    Weightron Bilanciai Achieve EN1090 Certification

    Weightron Admin|14 November, 2014

    Weightron have become the first UK weighbridge manufacturer to meet new assessment criteria for structural steel work in accordance with EN 1090.

    Following the formal assessment and certification by the Notified Body – Centre for Assessment Ltd*, Weightron Bilanciai Ltd are now authorised to issue declarations of performance certificates (CE Marking) with its structural steel work in line with the EN 1090 harmonised standard. The certification (Ref 14/3498) covers the company’s wide range of weighbridges and ancillary items, including ramps and instrumentation support structures.

    CE Marking

    From the 1st July 2014 it has become a legal requirement within the UK that all structural steel work being despatched from production facilities for use within civil works must be CE Marked. This CE requirement is based on the European Construction Product Regulation (CPR).
    Weightron’s Sales Director Emlyn Roberts is clear on the importance of this latest certification:“We believe we are the first UK weighbridge manufacturer to achieve this certification. This under-pins the quality of our weighbridge products, providing the reassurance to the market of our fabrication and welding expertise, together with our production control capabilities. The CE Marking of structural steel for civil engineering works is regulated by Trading Standards. Engineering contractors and insurance companies underwriting works will expect that structural steel arriving at site is CE Marked with the supporting declarations of performance certificate.”

    Weightron design, build and install a complete range of pit and surface mount weighbridges, instrumentation and software. Their products are used across a wide range of industries including energy from waste, waste recycling, chemical, petrochemical, plastics, engineering, quarrying and agriculture.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is a Weighbridge?

      A Weighbridge (US truck scale) is a large, low-profile scale used to weigh both road and off-road vehicles (rigid and articulated lorries, dumper trucks, vans etc) and their contents. The load carried by the vehicle is calculated by weighing the vehicle both empty and loaded. The main weighbridge deck structure can be constructed from steel, pre-stressed concrete or steel-concrete composite.

      What is a Pit-Mounted Weighbridge?

      Installed inside a pit, these weighbridges sit flush with the road surface. As they don’t require ramps, they take up less road surface compared to surface mount installations. Suitable for sites with restricted access.

      What is a Surface-Mounted Weighbridge?

      Installed above ground, these weighbridges incorporate steel or concrete ramps to allow vehicles to drive on and off. One advantage is that the ramps slow down vehicle entry speed. Less foundation works are required when compared with pit mount installations. Surface designs are suitable for temporary/portable installations when used with steel ramps.
