The FCOGP is “open for business” The companies that have supported the creation of the scheme and indeed have test driven the scheme through the first independent audits will be allowed to use Fretwork logo to describe their commitment to the principles of the scheme. We are now looking to extend the membership of the scheme.

The scheme has 2 basic components: audit to establish that firms possess the ability to produce consistent and reliable results and the sanction of denial of membership to any company that fails to maintain the standards set. The scheme will have teeth.

Work is already in hand to increase the scope of the scheme with sections to deal with the critical issues such as the choice of chemistry and any potential environmental impacts. Most of all we are looking to establish that we have listened to concerns expressed during the FFR Review process and have the resolve to deal with those issues.

If you have any questions about the scheme and want more information,please call or email Peter Wragg.
