Why is membership right for you?

ASFP members cover a broad spectrum of the fire protection industry including manufacturers, system and product installers, distributors, product testing and assessment authorities, fire engineers, fire risk assessors, certification bodies and other associated groups and organisations.

Working continually to increase their profile, ASFP encourages industry influencers to select only ASFP members for all their passive fire protection products, services and installations. Members can be proud to display the ASFP logo and have their company profile on the ASFP website to help create visibility of their company and align their views with the views of the ASFP. Joining the ASFP allows member organisations to link to the power of the ASFP brand, giving the opportunity to promote a joint brand identity whilst creating a link to the ASFP values.

Although the benefits of ASFP membership can provide both direct and indirect opportunities.
