The European Association for Passive Fire Protection (EAPFP) launched a new business strategy and appointed a new board of principal officers as its general meeting in Antwerp.
Miroslav Smolka, of the Slovak Association for Passive Fire Pro- tection (APPO) has been appointed as president for the next two years, taking over from Joric Witlox of Brandveilig Bouwen Nederland (BBN), the Association of Fireproof Building Netherlands, who held the position from 2016-18.
Niall Rowan of the Association for Specialist Fire Protection (ASFP) in the UK takes on the role of vice-pres- ident. This completes the board which comprises President, Vice President and Immediate Past President. Past President Vincente Mans stood down from the Board having served his full term.
Part of the ongoing maintenance at Tedworth House required 400m2 of reclaimed paving, located outside the Hero Cafe, to be cleaned and repointed. The project was completed using UltraScape flowpoint rapid set grout, which was kindly donated by UK manufacturer, Instarmac Group plc.

Two new technical officers - Andrew Taylor of the UK and Kees Both of the Netherlands - were also appointed to assist the Board.
During his time as president, Mr Smolka’s aim is to further raise the profile of the Association, as it continues to develop awareness and understanding of the vital role that compartmentation and passive fire protection plays in the event of a fire.
The EAPFP’s new strategy highlights two key areas of operation for the Association: to help implement, influence and promote the use of European legislation and standards; and to inform, educate and promote the use of good and properly installed products. Key to this strategy will be a campaign to highlight the impor- tance of ensuring the competence of installers.

Speaking at the meeting, Mr Smolka said: “I would like to thank both Joric Witlox and Vincente Mans for their ex- tensive work and clear commitment to the EAPFP over many years. They leave the Association in a very strong position for the future and I look for- ward to building on the strategy that they have helped to form.
“Since its formation in 1988, the EAPFP has campaigned successfully within the European Commission to improve European test and product standards for a variety of passive fire protection products. At this time of change in the European regula- tory and advocacy landscape the Association will continue to promote standards that guarantee a high degree of fire safety.
“It is also clear that the quality of installation is now a key concern if we are to ensure that products can achieve the levels of performance for which they are designed. As a result, a major focus for the Association will be to campaign to improve installer training and qualification across Eu- rope to ensure that installers are able to demonstrate their competency.
“The Association is in a strong posi- tion to influence policy across Europe. By working through our network of national fire protection associations we are able to share best practice and work to ensure that European stand- ards and rules are properly linked to local building and fire codes.”
developed over a number of years to provide a durable finish which will not crack or stain - even when applied in cold and hot temperatures.
Ideal for large scale projects, UltraScape flowpoint is available in three varieties and two colours - Charcoal and Natural Grey - the second of which was used at Tedworth House.
With an initial set after just 15 minutes and a walk on time of one hour, it is unsurprising that UltraScape flowpoint has become synonymous with fast application, cost-effective and robust jointing.
The durable nature of UltraScape flowpoint will allow the residents of Tedworth House to enjoy the tranquil and relaxing atmosphere of the Hero Cafe for many years to come.
