ARS Foundation
Fundación para la Accesibilidad y la Responsabilidad Social is a private, non-profit organization that has been developing social projects and initiatives for more than 40 years.
Our mission is to promote the integration of all people into society while respecting and valuing differences.
Our areas of activity
R&D&I
Oriented to the standardization and generation of accessibility certification standards.
The result of years of research is the certification standards that the Foundation has created and is constantly improving:
Research
In collaboration with designers and manufacturers, supporting their initiatives to make the generation of accessible products and services viable.
The objective of the research carried out by the ARS Foundation is to respond to the needs in the field of accessible solutions, as well as to ensure that the AIS System responds to the global casuistry of projects and typologies of existing environments, services and products.
To this end, the Foundation signs collaboration and research agreements with leading entities that manufacture or develop products that have a substantial impact on accessibility, such as elevation products, accessible signage, access control and management systems, furniture, etc. …..
Consulting
Encourage, promote and supervise the entities that carry out consulting services and implementation of the AIS System Standards.
The Foundation establishes relationships with companies and entities with the capacity to implement the Standards and thus focuses its efforts on increasing the number of AIS (Accessibility Indicator System) Pre-qualifications and Certifications, contributing to create a fairer and more egalitarian society for all, standardizing and harmonizing accessibility.
The opening of the system began in 2018, with the aim of making available to society a set of prepared and approved technicians belonging to independent authorized companies, thus providing AIS Certification with greater development and transparency.
Training
For Approved Technicians.
Fundación ARS offers Basic Approximation to the Standard courses and Approved Technician Programs, and offers a continuous improvement plan for Approved Technicians, the only professionals authorized to implement the AIS System.
