In the [Eurocode](/source/Eurocode) series of [European standards](/source/European_Committee_for_Standardization) (EN) related to [construction](/source/Construction), ***Eurocode 9: Design of aluminium structures*** (abbreviated **EN 1999** or, informally, **EC 9**) describes how to design [aluminium alloy](/source/Aluminium_alloy) [structures](/source/Structure). It complies with the principles and requirements for the safety and serviceability of structures, the basis of their design and verification that are given in [EN 1990](/source/EN_1990) – Basis of structural design. It sets requirements for structural integrity, including strength, serviceability, durability and fire resistance.

EN 1999 is intended to be used in conjunction with:

- [EN 1990](/source/EN_1990): Eurocode – Basis of structural design;

- [EN 1991](/source/EN_1991): Eurocode 1 – Actions on structures;

- European Standards for construction products relevant for aluminium structures;

- [EN 1090](/source/EN_1090)-1 : Execution of steel structures and aluminium structures – Part 1 : General technical delivery conditions for structural steel and aluminium components;

- [EN 1090](/source/EN_1090)-3 : Execution of steel structures and aluminium structures – Part 3 : Technical requirements for aluminium structures.

Eurocode 9 has five parts:[1]

- EN 1999-1-1: General structural rules

- EN 1999-1-2: Structural fire design

- EN 1999-1-3: Structures susceptible to fatigue

- EN 1999-1-4: Cold-formed structural sheeting

- EN 1999-1-5: Shell structures
