ASFP AGM 2015

CEO Review

Association Overview Wilf Butcher


ASFP AGM 2014

CEO Review

Two years ago I asked the question Is this the face of 2013


ASFP AGM 2014

CEO Review

Last year I suggested that this was the face of 2014?


ASFP AGM 2015

CEO Review

But is this the face of 2015?


ASFP AGM 2015

CEO Review

In Quarter 1, a balance of 46% of specialist contractors reported a rise in new enquiries, picking up from 15% in Quarter 4. Similarly, 35% of specialist contractors reported an increase in orders in Quarter 1, up 16 percentage points from the balance recorded in Quarter 4

According to recent CPA data (May 2015)

Growth remains positive


ASFP AGM 2015

CEO Review

But what does the future hold for the Passive Fire Protection Sector?

ASFP AGM 2015

CEO Review

So how is your Association supporting you in this process?

The first rule of any Association Never be complacent!


ASFP AGM 2015

CEO Review

We also asked you the question: What are the key reasons for being a member of the ASFP?

You said:

‘Being a member enables us to demonstrate how important we see the whole issue of PFP. ASFP provides access to key influencers, policy makers and decision makers. ASFP membership enables us to contribute to the future of the PFP industry and to raising standards.’ ‘It is the most recognised trade body in the Fire Protection industry and we are a Blue Chip player in that industry - membership is a must have.’


ASFP AGM 2015

CEO Review

We also asked you the question: What are the key issues that you would like to see the ASFP

promote via its editorial and direct contact initiatives?

You said:

‘Driving standards, supporting market education’

‘Competence’

‘Continue to focus on legal responsibilities and the value of quality versus cost’

‘Damages by follow on trades tend to be the hardest problems to solve together with main contractor knowledge therefore education of these personnel could have quite a dramatic and immediate impact.’

‘PFP position re BIM, A robust sustainability position.’


ASFP AGM 2015

CEO Review

We also asked you the question: What actions would you like to see the ASFP undertake that would assist in the support and or development of

your business?

You said:

‘Continue to raise the awareness of PFP and its critical role with a continued focus on the importance of quality and competency and the benefit of specifying third party certification throughout the process. Provide support for the Responsible Person.’ ‘Provide more marketing opportunities for members.’ ‘Develop the fire and flame retardant side of our business.’


ASFP AGM 2015

CEO Review

Finally we also asked you the question: Where would you like to see the ASFP in the

next three years?

You said:

‘A bigger version of what it already is. We rely on the ASFP to promote the key issues that affect all our business, fire safety awareness.’

‘A governing body rather than an advisory one.’

‘Working closely with government and legislators to promote quality and standards and drive 'cowboys' and the ignorant from the industry.’

‘Recognised as the leading independent authority on PFP.’

‘There are many countries that do not have a direct trade body, ASFP in time could look at exporting their services.’


ASFP AGM 2015

CEO Review

So, no pressure then!


ASFP AGM 2015

CEO Review

So how is/will the ASFP meet with it’s members aspirations?

How is the ASFP getting its message across?

But four years on, how is ASFP Ireland viewed

This is the view of

Aidan O'Connor, Health Service Executive Estate Manager Fire Safety, National Directorate of Estates




ASFP AGM 2015

CEO Review

‘From a clients perspective for the first time here in Ireland we have a structured and professional approach to Passive Fire Safety that has the expertise (David) and professional body (ASFP) behind it that is now both recognised and making changes within the industry, this would not have been possible without the drive and enthusiasm that David has brought to the industry both from a clients perspective but also from the installers perspective.

Passive fire safety is now moving in the right direction and this great work must be maintained to ensure compliance moving forward.’

BCAR is effectively ‘Private Sector Building Control’ managed by Registered Professional Certifiers who must be Competent to carryout their design and co-ordinate the design & construction activities of others.

Competent Person Definition: A person is deemed to be competent where, having regard to the task he or she is required to perform and taking into account the size and/or complexity of the building or works, the person possesses sufficient training, experience and knowledge appropriate to the nature of the work to be undertaken.


Is BCAR achieving the Government’s Stated Objective ?

CE MARKING AND THE CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS REGULATION

• CE marking mandatory if product is covered by a European Product Standard (hEN)

• CE marking voluntary if product covered by a European Assessment Document (EAD )

• ASFP has guide to CE marking (website)

• Status of CE marking for all products we are interested in

• Article in IFP (also short) (website)

Products CE Marking basis (29 April 2013) Comments

ETAG hEN

Reactive Coatings for Fire Protection of Steel Elements

Voluntary under ETAG 18-2

EN being prepared by CEN TC 138 WG 13

CEPE has prepared a draft mandate for the EU Commission to discuss in June 2013. This might lead to a hEN and mandatory CE marking, but not for at least 1 year and probably 2.

Renderings and Rendering Kits intended for Fire Resisting Applications


To be prepared in CEN – see comment

EAPFP has prepared a draft mandate for the EU Commission to discuss in June 2013. This might lead to a hEN and mandatory CE marking, but not for at least 1 year and probably 2.

Fire protective board, slab and mat products and kits




Fire Stopping and Fire Sealing Products Part 2: Penetration Seals




Fire Stopping and Fire Sealing Products Part 3 : Linear Joint and Gap Seals




Reactive and Mechanical Air Transfer Grilles, (Fire resistant and Cold Smoke Control Fire Resistant Types




Cavity Barriers Voluntary under ETAG 026-5



Fire resisting ducts Voluntary under ETAG 026-5

prEN 15871 not yet agreed

The hEN reached an advance stage, but has just failed to be agreed as a standard. Consequently, CE marking is still voluntary under ETAG 018-4. Once the hEN is published then it will be mandatory

Fire resisting dampers N/A Mandatory from 1 July 2013 under EN 15650

CE marking is mandatory from 1 July. However, there are some deficiencies in the associated (EXAP) standards which mean that not all products or installations will have been covered. Technically, one can only sell what has been tested and classified and so there will be some difficulties.

Fire doors N/A Voluntary CE marking will only be applicable for doorsets i.e.

• Products currently covered by ETAGS

• Desire for mandatory CE marking

• Mandate currently with CEN/Commission

CEO Review

The ASFP going forward

This project will need to collate such information as:

Identification the types of PFP that are in widespread use and work through the different types of product.

What is the embodied energy, costs etc. in producing, delivering, installing and maintaining the different types of product.

Impact of the fire on the environment in terms of extent of damage, CO2, water run off/pollution, impact on costs of dealing, impact on social aspects (unemployment, relocation, displacement, family stress factors).

What is the impact of a fire on the product – reinstatement, replacement, demolition, etc.

Evaluation of the cost of rebuilding compared with reinstatement including the timescales.

Examples where good PFP has prevented significant fire spread within a building and to others.

Costs of PFP from cradle to end of life including identification of a realistic life of PFP.
