CE Certified Container House

CE certified container houses are modular building products that meet EU safety, health, and environmental requirements, suitable for export to the EU market. They must pass the EN1090 steel structure standard certification and comply with relevant regulations.

I. Core Requirements of CE Certification

The CE certification for container houses is primarily based on the EU's Construction Products Regulation (CPR) and the EN1090 steel structure standard, requiring compliance with the following conditions:

1. EN1090 Standard System

   • EN1090-1: Basic requirements for the conformity assessment of structural components, covering factory production control (FPC), initial type testing, and continuous surveillance assessment.
   • EN1090-2: Technical requirements for steel structures, specifying core indicators such as welding personnel qualifications, material certificate verification, welding system establishment, and product performance parameters.
   • EN1090-3: Technical requirements for aluminum structures (if aluminum components are involved).
   • Execution Class Selection: Choose from EXC1 to EXC4 based on the house's intended use. For example, ordinary residential buildings typically require EXC2, while high-risk buildings need EXC3 or EXC4.

2. Key Certification Points

   • Material Certificates: Provide quality certificates for steel, welding materials, etc., ensuring compliance with EU standards.
   • Welding System: Establish a welding process that complies with EN1090-1, with welding personnel holding international certification qualifications.
   • Product Testing: Verify structural strength, fire resistance, and other indicators through initial type testing.
   • CE Marking and Declaration: Sign a declaration of conformity and affix the CE mark to the product.

II. Certification Process and Cycle

1. Preparation Stage

   • Submit design documents such as house drawings, material lists, and exploded views (plan, elevation, section).
   • If electrical, gas, or fire protection systems are involved, provide corresponding EU certification reports (e.g., LVD, EMC, gas appliance testing standards).

2. Audit and Testing

   • The certification body audits the factory production control system (FPC), including quality control documents and calibration records of testing equipment.
   • Conduct structural safety, fire resistance, corrosion resistance, and other tests on samples, typically taking 3-6 months, with costs varying based on product complexity.

3. Certification and Surveillance

   • Issue an EN1090 certificate upon passing the audit, valid for three years, with annual surveillance audits required during this period.

III. Market Applications and Purchase Recommendations

1. Application Scenarios
   CE certified container houses are widely used in EU construction site dormitories, temporary offices, commercial exhibition halls, and emergency medical points, meeting the needs for rapid deployment, relocatability, and low-carbon environmental protection.

2. Purchase Considerations

   • Certificate Verification: Request suppliers to provide EN1090 certificates and test reports, confirming that the certification scope covers the product model.
   • Compliance: Ensure that the house design complies with EU seismic resistance (≤8 degrees), number of floors (≤6 floors), and fire resistance limit (≥0.5 hours) requirements.
   • Supplier Qualifications: Prioritize manufacturers with ISO9001 quality management system certification, CE certification, and export experience, such as Hebei Yitai and Suzhou Baiyi.
