International federation
of the Roofing trade
TOGETHER FOR
SUSTAINABLE BUILDING
The purpose of the International Federation of the Roofing Trade is to serve as a permanent bond between the members belonging to it, to study the common professional problems and to derive from them findings for individual members or the organization as a whole, and to safeguard and support the common national, business, professional, social, cultural and other professional interests of the members at the international level.
The IFD exchanges documentation related to the profession and issues statements on common issues.
It organizes international workshops and congresses and carries out – if possible in connection with this – a professional competition of young roofers (“world championship” according to its own implementation guidelines).
The IFD promotes young professionals, in particular vocational training and further education.
It participates in the preparation of technical standards, e.g. CEN, approvals, e.g. EOTA and other regulations for the roofing trade within the framework of European and international work.
The IFD undertakes and promotes research and studies on the professional profile of the roofing trade.
The IFD supports the development of the fields related to research and technology, as well as the construction and technology of roofs.
It publishes and disseminates literature on these subjects.
The IFD draws up its own recommendations, guidelines and leaflets for its members.
It cooperates with other international organisations, especially other craft organisations, in order to contribute to the improvement of the social and economic situation of the roofing trade on the basis of the social market economy.
