During 2010 significant progress has taken place in the Watermist industry. British Standard DD 8489 for Residential/Domestic Watermist Systems was published in November 2010, closely followed by British Standard DD 8458 for Industrial and Commercial Watermist Systems in February this year.
And now FIRAS Warrington has launched a Third Party Installer Scheme for Watermist Installers.
With all these watermist developments it is important for anyone who uses or works with watermist systems to fully understand what the developments are and how they affect you.
To that extent the Watermist Coordination Group, comprising of BAFSA and the FIA, has organised a one day seminar for installers and maintainers of watermist systems aimed at broadening your knowledge of these milestone developments.
