Evac+Chair Distributors NZ Ltd. are New Zealand's sole suppliers of Evac+Chair. Our chairs are manufactured in Birmingham UK or under license in Johannesburg SA. Beware of copies without ISO or BSI certification. Evac+Chair is the only evacuation chair on the market which meets the Medical Devices Regulations EU 2017/745, Quality Management ISO 9001 and Medical Device Quality Management ISO 13485. Here in New Zealand Evac+Chair is the only evacuation chair approved by the New Zealand Safety Council (NZSC).

Accreditation: Ask if the evacuation chair is registered with the MHRA (Medical & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency) as a Medical Device Class I. After all, this is a life-safety product and someone's life may depend on it. Some copies have even used Evac+Chair colours but do not carry manufacturer's details.
