NTCs (Technical Standards for Buildings), approved by the Ministerial Decree of January 14, 2008, stipulate that as far as not explicitly specified in the same standard, reference may be made to validated norms, such as the Eurocodes with the attached national parameters (Appendices). Circular No. 617 of February 2, 2009, confirms that Structural Eurocodes published by CEN constitute an important reference for the application of the new technical standards. For the full use of Structural Eurocodes, it is therefore necessary to refer to the Appendices containing the "national parameters" that define the safety levels of the work of Member States.
