A BPCA Code is a set of written rules which explains how people working in our industry should behave in a particular situation. Members must abide by Codes of Best Practice in their day-to-day work.

BPCA Technical Compliance Manager, Natalie Bungay, said: 

“Drainage inspections, fogging and ULV treatments are all specialist technical activities. 

"Members have been requesting best practice codes for these subjects, so we worked closely with a group of member volunteers to produce documents which will help them stay on the right side of the law, be the best professionals we can be and keep customers safe."

BPCA Codes of Best Practice are freely available to download.
