European Association for Passive Fire Protection

The European Association for Passive Fire Protection (EAPFP) was established in 1988 to represent national associations across Europe engaged in the manufacture, contracting, and institution sectors involved in passive fire protection (PFP) of steelwork, timber, penetration seals, and ductwork. The EAPFP aims to serve as a unified European voice advocating for the use of effective, reliable passive fire protection products that ensure declared fire safety performance when properly installed. Its mission emphasizes raising standards in fire safety through education, market development, and clear interpretation of European legislation and

The EAPFP also facilitates communication and cooperation between members, offering guidance via publications, position papers, and multilingual resources. Members convene twice yearly to exchange best practices and address industry concerns. The association maintains active involvement in European technical committees responsible for developing product standards to promote harmonization. Through collaboration with entities such as the European Organisation for Fire Testing Laboratories (EGOLF), the EAPFP guarantees that fire protection measures are tested and regulated to a high standard.

With a membership base spanning 13 countries including Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK, the EAPFP represents close to 2,000 individual members. This extensive network fortifies its role as a key influencer within the passive fire protection sector, advocating to ensure building owners have access to compliant and dependable fire protection products that save lives and protect property. Through its activities, the EAPFP contributes significantly to the improvement of fire safety regulations, market compliance, and stakeholder education throughout Europe.
