STOP PRESS !!! The changes have been rolled back and will no longer be applied !!
CHANGE NOTICE (March 2021) – On 3rd March 2021 FIAP have announced that the introduction of the changes to the FIAP Distinction Rules (published 4 weeks previously) are being postponed due to constitutional reasons and will not be introduced until they have been put before the next FIAP Congress, which will not take place until 2022 at the earliest. They have also extended the withdrawal of print acceptance requirements for AFIAP and EFIAP applicants for 2022.
This means that the old rules will remain in place for 2022 at least. In consequence of this there are the following issues that Exhibitors need to be aware of when planning to enter salons in the near future:
Applicants for EFIAP can use their AFIAP results towards meeting the requirements for EFIAP.
Applicants for EFIAP Bronze will NOT be able to use any results towards their application that were gained before the date on their EFIAP certificate, which for PAGB exhibitors is usually about 1st June each year.
For the time being there will be no EFIAP Diamond d4 or d5 distinctions.
