International Powered Access Federation

The IPAF PAL Card

A Powered Access Licence Card issued by IPAF carries all the key facts that people need to know. It states who the person is and what equipment they are trained to operate.

The answer isn't simply in-house training. EC legislation not only demands that all operators of powered access equipment are properly trained, but that training is carried out by a competent organisation. You have to be able to prove that they have reached the required standards.

The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) was formed in 1983 to represent the whole of the industry, from manufacturing, distribution and rental trades to associate businesses and users of all forms of powered access equipment.
