With the entry into force of new technical regulations for Construction, 30 June 2009, all the materials used in construction must be submitted for law or the quality certification UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 and CE Mark. The CE marking of materials Building became a reality only in recent years. Given the complexity of the subject, in fact, the regulatory framework took several years to develop. The first step of this legislative development was the Directive 89/106/EEC, which is regulated nationally by the Presidential Decree No. 246/93. In fact, the CE material aims to demonstrate that the product complies with the minimum requirements established by law and is obligatory not only for those who export their products in European Union countries, but also for those who only sell within their own nations and involves all those involved in the construction cycle of the asset building. The Directive provides building products that have features to ensure that the work, or part of it, answer the following essential requirements:
Mechanical resistance and stability; 
Safety in case of fire, hygiene, health and environment; 
Safety in; 
protection against noise; 
Energy saving and heat retention. The latest regulatory development, the Decree of the Ministry of Productive Activities of 2004 establishes the mandatory the marking for construction materials that are mentioned in the annexes to the decree. The CE has, in a nutshell, the function of ensuring the consumer, that is, the buyer, the marked construction products meet the essential requirements on safety and have passed the tests required by specifications . The CE thus enabling the test, under the Construction Products Directive, the producer to place products on the market corresponding to the law and should not be confused with a quality management system or with a mark of origin.
addition, the Technical Standards for Buildings have introduced new to the field of concrete, which is certainly counted among the scope of the certification of production process control system known as FPC - Factory Production Control. The rules introduce an obligation for all plants producing ready-mixed concrete to have adequate procedures for controlling the production process.
In this regard, the prof. Riccardo Lo Brutto , general manager of Studio Lo Brutto , can claim the distinction of being the first consultant to be followed up and did get, in Sicily, the CE a company producing concrete lattice girder beams in the province of Palermo. This result was possible thanks to the work of the technical staff of Studio Lo Brutto, supported admirably by the external collaboration of Eng. Marine Vincenzo Catania, on the issue of certification has been edited by SGS spa For years the Studio Lo Brutto is responsible for quality certification and has been gradually specializing in concrete and derivatives prefabricated and aggregates and aggregates, creating an ad hoc advisory services with the objective to solve its customers all the problems and difficulties in obtaining various certifications and markings.
