The European Platforms and Stairlifts Association Consortium Limited represents the interests of companies engaged in the platforms and stairlifts industry within the European Union. As a specialized industry consortium, it focuses on advocating for policies that promote innovation, safety standards, and regulatory clarity in the mobility aids and platform lift sectors. Since its inception, the consortium has been dedicated to fostering collaboration between manufacturers, suppliers, and policy makers to ensure that European regulations facilitate accessibility, promote technological advancement, and uphold high environmental and safety standards. The consortium engages in lobbying activities primarily at the European Commission and European Parliament levels to influence legislation related to product safety, market harmonization, accessibility directives, and sustainability goals. Its approach typically combines direct engagement with EU policymakers, coalition building with allied industry and accessibility organizations, and public relations campaigns to enhance awareness of the benefits and needs of stairlift and platform solutions in aging societies.
