To this effect, the society engaged with other disciplines, industry bodies, such as CIBSE, RIBA, IstructE and CWCT, and government. The society also set up a specific SFE fire committee to respond to the various calls for evidence and activities related to the Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety, to provide guidance for SFE members on the emerging issues and resulting regulatory changes. It is also part of the ongoing work on professional competence and encourages all members to contribute to this work, either through the society and its committees, or independently. With nearly 1,700 international members at various grades, the SFE also wants to encourage students and affiliates to progress to full, corporate membership and benefit from free access to its technical evenings and document downloads. Due to interest in the UKs Manchester area and from Italy, the SFE Manchester region and SFE Italy have been launched.
