Belgian Sign Organisation

Since 1985 the profession of sign manufacturer / installer is legally protected in Belgium. That means that a company must comply with a series of requirements in order to be allowed to enter the profession. Belgian Sign is the organization of the associated members. B.S.O. participates in ESF, the European Sign Federation, and ISA, the International Sign Association.

Function:

There are monthly board meetings in Brussels and there is an Annual General Assembly.

The organization supports the profession and checks its correct implementation. More support is offered to the members.
