European Standard Parking Award
In order to improve the image of parking in multi-storey car parks, the European Parking Association has instituted a European Standard for safety and customer friendliness in car parks. The Standard has been revised by an international EPA task group in the year 2009/2010 and contains guidelines and a score sheet for: • lighting and reflective surfaces • vehicular entry/exit • parking areas • pedestrian routes • lifts • stairwells • security • maintenance and several other items. The European Standard Parking Award can be obtained by car parks owned or operated and that gain a required minimum of points on the score sheet. Application forms are available at the EPA or can be downloaded below from this website. The national Parking Association will present the Award in the name of EPA and will reclaim the plaquette if the awarded car park is not conform to the requirements anymore. Plaquettes are obtainable from the EPA office in Cologne. They are made from acryl glass, measurements are 39,5 cm by 29,5 cm. Price: 90,00 EUR a piece incl. shipping costs.
