認識台灣消費者保護協會

「社團法人台灣消費者保護協會」（以下簡稱「台灣消保協會」）是一個非營利、非政府的民間公益社團組織。成立於1994年10月2日，「台灣消保協會」會址設於高雄，成立宗旨主要是要保障消費者權益、提升消費者地位和推廣消費者認知智識教育。本來成立當初的名稱是「中華民國消費者保護協會」，因為名稱有所重複，所以於2003年3月1日經內政部核准更名為「台灣消費者保護協會」，自此，「台灣消保協會」為消費者權益運動展開新的里程，而且榮獲行政院所頒佈兩家的「全國性優良消費者保護團體」之一，依照「消費者保護法」，可以代為提起團體訴訟(20個人或以上），能為更多、更廣的消費者提供服務。
 
About Consumer Protection Association in Taiwan
 
       Officially founded on October 2, 1994 and based in Kaohsiung City, Consumer Protection Association in Taiwan (CPAT) is a non-profit, non-governmental civil organization, whose objectives are toprotect consumer rights and Interests, to enhance consumer’s status, and to promote “consumer awareness” education. The original designation, when first founded, was Consumer Protection Association in Republic of China; however, it was later changed to the current CPAT in March 2003 due to the fact that the same very name had been simultaneously used by two different associations. Since then, the CPAT, a substitute name ratified by the Ministry of the Interior, has set for a new milestone for a consumer rights movement. Through endless efforts and dedications, the CPAT has hence become one of the two nationally-acclaimed consumer advocacy associations that have a rating of excellence by the Executive Yuan. In accordance with Consumer Protection Act, the CPAT is eligible for taking assignment of a group of 20 or more consumers and may bring litigation in court, providing more consumer services in scope as well as in depth.
