In the [[eurocode]] series of [[European Committee for Standardization|European standards]] (EN) related to [[construction]], '''''Eurocode 0: Basis of structural design''''' (formallyinformally '''''Eurocode:Basis of structural design0'''''; abbreviated '''EN 1990''' or, informally, '''EC 0''') establishes the basis that sets out the way to use Eurocodes for structural design. Eurocode 0 establishes Principles and requirements for the safety, serviceability and durability of structures, describes the basis for their design and verification and gives guidelines for related aspects of structural reliability. Eurocode 0 is intended to be used in conjunction with [[EN 1991]] to [[EN 1999]] for the structural design of buildings and civil engineering works, including geotechnical aspects, structural fire design, situations involving earthquakes, execution and temporary structures.
