Our history
n 1933, Norges Elektriske Materiellkontroll was established as
Ia foundation for mandatory safety testing and national approval
of electrical equipment in Norway. We expanded rapidly to new
areas, such as testing of radio interference requirements. It didn’t
take long for us to become a trusted name in Scandinavia. We
became known as Nemko.
In the last 20 years, we’ve recognised the immense opportunities
for growth, both in scope of service and in expanding our
presence beyond Scandinavia. In 1990 we became an
independent, self-owned foundation, with a supervising council of
representatives from different interest groups, including industry
and trade organisations, consumer associations and utilities. The
foundation established and became the sole owner of Nemko AS,
the central operating company responsible for the Nemko Group.
Today, Nemko offers testing, inspection and certification services
concerning products and systems on a worldwide basis. Our
global network of experts and partners in Asia, North America,
Europe, the Middle East and Africa helps customers comply with
an increasingly complex set of requirements in more than 150
countries.
We are proud to serve our customers in a reliable, efficient and
open manner, providing local presence coupled with global
knowledge.
