CE Marking (European Conformity)
CE marking is mandatory for certain products, including steel structural components, in order for them to be marketed within the European Economic Area. CE marking provides a harmonized methodology to assess, test, calculate, express, guarantee, and ultimately declare the performance of a product. It ensures that the product complies with all European Union regulations governing its use — from design and manufacturing to market placement, commissioning, and eventual disposal. To apply the CE Marking to their products, manufacturers of steel structural components must obtain the UNI EN 1090 Company Certification. In cases where the manufacturer performs welding, obtaining the UNI EN 1090 Company Certification is also contingent on acquiring the UNI EN ISO 3834 Company Certification.
Company Certifications UNI EN 1090 and UNI EN ISO 3834 (ISO Logo)
The UNI EN 1090 Company Certification (execution of steel and aluminum structures) allows us to comply with the obligation to apply the CE Marking to our steel structural components, enabling their sale in Italy and across Europe.Without the UNI EN 1090 Company Certification, we would not be able to market our products within the European Economic Area, even with customer approval, as this would violate legal requirements regarding CE Marking for our products.To obtain the UNI EN 1090 Company Certification, we were required to develop a Manufacturing and Control Plan (PFC) that oversees all phases of our production processes — from order acquisition to product delivery, including management of procurement and infrastructure.The UNI EN 1090 and UNI EN ISO 3834 Company Certifications must be issued by a third-party Certification Body, notified to the European Commission, which carries out initial assessments and periodic audits necessary to maintain the certifications.Since our production involves welding, obtaining the UNI EN 1090 Company Certification also required acquiring the UNI EN ISO 3834 certification (quality requirements for fusion welding of metallic materials), which defines the quality standards we must meet to properly manage the welding-based manufacturing process.These certifications not only allow us to market our products throughout Europe but also provide an important assurance to clients, who can be confident that they are purchasing from a company capable of producing metal structures in compliance with applicable regulations and ensuring that finished products meet the declared performance standards.
Compliant with UNI 7697 Standard
UNI (Italian National Standards Body) is a private, independent, non-profit association recognized by Italy and the EU. UNI represents Italy in CEN and ISO, developing European and international standards.
UNI 7697 (safety in glass applications) sets the guidelines for selecting glass products based on use and conditions, ensuring player and spectator safety. The 2021 update introduced the mandatory use of laminated safety glass for sports courts (e.g., padel and squash), replacing monolithic tempered glass alone.
While the standard is technically voluntary, applying it represents best practice for safety. Courts built in compliance with UNI 7697 provide clear proof of safety measures in case of incidents.
All our courts are available with classic 12 mm monolithic tempered glass or laminated safety glass with interlayers (6+6 mm, 8+6 mm, 8+8 mm), all certified performance class 1B1 and compliant with UNI 7697:2021.
Compliant with FITP Guidelines
The Italian Tennis and Padel Federation (FITP), the national governing body for padel, publishes the manual “Tennis, Beach Tennis, and Padel Facilities”, which provides official guidelines for court construction, including additional technical and regulatory requirements.
For clients, purchasing a court compliant with FITP guidelines ensures conformity with official approval standards. However, this does not automatically guarantee overall safety, quality, or compliance with local building regulations, which must still be observed.
Compliant with FFT Guidelines
The French Tennis Federation (FFT), the national governing body for padel in France, publishes the federal specification “La Construction d’une Piste de Padel” (“Building a Padel Court”), which provides detailed guidance, additional technical information, and references to European standards for design, construction, and safety.
For clients, purchasing a court compliant with FFT guidelines provides a strong guarantee of adherence to the highest quality and safety standards, in line with the latest European regulations and best construction practices.
Technical data sheets for steel, iron, and other structural materials are also available.
