Association for Specialist Fire Protection

"A trade association for the passive fire protection sector. The organisation brings together manufacturers, contractors, and certification bodies to ensure quality installation and maintenance practices for passive fire protection systems, which are built-in measures to restrict fire and smoke spread in buildings." Construction Products Reform White Paper published 26 February.

The Association for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP) says "Founded in 1975, the Association for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP) is the UK's leading trade association dedicated to the advancement of passive fire protection. Recognising the crucial need for collaboration, we bring together manufacturers, contractors, and certification bodies to set and uphold the highest standards in passive fire protection. The ASFP is committed to serving the needs of our members and the broader passive fire protection industry. We focus on raising standards and improving competence through comprehensive training, rigorous testing, certification, and ensuring quality installation and maintenance practices."
