Fire Extinguishing Trades Association
The Fire Extinguishing Trades Association was "the Trade Association of manufacturers and maintainers of portable fire fighting equipment".
It was "Established in 1916 a non-profit making organisation funded by membership subscription" whose objective was to "uphold and enhance the professional status of the Fire Protection Industry by encouraging the adoption of improved standards for product, service and quality management systems and promoting greater use of high quality products and services to the benefit of all".
It merged with the British Fire Protection Systems Association in April 2007 to form a single large trade association, the Fire Industry Association.
