British Coatings Federation Wins Industry Leadership Award
LONDON - The British Coatings Federation (BCF) picked up a third major award in 2017, winning the Industry Leadership award at the fourth British Standards Institution’s (BSI) Awards. As described in the BSI’s citation, “This award recognizes exceptional support for standards-making by a trade association or professional body or an individual company. The recipient will have demonstrated how they have supported and enabled committee members to actively participate in standards-making and how, as an organization, they have constructively engaged in standards-making and supported the benefits of using standards.”
BCF members have actively been involved with standards development for many years, and most recently contributed to BS EN 16623:2015, BS 8001:2017, the recent revision of BS EN ISO 12944 and the current work on BS 6150. BCF members are also taking the lead in reviving a key committee associated with aerospace coatings standards development, in particular in order to meet the key challenges arising from the REACH authorization of chromate pigments.
