Frequently asked question

"What does an EU national authority have to do if it wants to restrict the supply of any product?"

ANSWER

If national authorities do not accept that a legitimately CE-marked lifting platform or stairlift is safe to use they have to file a Safeguard Clause and contact the European Commission and the manufacturer, stating in writing the legal reasons why they have stopped this product from being supplied and installed.
