The EN Eurocodes are a series of 10 European Standards, EN 1990 - EN 1999, providing a common approach for the design of buildings and other civil engineering works and construction products.

Message from CEN/TC250 chairman J-A Calgaro, chairman of CEN/TC250, outlines the medium-term strategy to uphold the Eurocodes as the most advanced codes for the design of civil engineering works.
