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.
More than 1,500 structural design engineers, architects, specifiers, experts and regulators from 66 countries around the world came together on 24 May 2023 to the conference "The Second Generation Eurocodes: What is new and why?" at DIBt in Berlin and online.
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.

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.

▪ The Eurocodes are adopted in the 31 EU/EFTA Member States and the United Kingdom;
▪ the Eurocodes are adopted or are in process of adoption in 9 non-EU/EFTA countries whose National Standards Bodies are full members of CEN, as well as in 13 countries with other affiliations status in CEN;
▪ other 36 countries have expressed interest in the adoption of 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
