The JRC is responsible for the maintenance, development and use of the Database with the Eurocodes Nationally Determined Parameters (NDPs Database) adopted in the countries applying the EN Eurocodes.
The JRC administrates the centralised Eurocodes Helpdesk that provides a link between users of the Eurocodes, National Standardisation Bodies and CEN/TC250.
Many countries outside EU-EFTA have shown interest or have already adopted the Eurocodes. The JRC is collecting and managing the information on the Eurocodes worldwide status and presents such information in a map that is regularly updated.
