BFPA Technical Standards Update
27 Nov 2020
Autumn is as usual a very busy time for BFPA’s Technical Department and Committees and 2020 was no different, despite Covid, with ISO meetings taking place virtually in October this year – more on this to follow in our December newsletter. For the moment here is an update of the current work being undertaken by BFPA’s Technical Committees:
