PFP Division Secures BSA Accreditation

Light Science Technologies Holdings plc (AIM: LST), the innovative technology and manufacturing business, announces that its Passive Fire Protection ("PFP") division has achieved Building Safety Act 2022 ("BSA") Accreditation via Construction Online, a leading European platform for compliance and supply chain management in the construction sector.

Construction Online has only recently launched its BS 8670 accreditation process, designed to streamline supplier pre-qualification and help unblock delays across the construction supply chain. By completing this process, the Company's PFP division has demonstrated full competence in both Standard Construction and Higher Risk Buildings (over 18 metres), aligning with the requirements of BS 8670.

Already a holder of Gold Accreditation, the Company's additional certifications further validate its expertise across safety leadership, risk management, and fire/life protection, providing confidence to both the Building Safety Regulator and customers.

Strong Growth Pipeline

As the UK's leading independent approved installer of Injectaclad, the PFP division has rapidly established itself since launching in November 2023. In that time, it has delivered work on 16 buildings, secured £3.2 million in orders and built a quoted pipeline of approximately £28 million. With active projects in Manchester, Southampton and Birmingham, the PFP division is well positioned to capitalise on rising demand as the Building Safety Regulator addresses the well-publicised industry backlogs.

Simon Deacon, CEO of Light Science, commented:

"These accreditations reinforce our ability to deliver safe, compliant solutions for our customers. With Construction Online's new BSA accreditation streamlining the pre-qualification process, we are helping to speed up supply chain approvals and reduce delays across the industry. As the sector adapts to the new regulations, our PFP division is ready to move quickly, supporting contractors and unlocking projects. We believe that these accreditations will simplify processes for existing and potential customers and the PFP division is primed for rapid and sustained growth.

"As such, this recognition will support further contract wins and partnerships, cementing our position as a trusted leader in passive fire protection."

LSTH IFB offers a practical and cost-effective solution to rectify non-compliant public and private buildings, spanning residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, with regard to fire safety regulations - a challenge addressed by a £6.1 billion allocation from the UK government. Serving as the UK's premier independent approved installer, LSTH IFB utilises the ground-breaking Injectaclad fire-resistant graphite barrier system. This system is retroactively installed within building cavities, reinstating fire-resistant performance and containing the spread of fire and smoke compliant with regulatory requirements. This innovative solution stands out as an appealing alternative to the more costly and disruptive method of removing external facades and installing traditional fire barriers. With a proven track record in the passive fire protection market and a robust sales pipeline, LSTH IFB targets a UK market potentially valued at up to £50 billion*.
