Standards: Setting the foundation for state-of-the-art safety and sustainability

19 August, 2021

The BFPA’s technical committees are made up of technical experts working for member companies who give up their time to contribute to industry standards development. Any UK company in the fluid power industry, both pneumatic and hydraulic, can become involved in this work by joining the BFPA and a committee of interest. There are 10 UK committees which the BFPA runs on behalf of the BSI. Each focuses on a different area of expertise (e.g. contamination control, seals, systems, etc.) and each is responsible for reviewing and updating the relevant technical standards in that field at UK, European (EN) and international (ISO) level.

Participating in a BSI committee has benefits. Members can: influence the content of standards that will support economic growth, innovation, consumer protection and safety, both nationally and internationally; they can network with peers in their industry and expanding their circle of contacts; and once a standard is published, it will be made available to committee members. For more information on BFPA’s work on Standards Development for the fluid power industry contact enquiries@bfpa.co.uk or call BFPA on 01608 647900.
