2010 has been fixed as the date when the building industry in Europe is transferred from national standards to the Eurocodes. In Denmark however, the National Agency for Enterprise and Construction has decided that Denmark will implement the Eurocodes as early as 2008.

“The Danish building industry will have a competitive advantage, when we transfer to the Eurocode- platform before other countries. At the same time the newly revised Danish standards are reflecting the principles of the Eurocodes more than earlier, which will make the transfer for the building industry easier” says project manager, Erling Trudsø from the Danish Standards Association.
