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: 

“Treating structural wood boring insects is a highly specialist activity. 

“We’ve worked closely with members to produce this Code to help members stay on the right side of the law and keep customers safe”.
