CE Marking Association

What CE Marking Association does

CE Marking Association, operated as Wemtech Ltd, is a UK-headquartered consultancy and membership organization that delivers CE marking advisory, EMC and electrical safety testing, compliance assessment, and training services to manufacturers, importers, and distributors of regulated products. Founded in 1989 and tracing its operational roots to the West Midlands EMC Club established in 1993 under a DTI (now BEIS) initiative, the firm was rebranded as the CE Marking Association in 2003 and is currently based at Wootton Park in Warwickshire. The legal entity is a private limited company with 1-10 employees and is reported to have hundreds of members drawn from both large organizations and SMEs across the UK and the European Economic Area.

The firm's revenue model is a hybrid of recurring subscriptions and professional services. Membership fees are tiered by company size, ranging from £450 (1-5 employees) to £1,195 (250+ employees) for new sign-ups, with parallel renewal, two-year, and three-year fixed-price options effective 1 August 2025. Training is delivered through public workshops and in-company programs priced at £250-£900 for non-members with up to 50% member discounts, while EMC testing starts at £250 in-lab and from £1,250 on-site. The service portfolio also includes a turn-key compliance management offering, technical documentation support, risk and PUWER assessments, and an SME funding assistance service capable of securing up to 50% grant funding. The core technical assets are an in-house EMC test facility at Wootton Park, qualified EMC engineers, a member-exclusive knowledge base, and a library of British, European, and International standards, all feeding a curriculum covering 25+ CE marking directives.

The go-to-market is sales-led within a community framework, combining the CE Marking Association's direct consultancy, the technical helpline for members, annual seminar participation, and trade show presence (Farnborough International, 2022-2024). Distribution is regional (UK-centric, with Northern Ireland and EU references tied to Brexit/UKCA advisory) and is delivered through direct sales (training at Wootton Park and customer sites), inside sales (helpline and email support), and a self-serve online member portal refreshed in February 2025. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, no funding rounds have been recorded, and there is no indication of external institutional ownership or a parent company.
