EN 1090-1 Recertification Successfully Completed: Build with Certified Peace of Mind

We’re proud to announce that FIRST BASE Ground Screws has successfully completed its EN 1090-1 recertification audit, conducted by TÜV Nord. This certification forms the backbone of our production processes and reconfirms that our ground screws meet strict requirements for structural safety, traceability and consistent quality.

The EN 1090 standard is the mandatory framework within the European Union for load-bearing steel and aluminium structures. Our EN 1090-1 certification confirms that all ground screws are produced under a certified Factory Production Control (FPC) system, in line with strict procedures and technical specifications – including the requirements of EN 1090-2 for steel structures. As a result, every screw is fully CE and UKCA marked.

These conformity markings are not optional: any load-bearing steel component installed in the EEA or UK must carry them. By choosing certified FIRST BASE products, installers avoid liability, safety, and compliance risks – both during and after construction.

At FIRST BASE, we choose to uphold these high standards. It’s how we offer installers and builders a solid, compliant, and reliable foundation – from garden structures to tiny homes and from solar arrays to leisure facilities.
