Euralarm opens up doors for Associate Members
50 years after our founding Europe is in a time of change, new technologies, digitization, new standards and regulations will move us in a new era. Life safety and security for European citizens at home, work or travel throughout Europe are key for our future. The fire safety and security industry have an important role in keeping Europe a safe place to live. To support our work a broad representation of the stakeholders who support a safe and secure society ensures that Euralarm can contribute to make Europe the best and safest place to live.
Euralarm provides leadership for the fire safety, security and extinguishing industry, and expertise for policy makers and standardisation bodies. The European association supports pro-actively a Single European Market strategy for the sector. As part of that strategy and as the only trade association in the sector Euralarm has a local team in Brussels Until now the membership of Euralarm was open for national associations and companies who want to tap into the political expertise of Euralarm and understand how EU and local policy is impacting the fire safety and security industry, its markets and the European citizens.
Euralarm calls stakeholders who want to contribute the move to the next era to join their organization. Stakeholders include research organisations, certification bodies, associations, insurance companies and consumer organizations.
The associate membership allows companies to make personal connections with technical and political experts, share expertise on standardisation and be heard and influence standardisation and legislative processes. Stakeholders that are interested in an associate membership will stay in touch with the latest trends in regulation and technology and have directly access to a repository of Euralarm documentation produced by Euralarm members and its professional team. Associate members are also welcome to network with industry experts during the annual Euralarm Symposium and other expert events.
An associate member has an observer status and therefore has no voting rights or rights to chair a section or committee. Associate members have the right to participate to the activities of the association and its sections and have access to relevant section and cross-sectional information.
