The Firefighting Agents section – FFA sees itself as the European representation of the fire protection industry in Europe and deals with all aspects in connection with research, development, production and application of extinguishing agents such as foams, wetting agents, powders, extinguishing gases, etc. (except water).
European regulations for hazardous chemicals
While everyone is looking for an ecological firefighting foam, nobody seems to know what qualifies a fire fighting agent as ecological. Instead of waiting for an authority to provide a definition that the market should adopt, we should discuss and agree on a strategy of sowing seeds at the European level and developing an official definition of “green” (e.g. acute vs persistent toxicity; heavy metal test for soils yes/no?).
Fluorine-containing chemicals in extinguishing foam:
The good, the bad and the evil:
Labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures
The FFA is the professional organization for all matters concerning the use of firefighting agents and the mouthpiece of the European fire protection industry. The FFA bundles, broadens and communicates the expert knowledge of its members on extinguishing agents and their application by promoting research and development, as well as exchange with other organizations and interested parties (e.g. the chemical and petrochemical industry).
It is the aim of the Eurofeu FFA:
