It shows their focus on working with our specialists to ensure projects are fit for purpose in their passive fire protection performance. It’s further evidence how the ASFP membership is expanding, not just in numbers, which is always import to any association, but in quality of membership.“

“Building owners are increasingly aware of their responsibilities to check their buildings for passive fire protection installations. Many clients check their property to ensure fire protection installations are installed correctly and it’s our duty that we have a high quality, consistent approach to this important area that can save lives.
