Dr David Sutton receives BFPA award in recognition of technical committee work

29 May 2018

Dr David (Dave) Sutton was presented with a special award during BFPA’s recent AGM on 16 May 2018, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to his work on BFPA’s technical committees by BFPA CEO Chris Buxton.

Dave is a member of BFPA/TC 16 Hydraulic Fluids technical committee and also sits on two international committees: ISO/TC 28/WG 12 and ISO/T 28/SC 4/WG 3.

During his time with TC16 he has been the authority on all matters associated with fluid filtration, although his experience with fluids of all types has enabled him to comment authoritatively on a wide range of fluid-related subjects. As a consequence of his experience he became the Project Leader for standards on filterability (ISO 13357 Parts 1 and 2) and a maintenance and use guide on Fire-resistant Hydraulic Fluids (ISO 7745).

His past experience with proof reading has been invaluable to the committee and he has often identified editorial errors and technical points that have passed the scrutiny of other readers both within the committee and also ISO/CS!

The fact that Dave continues to offer his services while retired is one for which the BFPA and the TC16 committee is extremely grateful. BFPA warmly congratulates Dr Sutton on winning this award.
