ASFP to champion Passive Fire Protection at Intersec 2026 with exhibitor zone

24 July 2025  

The Association for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP) is set to make a bold and influential mark at Intersec 2026, the world’s largest and most prestigious fire, safety, and security trade show, held in Dubai. With more than 52,000 global professionals expected to attend, Intersec presents an unparalleled opportunity for fire safety businesses to gain visibility, build international partnerships, and showcase innovations at scale.

 

ASFP will lead a dedicated Passive Fire Protection (PFP) Zone within the respected UK Pavilion. This centralised hub of technical expertise and trusted British standards gives exhibitors not only physical space but strategic positioning - placing them directly in front of key international stakeholders, specifiers, regulators, and buyers. Companies that exhibit alongside ASFP benefit from a turnkey exhibition package, which includes booth build, branding, and full logistical support, ensuring a seamless experience from setup to showtime.

  • Mike Ward, Managing Director of ASFP, will present "Professionalising the Passive Fire Industry", a talk focused on ASFP’s work to redefine the sector through structured competency frameworks and third-party certification. His session outlines how the industry is evolving from a loose collection of trades into a disciplined, standards-based profession with measurable quality and accountability.
  • Paul McSoley will deliver a session titled "Systematic Approaches to Passive Fire Design", highlighting collaborative strategies for managing building risk and designing compliant, integrated PFP systems. His talk will resonate with legal duty holders and design professionals working to align safety requirements with real-world applications.
  • Andrew Taylor will explore the often-misunderstood link between Construction Product Regulations (CPR) and Building Regulations. His session will demystify compliance pathways through CE and UKCA marking, and explain how these systems fit within broader safety legislation - crucial knowledge for product manufacturers and specifiers alike.
  • Hannah Mansell will present on "Specification, Installation & Compliance in the Evolving Building Safety Landscape", offering practical guidance to professionals involved in fire door safety management, procurement, and the operational lifecycle of buildings. Her session is tailored to those navigating changing responsibilities under the latest building safety reforms.
  • Kate Milford will complete the line-up with "Building Competence in Passive Fire Protection", underscoring the importance of competence and third-party accreditation from design through inspection. She’ll explain how training and proper oversight at every stage of construction helps to meet legal obligations and ultimately save lives.

 

 

Together, these sessions form a comprehensive programme that positions ASFP and its exhibitors as the go-to authorities for safe, compliant, and future-ready passive fire protection.
