k) BFA WKSB
‘Deutsche Bauindustrie’ is a German branch
organization within the building & construction
industry. Part of this organization is the Bundes
Fach Abteilungen {(BFA) - ‘technical depart-
ments’} who are specialized in the technological
developments and lobby activities within a specific
area of technical expertise. One of them,
“BFA WKSB” {Bundes Fach Abteilung Wärme-,
Kälte-, Schall-und Brand Schutz}, represents the
branche members’ interests in industrial
insulation, acoustic insulation and fire proofing in
buildings. As well as lobbying towards the various
organizations and the German government, they
recommend best practices and provisions as
stated in the technical letters. These practices are
established in cooperation with DIN, AGI, CEN,
FESI and testing bodies like FIW. The most
important technical letters for hot insulation are
shown below.

l) FESI
FESI, Fédération Européenne des Syndicats
d’Entreprises d’Isolation is the European
Federation of Associations of Insulation
Companies. FESI was founded in 1970 and is the
independent European Federation representing the
insulation contracting sector. FESI promotes
insulation as one of the best, the most cost
effective and sustainable manners to save energy.
FESI represents the insulation associations from
16 European countries whose members are active
in insulation for industry, commercial building
sectors, ship insulation, soundproofing, fire
protection and others. The most important FESI
documents (guidelines, recommendations) are
shown below.
