Our members install more than 85% of the sprinkler and water mist installations in the UK. We are dedicated to ensuring that sprinkler systems are installed to the highest professional standards and as a result all BAFSA members must have third party certification.
Download a copy of our membership brochure to find out why there is no better time to join BAFSA - the UK's leading trade association representing the needs and aims of the fire sprinkler industry.
Should you have any queries in relation to any aspect of sprinkler installation or maintenance you can ask our technical advisor Joe McCafferty. If Joe can't assist he will refer your enquiry to another member of our expert team of advisors.
All members get discounted rates when they enrol for any of BAFSA's fully accredited training course. They also get priority notifcations of new courses, seminars and CPD opportunities available though the BAFSA Training Centre
BAFSA has three main committees that meet regularly. They offer an opportunity to have your say on the direction of travel for the association and the industry. The technical committee reviews and advises on all technical aspects of fire sprinklers with respect to UK and EU sprinklers standards, government legislation, LPC rules and third party approval bodies. The skills and development committee's remit is to develop vocational qualifications and training to ensure competency for persons working within the sector. The marketing committee looks at how better to promote the value of fire sprinklers and encourage new entrants to the industry.
All members of BAFSA are automatically offered a listing in the BAFSA Yearbook - which is published every two years. This is an indispensible guide to the sprinkler industry that is distrbuted to building control, housing associations, fire and rescue services, consultants and trade shows relevant to fire safety.
BAFSA members are all listed in our online member directory free of charge. This is where those looking for a third-party certified sprinkler manufacturer or installater come to find them.
As a BAFSA member you are entitled to discounted advertising rates across all BAFSA publications, including Sprinkler Focus, The BAFSA Yearbook and the BAFSA website. To obtain rates and prices email marketing@bafsa.org.uk
BAFSA holds regular networking and social events throughout the year including the hugely popular BAFSA Challenge Day in June at Mottram Hall in Chesire. A seat at our annual dinner held each November after our AGM is one of the most sought after places in the sprinkler industry calendar.
