Our goals
The main purpose of the Association is to make the built environment totally accessible, by promoting the quality and safety of equipment and services related to elevators, freight lifts, escalators, passenger conveyers and associated systems, manufactured, installed or maintained in the enlarged European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Area (EFTA or European Economic Area). The Association serves the public in safe and uninterrupted usage of such equipment.
The Association groups individual companies that are committing themselves to that very purpose. The Association is conceived as the contact platform where members can meet and learn about new European developments through international conventions, conferences and meetings. The Association presently has more than 70 members. It is an active member of the European Lift Association that regroups most European associations, active in the world of lifts, escalators and moving walks in Europe and in the EFTA (European Free Trade Area or European Economic Area).
In order to accomplish its purpose, the activities of EEA include:
- Representing its members vis-à-vis all public or private, national, EU or international organisations dealing directly or indirectly with issues on quality of materials and services.
- Participating in the elaboration of standards together with national, EU or international organisations responsible for defining such standards.
- Participating in all dialogues with any public or private institutions concerning problems that may arise in its field.
- Defining minimum qualification standards and adopting certification procedures.
- Supervising standards, regulations, instructions or other notifications.
- Promoting information for, and continuing training of, installation, set-up and maintenance personnel.
- Following developments at EU level that affect or are of interest to the members of the Grouping and informing such members of the same.
All the foregoing activities take place within the Member States of the European Union or EFTA. The enlarged European Union has more than 4 million lifts in service.
