BM TRADA has a long history and heritage that we are justifiably proud of and we
can trace our origins back over 80 years to 1934. We are a global testing,
inspection and certification company that delivers critical services in
materials testing, product qualification testing, inspection and certification
to the Fire and Building Products marketplace, where failure in service is
simply not an option. Everything BM TRADA does is designed to help our customers
to develop better products and processes; get their products to market on time;
save time and money; and minimize the risk associated with product and process
development as well as product production. Our purpose as a business is a simple
one. To help our customers to make certain that all of the materials, products
and processes we test, inspect and certify for them, regardless of the industry
sectors they operate in, are always safe in their end application; are of
marketable quality; are compliant with all relevant standards and industry
regulations; and are ultimately fit for purpose. In 1934, a forerunner of what
later became the Timber Research and Development Association (TRADA) was set up,
its mission, to promote the use of wood in construction in the face of a growth
in the use of alternative materials. 60 years later in the mid 1990s and
following a management buyout of TRADA’s operating companies, the testing,
inspection and certification services were grouped together under the three
brands, BM TRADA Certification, Chiltern International Fire and TRADA
Technology.
