Criteria for membership

All members of LEIA are required to have ISO 9001 certification. The Association itself is certificated to ISO 9001. Most companies installing lifts now have ISO 9001 +, the plus sign demonstrating the additional technical assessment required to comply with The Lifts Regulations.

Note: All new lifts are required to carry the CE mark as an indication of compliance with The Lifts Regulations and the European Directive 95/16/EC.

Other requirements for membership include:-

• A minimum of three years registration under the Companies Act.
• Provision of three consecutive years of accounts.
• Submission of a written Company Safety Policy.
• Product and third party insurance cover of £5m (minimum).
• Three sponsors.

The objective of these requirements is to provide reassurance to customers when dealing with member companies.
