News in Brief – June 2006

Posted on by in News

BCSA warns that as European standards for steel products (such as steel sections and structural bolts) are replacing National standards, from September this year steel sections will have to comply with the Construction Products Regulations, which makes CE marking for steel sections a de facto requirement. Within the next two years our National standards for steel fabrication (BS 5950 Part 2) will be replaced by the European standard EN 1090-2, requiring fabricated steelwork to comply with the Construction Products Regulations, which will make CE marking for fabricated steelwork also a de facto requirement.

CSC has launched a new Version 7 of its Fastrak Building Designer. Features include a facility for truss design, automatic 3D analysis and load distribution, two-way integration with Westok’s  Cellbeam software while 3D+ has been substantially updated.
