Strong support pledge from new PFA Chairman Jim Fleming, Managing Director of Poppers Senco UK Ltd, was appointed as Chairman of the Power Fastenings Association (PFA) at its recent Annual General Meeting.
The PFA represents the leading UK suppliers of pneumatically powered nailing and stapling equipment; collated fasteners and the fastening systems used widely in the woodworking and construction industries. Mr Fleming was quick to assure PFA members of the Association’s determination to ensure that the proposed new prEN 14592 fastener standard, at present being drafted by mainly European based organisations, would provide a fair and workable standard for UK suppliers and customers.
To this end, the PFA has already submitted objective proposals to the CEN Technical Standards committee. Similarly, the PFA is closely monitoring proposed revisions to EN 792-13 and other Health & Safety related issues for the benefit of its members, together with the industries and markets they serve.
