As a leading UK sign manufacturer, we recognised the importance of achieving BS EN 1090 EXC2 certification for structural fabrication, enabling us to deliver this specialist capability entirely in-house. By bringing structural fabrication under one roof, we reduce project costs, shorten lead times and maintain complete control over quality at every stage.
As one of only a small number of sign manufacturers offering this service in-house, we oversee every aspect of the process, from design and engineering through fabrication and installation. This integrated approach ensures full traceability, rigorous quality control and compliance with the highest structural and health and safety standards, giving our customers complete confidence in the safety, performance and longevity of every installation.
Leading Edge is certified to BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2 (EXC2), demonstrating our ability to manufacture structural steel and aluminium components in full compliance with recognised European standards. This accreditation provides customers with confidence that our fabricated products are produced to rigorous quality, safety, and performance requirements.
BS EN 1090 governs the execution of structural steel and aluminium work used within the construction industry and requires manufacturers to operate a robust Factory Production Control (FPC) system. Certification confirms that every stage of our fabrication process is carefully managed, from the procurement of raw materials and material traceability through to welding, fabrication, inspection, testing, and final quality assurance.
Achieving and maintaining EXC2 certification reflects our commitment to consistent manufacturing excellence and ensures that our processes are independently assessed and regularly audited. It also demonstrates that our welding procedures, fabrication techniques, and quality management systems meet the stringent requirements expected for structural applications across commercial, retail, and public sector projects.
For our customers, this means confidence that fabricated signage structures, support frames, architectural metalwork, and other structural components are manufactured safely, accurately, and in accordance with recognised industry standards. Whether delivering a single bespoke installation or a nationwide rollout, our BS EN 1090 EXC2 certification underpins our commitment to quality, compliance, and delivering reliable, long-lasting solutions.
As part of our wider portfolio of industry accreditations, BS EN 1090 EXC2 reinforces Leading Edge’s reputation as a trusted partner capable of delivering complex fabrication projects to the highest professional standards.
Choosing a supplier without BS EN 1090 certification can expose organisations to unnecessary risk, including non-compliant structural assets, potential safety failures and significant legal, financial and reputational consequences. Our certification gives customers confidence that every structural element has been manufactured to recognised industry standards, ensuring safe, reliable and fully compliant installations.
