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 Second Generation EN Eurocode parts will be distributed by CEN to the National Standards Bodies no later than 30 March 2026.
