Join the AFSSA Pilot Programme
We're partnering with a selected group of forward-thinking organisations as early adopters of the AFSSA framework — and to help shape the future of independent flooring safety assurance in the UK.
Why join the pilot
The AFSSA Pilot Programme is designed to deliver real value to early adopters while supporting the structured development of the framework ahead of wider national rollout.
Priority Access
Move to the front of the queue for assessor scheduling — with dedicated capacity reserved for pilot partners.
Pilot Pricing Opportunities
Preferential pilot pricing across single sites and multi-site estate programmes — only available during the pilot window.
Shape the Standard
Direct input into the future development of the AFSSA framework, reporting suite and certification pathway.
Structured Feedback Loop
Regular touchpoints with the AFSSA team to share what's working and influence framework refinements.
Limited Availability
The pilot is intentionally limited to a small group of organisations to ensure quality of engagement and feedback.
Early Adopter Position
Be recognised as one of the first organisations to engage with an emerging UK flooring safety framework.
A complete assurance package
Pilot partners receive the full AFSSA assurance package — exactly the same evidence-based framework that organisations will rely on at wider rollout.
- Independent on-site assessment by a competent AFSSA assessor
- Full evidence-based report with photographic findings and risk ratings
- Prioritised, repair-first recommendations across the four categories
- AFSSA Annual Certificate of Floor Safety Assurance (valid 12 months) on passing
- AFSSA Floor Safety Assurance Pack — practical year-round guidance
- AFSSA Concern & Repair Log for ongoing monitoring and due diligence
- Dedicated pilot programme support and feedback channel
