This follows the news that NMi, the Netherlands Measurement Institute, has become the first European notified body operating in the measuring instrument sector to set up in the UK and secure appointment as a UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) approved body.
NMi can now serve as a single point of contact for businesses looking to acquire both UKCA and CE product markings.
This has prompted The Office for Product and Safety Standards to name NMi as a suitable alternative provider for Module D certificates and Module B-type certificates. NMO customers are also able to transfer their existing certificates to NMi.
“NMi’s new appointment fills the service gap created by NMO’s withdrawal from the market, allowing us to compete and be the ‘go-to’ service provider,” said Adrian Rudd, UK manager at NMi.
NMi can provide UKCA and EU conformity assessment services applicable to each kind of measuring instrument, including type evaluation and manufacturing quality assurance. NMi’s services also cover new product evaluation, revisions to existing certifications and transfer of EU certifications to UKCA (and vice-versa).
