The Automotive Lift Institute’s Lift Inspector Certification Program has earned accreditation from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The accreditation means ALI’s program conforms to vehicle lift safety standards currently in place and all conformity assessment requirements for bodies certifying products, processes and services as defined in ISO/IEC 17065.
“Just as ALI’s Lift Inspector Certification Program provides independent qualification of an inspector’s abilities, ANSI accreditation serves as third-party verification that ALI meets the highest internationally recognized requirements for bodies certifying products, processes, and services. For those in the vehicle service and repair industry, the importance of ANSI accreditation is that it provides independent validation that the program’s content complies with ANSI/ALI ALOIM, the standard covering lift inspection, operation and maintenance,” said R.W. “Bob” O’Gorman, ALI president.
The ALI Lift Inspector Certification Program qualifies and certifies inspectors who demonstrate they can properly inspect any type of vehicle lift, ALI Lift said. Since it was launched in 2012, more than 350 individuals have earned a certification.
This is the second ALI initiative to be accredited by ANSI.
