The Baby Products Association (BPA) was established in 1945. It was set up with the objectives of promoting the baby and nursery products sector in both the UK and Europe. Today we play an active role in the development of product standards and provide an umbrella of support and specialist services to our membership.
BPA members and member representatives sit on a large number of committees and working groups in CEN (Europe) and the BSI. Our Technical Committee is constructed of industry experts and specialists covering a wide range of baby and nursery products including wheeled goods, nursery furniture, baby walkers, soft goods, child restraints, toys and early learning.
Where no standards exist we are pre-emptive in our approach and will develop and produce a BPA Code of Practice.
We are the voice of the industry in the UK and it is our aim to provide our members with the comfort and assurance that we are there batting for them and the industry in general.
The Association manages and organises the Trade Fair 'BPA Baby & Child' which is the premier shop window for the baby products industry. The Fair is normally held in early October each year.
Members already benefit from very advantageous rates when exhibiting at the BPA Baby & Child and also discounts on technical publications and standards.There is also an ever increasing range of specialist services available to members at very advantageous members only rates.
The BPA actively encourages new product development and innovation in our industry, and we are now championing design awards called BPA Concept Awards which are presented annually at the BPA Baby & Child.
We also have a 'launch pad' for first time exhibitors at the same show. We believe it is important that our industry has a vibrant and proactive outlook on innovation and are determined that new products continue to come through and are developed with reference to the BPA and consequently meet all known safety standards.
