Accessible Recognition Scheme
Accessible Certification Program
The "barrier-free" environment is an important indicator of a civilized city, and it is equally important everywhere. It respects everyone’s basic rights and also represents inclusiveness and equality between people. The restriction to label anyone, so that everyone can live in the same comfortable and secure place. The barrier-free environment is composed of two aspects. The external aspects include places to go out, transportation, and living facilities, and more importantly, mutual respect, tolerance, harmony and equality between people.
This certification program aims to help all walks of life discover new opportunities in the barrier-free market, promote a friendly environment in Hong Kong, the Mainland and the world, promote the concept of barrier-free living, and promote the development of unobstructed and accessible outings and tourism, and create Barrier-free society.
The goal of the Accessibility Certification Program is to affirm organizations that provide accessible facilities and accessibility services; organizations that pass the relevant assessment requirements will be issued accessibility certificates and labels.
