On 27–28 October 2025, the workshop “Harmonising resilient practices for structural design in the built environment – the example of the Eurocodes” was held in hybrid format at the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM), in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.
This workshop marked the final event in the EU-ASEAN Eurocodes Dialogue series of activities and served as its concluding session, bringing together again standardisation experts, regulators, researchers and practicing engineers. The workshop aimed to further raise awareness on the Eurocodes concepts and steps for adoption and strengthen the capacities of relevant national authorities in standardisation and regulatory frameworks to ensure the sustainability of the overall adoption process. The discussions also helped identify potential technical assistance needs to support the development of the Nationally Determined Parameters (NDPs) and National Annexes (NAs) to the Eurocodes.
A total of 41 participants from 7 ASEAN Member States that expressed interest — Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, and Viet Nam — as well as a representative from the ASEAN Secretariat Standards and Conformance Division, attended in person, while 92 participants joined online in the hybrid sessions.
All five sessions attracted considerable interest from participants and stimulated active engagement through questions and constructive discussions. The participants worked to share best practices for a resilient built environment, to strengthen capacities for national standardisation and regulatory bodies, and to build pathways for harmonised structural design standards.
