Overview
CEN/TC 250 decided in 2008 that no revision of the Eurocodes shall be carried out at least until March 2013. Necessary amendments and corrigenda of the Eurocodes may be published until March 2013. This decision led to a large number of amendments and corrigenda, which were mostly published as separate documents. For better organization and applicability of these documents, the DIN prepares consolidated versions as new versions for all parts of the Eurocode affected by this. These documents then contain the current amendments and corrigenda. In this context, the mentions of replacement on the Eurocodes are also supplemented accordingly. A new edition is also published, even if only the superseding note is to be supplemented. DIN EN 1993-1-1 contains rules for the design, calculation and dimensioning of steel structures. Applicability of the rules is limited in the text, if required. This part of Eurocode 3 does not contain information on design in the case of fire, special aspects for construction of other civil engineering works, for example, bridges, towers and masts, sheet piles or offshore structures are not taken into account. These special fields of application are dealt with in other parts of the DIN EN 1993 standard series. The Committee responsible for this standard is NA 005-08-16 AA "Tragwerksbemessung (Sp CEN/TC 250/SC 3)" ("Design of structures (Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 250/SC 3)") at DIN.
