Membership

Do you struggle to keep on top of changes in product legislation? Does CE Marking Compliance cause you a headache? Membership can help!

By becoming a member of the Association you can protect your business. We will help you to be aware of changes in Directives and legislation that may affect the ongoing conformity of your products or machinery. You can also enjoy having access to continued support from our technical team through our membership scheme.

Over the last few years many significant changes have occurred in almost all of the product Directives. These changes to the Directives have had a considerable impact on manufacturers, distributors, or importers in the EU. If your company is considering becoming a member, this will enable you to be kept up-to-date with the changes as they happen, in addition to the many other benefits that the Association offers.
