Nemko Canada Inc

Nemko conducts third-party testing, inspection, and certification for products and systems, focusing on safety, security, sustainability, and regulatory compliance. Its work spans pre-compliance assessment, product testing, certification, field evaluation, functional safety, cyber assurance, management system certification, and environmental performance. The organization serves manufacturers and technology businesses working with electrical and electronic products, wireless and telecommunications equipment, household appliances, industrial machinery, lighting, medical and healthcare equipment, batteries, automotive products, maritime and oil and gas equipment, and aerospace and military products. It also supports certifications related to hazardous locations, explosion protection, and energy efficiency.

Established in Norway in 1933 as Norges Elektriske Materiellkontroll, the organization originated in mandatory safety testing and national approval of electrical equipment. It became an independent, self-owned foundation in 1990, with Nemko AS as the central operating company of the Nemko Group. Its laboratories, experts, and partner network operate across Asia, North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, supporting compliance and market access in more than 150 countries. The certification portfolio includes national and multinational schemes for electrical safety, radio and telecommunications products, medical devices, energy performance, and equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres. Design reviews, testing of multiple configurations, and regulatory guidance are used to identify compliance issues early in product development and support approvals through production and distribution.
