ACEMA

What ACEMA does

ACEMA is a Belgrade-based professional services firm founded in 2014 that specializes in regulatory certification and product-approval handling for the Serbian market. The firm acts as an outsourced regulatory partner for manufacturers and importers seeking to place radio/telecommunications terminal equipment (R&TTE), electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)-relevant devices, and low-voltage (LVD) products into Serbia, managing the end-to-end process of securing Certificates of Conformity and navigating the applicable documentation requirements.

The firm executes this work through a small five-person team operating out of Hilandarska 4 in Belgrade. Its service delivery rests on direct working relationships with the relevant Serbian institutions — RATEL (the electronic-communications regulator), Kvalitet AD Nis (a testing and certification body), the Ministry of Internal and Foreign Trade and Telecommunications, the Ministry of Economy, and the Serbian Customs Administration — which collectively gate market access for the covered product categories.

ACEMA's business model is project-based professional services with quote-based pricing, handling more than 100 projects annually. The firm carries no disclosed software platform, proprietary technology stack, or AI/automation layer; its differentiation is procedural expertise, local regulatory relationships, and the ability to manage multi-agency approval workflows for foreign manufacturers lacking in-country presence. Customer logos, named accounts, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and operations are confined to Serbia.
