Who are the BFRC?

BFRC stands for British Fenestration Rating Council. It was original established in 1999 with assistance from Government and the major fenestration Trade Associations as part of a research project to develop a Window Energy Rating scheme for the UK. BFRC Ltd was established in 2006, to take over and further develop the activities of the original BFRC.

BFRC Ltd. is part of the Glass and Glazing Federation (the largest trade association for the glazing and fenestration sector in the UK).

The GGF have invested in the development of the scheme to enable it to respond to the growing needs of the market, government and environmental bodies for the promotion, development and operation of an independent impartial method of rating the energy efficiency of windows and hence encouraging their use.
