Membership

Do you struggle to keep on top of changes in product legislation? Does UKCA Marking Compliance cause you a headache? Membership can help! Our Membership service is operated by our sister organisation, The CE Marking Association, your single membership allows access to the benefits offered by both UKCA Support Services and the CE Marking Association.

By becoming a member of the Association you can protect your business. We will help you to be aware of changes in Regulations 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 Regulations; not least as a result of Brexit. These changes to the Regulations have had a considerable impact on manufacturers, distributors, or importers in the UK. 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.
