EABS Membership

What are the advantages of being an EABS Member?

  1. Direct access to an active focal point of unrivalled expertise in brazing and soldering technology in the U.K. that has close ties with comparable organisations both in mainland Europe and North America.
  2. Because EABS has representation on International Standardisation Committees that are concerned with brazing and soldering, members have the opportunity to comment on work being done by those committees.
  3. Two Newsletters each year that provide up-to-the minute information on what is happening in the Brazing and Soldering ‘world’.
  4. Access to the EABS Technical Library. The library is accessed via a personal password. Members can download any of the documents in the library that are of interest.
  5. A commercially impartial technical advice service!
  6. Reduced participation fees at Conferences, Seminars, and technical training days that have been organised by EABS.
  7. The opportunity to be either a Corporate- or Personal-Member of the Association

The technical package that EABS provides is divided into three discrete areas:

1.Technical advice

EABS provides telephone comment, and answers questions on a wide range of brazing and soldering topics. Access to this service is via the EABS Secretariat. Technical consultants with many years practical experience in brazing and soldering technology have also been retained by the Association to visit companies to discuss specific technical problems with them on a face-to-face basis. Following the visit an essential part of the work of the consultant is the provision of a written Report on the matter under discussion; such Reports make detailed recommendations concerning how the problem can be resolved.
There is a modest charge for the ‘on-site’ visit service.

2. Technical training

EABS offers two types of technical training courses on an ‘open-to-all’ basis:
• Those that contain at least 50% of ‘hands-on’ practical experience
• Those that deal with the basic theory of the aspects of the subject of the course

3. ‘Tailor-made’ courses

It is increasingly the case that EABS is asked by members and non-members alike to present a course as part of an ‘in-house’ training programme. In these situations the EABS consultant who is to present the course will visit the company and agree its content with the Training Officer of the company concerned. The advantage to the commissioning company is obvious: they receive up-to-the-minute impartial ‘best practice’ advice that is commercially neutral! The increasing popularity of these courses is accounted for by the fact that such events ensure that the commissioning company receives a training programme that specifically relates to their brazing processes, and at a relatively modest cost.
