China has become the latest country to join the International Access and Scaffolding Association (IASA), following the China Formwork and Scaffold Association’s decision to become a member of the global body.

The move brings the China Formwork and Scaffold Association (CFSA) into IASA’s growing international membership, further extending the organisation’s reach into Asia.

CFSA is a national industry association representing China’s formwork, scaffolding and related construction engineering sectors. The association is involved in the development of technical standards, safety improvement, innovation and the wider sustainability of the sector across the country.

IASA said the addition reflects its continued focus on expanding global membership and strengthening links between regional and international industry bodies.

An IASA representative said, “IASA is delighted to welcome the China Formwork and Scaffold Association as a member. CFSA’s experience and perspective will add significant value to our international network.”

The association added that it expects close cooperation between IASA and CFSA, with a focus on sharing knowledge, exchanging best practice and supporting the development of safe and efficient access and scaffolding solutions worldwide.

The International Access and Scaffolding Association has said it views international collaboration as central to improving standards and consistency across the global access and scaffolding industry.
