The BVAA Valve Working Group – the Association’s forum for technical and standardisations issues – met on 11th March 2015.The event was jointly hosted by Hardide Coatings at Bicester, and then later in the ‘Peter Churm Technical Centre’ at BVAA’s Banbury HQ

The morning featured a tour and highly informative presentation by Hardide on hardness coatings. The afternoon session was given over to discussing predominantly standards matters. One spin-out however was an agreement to form a number of ‘Technical Expert Groups.’

These will essentially be small, focussed and time-limited groups that will address specific technical topics. Designed to keep the membership up to date and well informed on technical matters, outcomes from these ‘TEGs’ could include Conference papers, technical ‘hot spots,’ formal guidelines, possibly even new Training Courses.

The first of these ‘TEGs’ covering Fire Testing is slated to meet on 22nd April at Score’s Brighouse facility. Assuming a successful launch BVAA will then roll out the other TEGs as soon as possible
