Association for Specialist Fire Protection

History

The Association of Structural Fire Protection Contractors and Manufacturers was formed in 1975 following meetings between all interested parties and the regulators to establish standards for products and contracting performance for the fire protection of buildings and structures. In 1992 the word “structural” in the Association’s name was replaced with “specialist” in order to reflect the wider scope of ASFP members’ activities and the name was shortened to ASFP

The Membership

ASFP currently represents the majority of UK contractors and manufacturers of passive fire protection products with associate members representing regulatory, certification, testing and consulting bodies.
