Brexit preparedness
BFPA is encouraging its members to prepare for Brexit and the end of the Transition period by checking the requirements for the new UKCA (UK Conformity Assessed) product mark which will be used for goods being placed on the market in Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland) from 1 January 2021. The UKCA marking will apply to most goods currently subject to the CE marking. More information can be found at www.gov.uk but companies are advised to contact their Notified Bodies as soon as possible to understand their options for conformity assessment for the UK and EU markets.

BFPA and Fluid Power & Systems 2020
The British Fluid Power Association (BFPA), the only UK trade association for the hydraulic and pneumatic industries, will be exhibiting at the 2020 Fluid Power & Systems at the NEC on 21 – 23 April. The show takes place alongside Drives & Controls, Plant & Asset Management, Smart Industry Expo and Air-Tec, and also MACH, which is the largest Engineering Show in the UK (MACH is owned by the Machine Technologies Association (MTA). The BFPA pavilion is the centre of attraction for all our members who are exhibiting or visiting and acts as a very welcome hospitality venue which is heavily patronised by both exhibiting members and guests. It also acts as a first port of call for potential member customers seeking advice on the availability of various products, technologies and specific company enquiries. Many members also use the BFPA pavilion to hold business meetings and discussions involving several parties, due to the extra space available in the BFPA area or the opportunity to hold a meeting away from their own stands. It’s also a very welcome oasis for those seeking a break from staffing their own booths!
