Conformance was established at the end of 1993 and since then the company has built up a client base which includes manufacturers and importers from the UK and countries around the world. Our service areas include product safety and CE marking and UKCA Marking assessment, consultancy and training. We can also support you in completing your self-assessment and Declaration of Conformity.

The smallest device we have ever worked on was the size of a kidney bean; the largest a multi-million pound water industry installation.
