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. They are the recommended reference for technical specifications in public contracts.
The next generation of the Eurocodes, the second generation, will be published by 2026.
A re-edition of the JRC Science for Policy report “Prospect for European Guidance for the Structural design of Tensile Membrane Structures” has now been published.
The European Commission DG CLIMA has issued a report that collects and synthesises existing methods, specifications, best practices and guidance for the construction and renovation of buildings into two documents, namely a Technical guidance and a Best practice guidance.

Explore the documents with complete worked examples on specific parts of structural and geotechnical design with the Eurocodes.
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.
There is a considerable interest in the use of EN Eurocodes outside EU
