of introductory courses to each individual Eurocode.
The principal objectives of the event are:
o Transfer of knowledge and information to representatives of key organisations/institutions, industry and
technical associations involved in training on the Eurocodes in Member States;
o Enhancing the training potential of the Member States by provision of state-of-the-art training material
and background information;
o Contribution to consistent and timely implementation of the Eurocodes;
o Facilitating exchange of views, networking and cooperation.
General programme
The Workshop programme includes common sessions on 18 February and five parallel sessions on 19 and
20 February.
The session in the morning of 18 February is jointly organised by the European Commission, CEN and
CEN/TC250 experts, representatives of National Authorities, National Standardisation Bodies and industry. It
will cover the major issues and priorities related to implementation, use and further development of the
Eurocodes. The session also includes presentations on related EU legislation, national implementation
modalities and use, and future challenges. The common afternoon session will be dedicated to EN 1990:
Basis of structural design.
The lectures on 19 and 20 February are intended for smaller groups and will focus on individual Eurocodes
in a comprehensive manner. They will be organised by the CEN/TC250 Sub-Committees and the Horizontal
Group on fire design. It is foreseen that each of the sessions on EN 1991 – EN 1999 and on fire design is
attended by approximately 70 people (average of two representatives per country).
In addition to the common sessions on 18 February, each participant will have the possibility to follow two
different sessions: one on 19 and another on 20 February. An average of two participants per country will be
allowed for each session on 19 and 20 February.

EUROCODESBackground and Applications
Participants
Any individual professional interested in training on the Eurocodes may apply. However, maximum ten
participants from each country will have the possibility to participate. This number of participants will allow
working in manageable groups during the two days (19 and 20 February) of specialised lectures on individual
Eurocodes.
Priority will be given to participants recommended by National Authorities and/or National Standardisation
Bodies.
Participants can come from EU Member States, EFTA Member States and EU Candidate Countries.
Attendance fees
No registration/attendance fees are requested from the participants. They are responsible for their own
travel, accommodation and subsistence costs, which will not be reimbursed by the European Commission.
The participants should find financial support from their National Administration, industry or from other
sponsoring sources.
The participants should take care of their own travel and accommodation arrangements.
Workshop material
A “training package” consisting of the slide presentations and the technical papers on the lectures plus all
other relevant material will be distributed to the participants. All this material will be subsequently made
available on the “Eurocodes: Building the future” website (http://eurocodes.jrc.ec.europa.eu).

CPD obligation
The real obligation resulting from the CPD for manufacturers is :• To assess and then declare the performance of the construction
product
• For pre-determined (mandated) characteristics (ER 1 to 6)
• Using the ‘technical European vocabulary” included in hENs- Assessment methods
- Technical definitions of characteristics
Brussels, 18-20 February 2008 – Dissemination of information workshop 3
EUROCODESBackground and Applications
P. Bar
Principle
• For « structural products » (products playing a structural role in a structure, e.g. precastconcrete products, structural timber products, structural steel components),
• the performances linked to mechanical resistance (ER1) and safety in case of fire (ER2) may be assessed by calculation (instead of test)
Brussels, 18-20 February 2008 – Dissemination of information workshop 4
EUROCODESBackground and Applications
P. Bar
Principle
• A calculation method can be used as « assessment
methods » to determine the performance of the product
(ER1, ER2)– When a « non destructive method » is needed
– When calculation is cheaper than test
– When modelisation is sufficiently confirmed by comparison with
experience and tests

Guidance Paper L
• Guidance Paper L: detailed recommendation on how to assess and declare performances regarding mechanical strength (ER1), Stability in case of fire (ER2) and safety in use (ER4) in CE marking
Brussels, 18-20 February 2008 – Dissemination of information workshop 6
EUROCODESBackground and Applications
P. Bar
• Clause 1.3.1: Eurocodes should be referred to in hENsand ATEs:– For products with properties entering into structural calculations
of works (ER1 and 2). For them, the assessment methods should be consistent with the assumptions and provisions made in Eurocodes
– For products with properties which can be directly determined according to the Eurocodes. Here, Eurocodes constitute the method to assess the « declared value » given in CE marking for structural products
Guidance Paper L
Brussels, 18-20 February 2008 – Dissemination of information workshop 7
EUROCODESBackground and Applications
P. Bar
For these products, • CE marking shall provide all the information necessary to use the
product concerned in works or integrate the product characteristics into the structural design of works
• three methods are defined, to provide the information which need to be declared as accompanying information with the CE marking:
- Method 1: geometrical data of the components and of properties of the materials and constituent products
- Method 2: calculated characteristic values or design values- Method 3: reference to design documents of the work or client’s orders (the designer
of construction work)
Guidance Paper L
Brussels, 18-20 February 2008 – Dissemination of information workshop 8
EUROCODESBackground and Applications
P. Bar
• Method 1: Declared values are only geometrical data of the component and performances of materials and constituent products necessary to perform calculation. – The calculation is done in the context of the design of work and
not in the CE marking of the product (Guidance Paper L, clause 3.3.2)
– This method can be used for off-the-shelf products, or products designed according to a standard but adjusted to meet a client ’s particular need .
Guidance Paper L
Brussels, 18-20 February 2008 – Dissemination of information workshop 9
EUROCODESBackground and Applications
P. Bar
• Method 2. Declared values:– « characteristic values » independent from NDPs,
or
– « design values » calculated using NDPs in force where the product can be used
For a product intended to be sold in various countries, CE marking will provide the various design values calculated using the various sets of NDPs applicable in the possible country of destination
CE marking will provide the design(s) value(s) and the NDPs used to perform calculation(s)
Guidance Paper L
Brussels, 18-20 February 2008 – Dissemination of information workshop 10
EUROCODESBackground and Applications
P. Bar
• Based on method 2, the information provided in CE marking can be
• Usable as input for calculations according to Eurocodes (characteristic value), but the design value is then calculated by the designer of the work, using the NDPs valid in the place where the work is done,
• Directly usable as design value if it the determination of the design value incorporate the used of NDPs applicable in the country of destination. The choice of the relevant NDP entitle to take into account National climatic, geographical specificity or traditions or quality level set up by a Member State
Guidance Paper L

• Method 2 may be used for– of-the-shelf products

• Method 3 : reference to drawings and documents provided by the client– this method is used for real made to measure
products, made in response to a design ordered by another party
– mechanical resistance and fire resistance aspects are under the responsibility of the designer

• The design and the manufacture of the product have to comply with the relevant technical provisions developed in product hEN (including Factory Production Control and Initial Type Testing)
Products hENs
Brussels, 18-20 February 2008 – Dissemination of information workshop 16
EUROCODESBackground and Applications
P. Bar
• When product hEN requires that mechanical strength to be assessed using Eurocodes, – Eurocode takes the same status than a test method
and becomes a harmonised supporting standard– The use of Eurocodes as assessment method of the
performance of the product is compulsory, (even in countries where Eurocodes would not be the single accepted method for the design of construction works)
– Products that have declared value determined according to Eurocodes must be allowed to be placed on the market and used for the purpose they are intended, in all Members States
Products hENs
Brussels, 18-20 February 2008 – Dissemination of information workshop 17
EUROCODESBackground and Applications
P. Bar
• In other terms, if a structural product hEN requires to use Eurocodes to assess mechanical strength of the product,– It becomes compulsory to be used by all manufacturers
everywhere in Europe to assess and to declare the performance of the products concerning mechanical resistance in the information accompanying CED marking
– This assessment shall be recognised and accepted by MSs as relevant,
– No additional test on the assessment of this performance can be required to place a product on the market at national / locallevel (including in countries where another design method of construction work is accepted)

… become input data for the calculation made for the design of a construction work or to determine the dimensions of constitutiveelements, using Eurocodes
The performances of the products relating to mechanical strength (including in case of fire) which are declared in the CE marking for structural products (and which possibly were assessed by calculation using Eurocodes) …
Brussels, 18-20 February 2008 – Dissemination of information workshop 19
EUROCODESBackground and Applications
P. Bar
• Design of structures: – Calculation methods (formulas, with variables
and parameters) included in the various Eurocodes
– NDPs defining actions, – NDPs correcting performance of the products
A consistent system
Brussels, 18-20 February 2008 – Dissemination of information workshop 20
EUROCODESBackground and Applications
P. Bar
• If the basis to assess the performance of a structural product in CE marking is not complying with the national regulation (or the specific wishes of a designer or the conditions met in a specific structure by a structural construction product) –e.g. statistical conditions to define the performance are not the same,
• Then the national regulation (or the designer) may correct the value of the mechanical strength adjusting this value by the use of partial factors when the performance of the product given in the CE marking Is introduced as input for the calculation
A consistent system
Brussels, 18-20 February 2008 – Dissemination of information workshop 21
EUROCODESBackground and Applications
P. Bar
• Therefore, the performance value of mechanical strength provided in CE marking may becorrected by Partial factor at the moment the calculation is done for the design of the construction works, using Eurocodes
• Evidently, the “usual” (best) situation should be to have information provided in CE marking consistent and directly usable in Eurocodes calculations
A consistent system
Brussels, 18-20 February 2008 – Dissemination of information workshop 22
EUROCODESBackground and Applications
P. Bar
The revised CPR
• It would not introduce substantial changes• Members States will have to decide if the use of
Eurocodes to design construction works is authorised, or recommended, or compulsory
• When a regulation will force to use Eurocodes, it will become compulsory to declare the relevant performances characteristics in CE marking
