摘要

The paper provides topical information about the state-of-the-art and development trends of technical standardization f design and fabrication of steel structures in the Slovak Republic in the international especially European context. Extraordinary attention is devoted to the new Slovak standard for design of steel structures STN 73 1401:1998 as well as the prepared European standard for design of steel structures ENV or EN 1993 and the European standard for fabrication of steel structures ENV 1090 or EN 1090.
