ACFSE - The First 10 Years

ABOUT US

ACFSE is a non-profit organisation established under UK law. Burson - Marsteller Brussels functions as the secretariat to ACFSE. In this role it also provides support and assistance to the ACFSE campaigns.

ACFSE MISSION

  • Educate consumers as to the potential hazards of fire in the home, and highlight practical steps that can be taken to minimise such fire risk.
  • Raise awareness of fire safety in consumer products among manufacturers and decision makers.
  • Advocate effective fire prevention levels for consumer products such as upholstered furniture and television sets.
  • Advocate effective standards of fire safety in consumer services such as transportation, travel and accommodation.
  • Maintain an overview of the causes and effects of domestic fires, and promote the development of detailed and compatible fire statistics across Europe.

ACFSE FUNDING

Financial support for the ACFSE is welcome from all stakeholders in consumer fire safety. Currently ACFSE receives financial support from the European Flame Retardants Association (EFRA) which represents all existing flame retardant technologies.
