Chris, I tried going in a supermarket recently, but couldnt find anyone to take my shopping list and go and fetch thinks like when my mum used to go to the coop when I was a kid. I wont be going back to one whether it is tescos or sainsburys so as far as I am concerned thay can amalgamate them all. Where did the shop asistants all go.

Benz when we looked at joining LPCB about 8 years ago it was going to cost around £20k just to join.

I was told recently that since it came in there are still less than 100 LPS1014 certificates ever been issued.....!!

The joining fee alone made it good sense to join the BAFE scheme.....!!

So the main issue of their differences, is the joining fee then? :)

It's in fact lots of issues..., which are not obvious; fire industry is not really yet dealing with high tech! And who knows if it will remain in the same trend or take other directives..., it occupies actually an important part of the UK’s economy, due to the legislation which is strongly backing it, main while so many institutions have been set up while in fact they are doing the same thing and every one says, ‘I have better cooking beans’.

While it should be one single institution dealing with standard’s matters and audit for their applications..., some see it as competition..., other would like BS to remain published such as a legislations books, instead of more technical data books, illustrating information in more technical ways with diagrams, figures, tables..., just like in any other disciplines...etc!

What about the registration issue, why should it be a third party to assess a company, in fact the third party read the same print out of BS, exactly the way a non-literate read it, certainly it's the issue of interpretations too, but why should a company follow some one else interpretation, and on what basis?

And … and … and … will never end!
