Testing of Mobility Aids and Stairlifts



Mobility aids play a vital role in helping disabled people and the elderly to live their lives more independently, and can reduce the risk of injury or accident related to restricted mobility. It is therefore essential that equipment designed for this purpose should not introduce additional safety hazards.

At Cranage, we work with manufacturers of this technology, assisting to evaluate their products for adherence to British, European and International Standards, providing independent and impartial testing facilities for demonstrating safety, reliability and performance. We test mechanical safety, EMC and electrical safety and also work with manufacturers to assess user manuals.
