In support of our aim to encourage ‘best practice’ amongst manufacturers and service providers across all areas of the contract furnishing sector, the BCFA have introduced a new Product Accreditation Scheme.

As an extension to the association’s established annual Product Awards, the new scheme is open to submissions from BCFA members all year round. Selected products or services will be identifiable by a formal ‘BCFA-Accredited’ brand stressing the link between excellence in design, in manufacture and in performance and hence fostering the confidence of buyers and specifiers.

In order to qualify for BCFA accreditation, candidate products need to meet relevant requirements relating to research, design creativity, development and engineering, together with manufacturing standards, pre-and after-sales service and performance.

Applications for BCFA accreditation may be submitted at any time, with the assessment process taking no longer than two weeks.
