David Sugden, Chairman of the PFPF adds: ‘These have been required by the Building Regulations for many years and the industry produces comprehensive guidance. This includes a programme of Third Party Certification schemes that enable regulators, the client and any contractors working for a client, to ensure that the correct products are installed by suitably qualified people. The fire protection industry has long promoted this but the wider construction trades must also come on board.’
