M/084 - Qualification of constr. ent.

Standardization mandate to CEN and CENELEC for the development of European Standards for the qualification of construction enterprises

Mandate M/084 directs CEN and CENELEC to develop European Standards for the qualification of construction enterprises. The objective is to create standardized criteria and procedures to assess and recognize the capabilities and reliability of construction companies operating in the EU. This mandate aims to enhance transparency, quality assurance, and trust in the construction sector across member states by establishing uniform qualification requirements. The decision on this mandate was recorded under resolution CEN/BT C109/1995.

Purpose

This mandate aims to task the European standardisation organisations CEN and CENELEC with developing European Standards specifically for the qualification of construction enterprises. The goal is to establish common criteria and practices that assess the competence and reliability of companies operating in the construction sector throughout the European Union.

Standardisation request

The request calls for the preparation of harmonised standards that define how construction enterprises should be qualified. This includes creating standardised procedures, requirements, and benchmarks to evaluate their technical capabilities, financial stability, and organisational structures. Such standards would support transparency, trust, and fair competition across EU internal markets.

Expected deliverables

  • Development of one or more European Standards specifying qualification criteria for construction enterprises.
  • Guidelines and frameworks facilitating uniform assessment of construction companies’ suitability for public and private construction projects.
  • Tools to help contracting authorities and other stakeholders verify the competence of construction enterprises consistently across Europe.

Context

This mandate was referenced in resolution CEN/BT C109/1995, reflecting a mid-1990s initiative to enhance European integration of construction markets. Standardising enterprise qualification aligns with EU policies aimed at reducing technical barriers to trade and promoting cross-border economic activity within the construction industry. By establishing common qualification standards, it supports market transparency and safety, contributing to the overall competitiveness and quality assurance of construction services in the EU.

This mandate covers the development of European Standards for the qualification of construction enterprises. It focuses on establishing criteria and requirements for assessing and verifying the qualifications of companies operating in the construction sector.

EN 14025:2013+A1:2016(Main)
Tanks for the transport of dangerous goods - Metallic pressure tanks - Design and construction
SIST EN 14025:2013+A1:2016

This European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for the design and construction of metallic pressure tanks having a maximum working or test pressure exceeding 50 kPa (0,5 bar), for the transport of dangerous goods by road and rail and sea. This European Standard includes requirements for openings,closures and structural equipment; it does not cover requirements of service equipment. For tanks for the
transport of cryogenic liquids, EN 13530-1 and EN 13530-2 apply.
NOTE 1 Design and construction of pressure tanks according to the scope of this European Standard are primarily subject to the requirements of RID/ADR, 6.8.2.1, 6.8.3.1 and 6.8.5, as relevant. In addition, the relevant requirements of RID/ADR, columns 12 and 13 of Table A to chapter 3.2, 4.3 and 6.8.2.4 apply. For the structural equipment subsections 6.8.2.2 and 6.8.3.2 apply, as relevant. The definitions of RID/ADR 1.2.1 are referred to. For portable tanks see also Chapter 4.2 and Sections 6.7.2 and 6.7.3 of RID and ADR. In addition, the relevant requirements of RID/ADR, columns 10 and 11 of Table A to Chapter 3.2, 4.2, 6.7.2 and 6.7.3 apply. The paragraph numbers above relate to the 2013 issue of RID/ADR which are subject to regular revisions. This can lead to temporary non-compliances with EN 14025. It is
important to know that requirements of RID/ADR take precedence over any clause of this standard.
NOTE 2 This standard is applicable to liquefied gases including LPG, however for a dedicated LPG standard see EN 12493.
If not otherwise specified, provisions which take up the whole width of the page apply to all kind of tanks.
Provisions contained in a single column apply only to:
road and rail pressure tanks according to RID/ADR chapter 6.8 (left-hand column); ortable tanks according to RID/ADR chapter 6.7 right-hand column
