The Project

Gainsborough Baths have been designing and manufacturing high quality power assisted baths for the care sector for over 20 years. They were visited by a local Trading Standards Officer regarding a competitor product incident, only to find out that Gainsborough products were different in design. However, the company were asked to bring their CE Marking requirements in line with current legislation.

Additionally, Gainsborough had plans for 3 new products to be launched over the coming years, and so was an ideal opportunity to get their CE compliance in order. With the support of both MAS-WM and Black Country Business Link, the CE Marking Association was able to carry out all the necessary legal conformity assessments and technical file construction requirements to enable Gainsborough to demonstrate compliance when the Trading Standards officer returned a visit.

The Result

The success of Gainsborough’s products and the ability to demonstrate compliance has enabled the business to expand from 200 to 300 baths per year. The CE Marking Association and Wemtech have completed approximately 200 projects for MAS nationally and we welcome your calls to discuss any queries on product compliance.
