Hot dip galvanizing to EN ISO 1461 and CE marking of structural steelwork to EN 1090. CE Marking for all construction products, covered by a harmonised European standard or conforming to a European Technical Assessment became mandatory from 1 July 2013. CE Marking for fabricated structural steelwork will come into force one year later – on 1 July 2014.

46 projects were entered through the national and regional galvanizers associations across the world. In addition to the winning projects, Highly Commended projects for each country were noted for their excellent use of galvanizing.
37 projects were entered and the winning project was judged through a voting procedure involving all EGGA member countries. In addition to the overall winning project, nine Highly Commended projects were noted for their excellent use of galvanizing.
EGGA has collaborated with Professor Tom Woolley – a well-known architect and environmental researcher – to publish ‘Galvanizing and Sustainable Construction: A Specifiers Guide’. This comprehensive book explains the economic, social and environmental aspects of batch galvanizing in the context of sustainable building. The publication is also available in other European languages.
