We are an independent test house that tests and inspects electrical and electronic products for conformance to national, European, North American and international safety standards.

Our customers include leading brand names, their suppliers, manufacturers, importers, exporters, retailers and the enforcement authorities themselves. Many of our customers make or sell products and the service we provide enables them to ensure that their products comply fully with the relevant EMC and safety legislation, such as the CE marking requirements in Europe. In many other parts of the world it is a legal requirement to have a particular certification mark. Even where it is not, a certification mark can strengthen a product's brand image. By utilising the Nemko Direct service in combination with the CB Scheme, we are able to provide a global certification service that is second to none.

Why Choose Us?

The results of our customer surveys tell us that our customers choose us primarily because of our delivery times, our technical competence and our helpful service.

Customers who are interested in compliance with UK/European safety standards value our UKAS accreditation and European Notified Body status. Those of our customers who trade internationally use our Nemko CB certificates as the basis for obtaining the required approvals/certifications for the various counties to which they export.
