NATIONAL NEWS (WESTMINSTER, Colo.) — The Kiosk Association (KMA) has announced the appointment of Matthijs Verhagen, European Sales Manager at Storm Interface, as Co-Chair of its Accessibility Committee. Verhagen joins Michael O’Hare (TFA Consulting) and Oscar Rozo (LG Electronics) to lead the committee at a critical inflection point for the self-service industry.
With enforcement timelines accelerating for the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and new U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Section 504 requirements, operators and manufacturers face increasing pressure to align deployed systems with evolving accessibility mandates.
The KMA Accessibility Committee represents more than 100 member companies spanning kiosk hardware, software, payments, and field services-including industry leaders such as Intel, Olea Kiosks, KIOSK Information Systems, and Pyramid Computer.
Unlike policy-driven working groups, the committee is focused on deployment-scale execution-translating regulatory requirements into practical, field-tested standards that can be implemented across thousands of deployed systems.

The Kiosk Association is a global organization dedicated to advancing best practices in self-service technology. Operating under The Industry Group (TIG), KMA provides leadership in accessibility, security, and lifecycle design for kiosks, digital signage, and point-of-sale systems.
