Kelsall, who appointed your very good friends Warrington, with whom you seem to enjoy a close association ( a bit like yon chap Eli did- whatever happened to him?) and IFCC as the "main" certification bodies? No doubt they have their own reasons for not wishing to run BAFE SP 205, but I very much doubt that it is anything as altrusitic as worry about the standard of the scheme!!!!! Get real.
As far the industry not being able to agree, they HAVE agreed on BAFE SP 205. It was drafted by the FIA-lest you be unaware that stands for fire INDUSTRY association. It represents about 500 firms in the fire INDUSTRY. You will also be aware that BAFE Council comprises CFOA, BRE, FIA, IFEDA, BFC, NSI, SSAIB, ECA and NICEIC (apologies to any ohter good and honourable people I have missed). I think that represents more of an industry consensus than those certification bodies that, for whatever reason, you seem to have some sort of allegiance. As far as NSI making a lot of money as you allege, they are non profit making and have no private shareholders to keep happy. I think that this demonstrates an overwhleming indusry consensus. Whether 3 CBs choose to run it or not is up to them. There will be plenty of CBs who do run it, and plenty of FRA companies who want certification under it.
Tam, SP 203-2 is on the BAFE website, so I imagine that, when SP 205-1 goes on so will SP 205-2.
