​History

 

BAFEP is the trade association for producers of Bach Flower Remedies and other types of Essences, both in the UK/EU and beyond. It sets and maintains standards of production, labelling and advertising in accordance with the guidelines as laid down by various UK governmental agencies.

BAFEP also keeps abreast of the ever-changing politics within both the UK and EU that concern essences both now and in the future. For the general public BAFEP provides a listing of over 60 essence producers (including 8 who produce Bach Flower Remedy ranges according to the traditional instructions laid down by Dr Edward Bach) who abide by BAFEP standards and are entitled to use the BAFEP logo in their literature and labelling.

​

BAFEP welcomes non-UK/EU members, on condition that they meet the essence production and labelling requirements of their country and should their essences be imported into the UK/EU, their labelling and literature also meet UK/EU requirements.

BAFEP produces a guideline booklet about labelling, literature, Health & Safety etc. Free on application for contact details, view the contact page.

 

AIMS:

  1. To represent the interests of essence producers.

  2. To set and maintain standards.

  3. To represent producers interests to other parties and to be a consultative body for advice.
