Eurocodes are a set of European Standards developed by which organization?

• A. European Committee for the structural design of civil engineering structures in the EU
• B. British Standards Institution
• C. International Organization for Standardization
• D. American Society of Civil Engineers

Answer: (A)

Eurocodes are European standards for the design of buildings and civil engineering works, developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in Brussels, with collaboration from CENELEC and ETSI. This body is the European-level organization responsible for harmonized standards across member states, which is why the concept in the choice aligns with a European standards committee focused on structural design in the EU. The other options point to organizations that operate at different levels or domains: BSI is a national standards body, ISO is an international standards organization, and the American Society of Civil Engineers is a US-based professional society, not the standards body behind Eurocodes.
