scope:

This Part 6 of European Prestandard ENV 1090 specifies requirements for execution of structural steelwork produced from stainless steel products. This Part of ENV 1090 gives detailed requirements for structures that are not significantly susceptible to fatigue. The definition of structures which are not significantly susceptible to fatigue is given in ENV 1993-1-1. This Part of ENV 1090 applies to austenitic and austentic-ferritic stainless steels. In addition, non-welded threaded bars of precipitation hardened stainless steel are covered. It does not apply to ferritic type stainless steel. NOTE: It is expected that a later version of this Part of ENV 1090 will contain appropriate provisions for other stainless steels. This standard gives details of surface finish specification requirements.
