About Us

The CE Marking Association was originally established in 1993 under a national initiative by the DTI (now BIS). The main purpose of the association is to assist UK companies that manufacture, import or distribute products that fall within the scope of at least one of the 21 CE Marking Directives (such as electrical apparatus, machines, medical devices, pressure equipment, construction products, toys, personal protective equipment, gas burners, and other consumer products), in understanding and meeting their legal obligations with regards to CE Marking and product compliance. The CE Marking Association provides independent and authoritative help and advice regarding CE Marking and related product compliance Directives; delivers training and workshops to increase in-house knowledge and ability; provides compliance services such as EMC testing, electrical safety testing and machinery assessments; and keeps members abreast of current product legislation and future changes by providing regular meetings, newsletters, updates, access to the website members area, and technical assistance from our experienced team of consultants. The CE Marking Association has a committee comprising of representatives from reputable organisations within the industry, both in the public and private sector, and is chaired and managed by the not-for-profit organisation Wemtech. Each committee member has their own specialism that contributes to the association’s network of expert advice that is available to assist our members with their extensive range of compliance requirements. The CE Marking Association also regularly liases with; BIS (formerly BERR & DTI); enforcement agencies such as Trading Standards, the HSE, and the MHRA; and other industry authorities, who collectively assist the association in keeping members up-to-date on legislation and associated policy. We invite you to join the most active independent association of its kind in the UK - we are here to help you navigate and demystify the realms of product compliance.
