Structural data

All our trusses are calculated according to the Eurocode 9 (DIN-EN 1999) standard. Eurocodes are
standards based on Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD).
The structural data provided before January 2016 was based on the German DIN 4113 standard. As this
standard had a different safety principle, the structural values cannot be compared.
TÜV certificates issued after February 2015 are all based on Eurocode 9.
