The British Compressed Air Society (BCAS) is a trade association in the United Kingdom. It was formed in 1930 and represents manufacturers, distributors and users of compressed air and vacuum equipment.
The BCAS plays a key role in setting standards and codes of practice within the industry. BCAS also lobbies the UK government on behalf of UK industry and business, e.g. to outlaw non-compliant products. It works with a range of organisations and government departments, including the Health and Safety Executive, standards agencies, and training initiatives.
