CBRN-UK – UK Industry’s Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defence Special Interest Group
CBRN-UK is a Special Interest Group and operates under the auspices of A|D|S. CBRN-UK represents the interests of its members to UK Government Departments, Overseas Governments and other organisations concerned with their sector of business.
In particular, CBRN-UK provides:
- A reference point to which UK Government departments can turn to when seeking an industrial view when formulating policy in the CBRN field and a focal point for industry to use to represent its views to HMG.
- A co-ordinating centre that communicates with overseas governments and organisations concerned with CBRN equipment or service area and which HMG can utilise to host incoming delegations..
- A forum in which members and observers can discuss, in confidence, CBRN issues of mutual interest.
- An opportunity for members to participate in shared marketing activities, eg. exhibitions
- Opportunities for informed speakers to address members on current and appropriate issues concerned with the CBRN environment.
New Members are welcome as long as they comply with the rules of the organisation:
