The 2nd Asia-Oceania Symposium on Fire Safety Materials Science and Engineering (AOFSM’2) took place in Shenzhen, China on October 27-29, 2017. The symposium was organized by the Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) and the Asia-Oceania Association for Fire Safety Materials Science and Engineering, The China Flame Retardant Society and the National Engineering Research Center of Flame Retardant Materials. The global symposium had the support from BSEF \u2013 The International Bromine Council.
\n
\n
Gathering more than 250 participants, the symposium invited international renowned experts. Scholars presented the latest academic progress and engineering applications in the field of fire safety materials.
\nThe major topics covered during the 3 days\u2019 event were new developments in flame-retardant materials, flame retardants, fire protection of materials and components. The symposium also talked about their applications in transportation, construction, electrical engineering and electronics.

2nd Asia-Oceania Symposium on Fire Safety Materials 2
\n
\n
BSEF – together with The China Flame Retardant Society – organized a half day Seminar, which gave an excellent overview of the current status and future developments in flame-retardant materials and technologies. We included a presentation on the polymeric FR as an alternative to HBCD. The BSEF seminar, chaired by Dr. J\u00fcrgen Troitzsched, counted with presentations from:

\n
In addition, the symposium counted with 9 plenary sessions, 25 keynote lectures, 35 oral presentations and more than 42 posters presentations. These all covered the advances in fire safety regulations, methods and standards for testing fire behavior, smoke and toxicity of materials and components.
