The BPMA has recently adopted a ‘Buy with confidence from a BPMA Member’ ethos based on the BPMA’s Code of Conduct, which applies to each member company

The BPMA seeks to represent Members that demonstrate the highest degree of professionalism, expertise and ethical standards in every aspect of their operations, including the safety, reliability, quality and support of their products, as well as the competence of their employees and representatives.

Each Member is therefore expected to abide by this Code of Conduct, which is designed to assure users, specifiers and purchasers of pumping equipment that they can ‘Buy with confidence’ from a BPMA Member.

A comprehensive range of undertakings form the Code of Conduct, the full details of which can be found on the BPMA website – www.bpma.org.uk, but in essence they cover the following key areas:

Products and Technical Standards	Spare Parts
CE Marking	Representatives
Product Performance	Sales Assurance
Quality Assurance	Operating Instructions
Energy & Environment	Employees
Intellectual Property	Customer Complaints
Installation	Supplier information
After Sales Support	Product information
Service and Maintenance	Supporting BPMA and its Policies

BPMA members account for approximately 85% of the £1 billion plus UK market for liquid pumping equipment, and is made up of a wide range of companies – large, medium and small. Each one is bound by this Code of Conduct, so for anyone looking to purchase and install pumps and related equipment, they can ‘buy with confidence’ from any BPMA member company.
