'''Norges Elektriske Materiellkontroll''' ('''NEMKO''') is a [[Norway|Norwegian]] private organization that supervises safety testing for electrical equipment manufacturing.

The Nemko Group offers testing, inspection and [[product certification|certification]] services concerning products, machinery, installations and systems worldwide.

==History==

The original NEMKO was established in 1933 as an institution for mandatory safety testing and national approval of electrical equipment marketed and sold in [[Norway]] for connection to the [[public utility]] network.

Later, testing of [[Electromagnetic interference|radio interference]] requirements became another part of the approval regime.

In 1990, as Norway entered into the [[European Economic Area]] agreement, [[European Union directive|European Community Directives]] for product safety were adopted, and the traditional mandatory approval scheme was abandoned. As this stage, NEMKO was transformed into an independent, self-owned foundation, having a council of representatives from different interest groups ([[Industry (economics)|industry]] and [[trade]] organizations, [[consumer]] associations, utility companies etc.) as the highest level of supervision. At the same time, the foundation established and became the sole owner of Nemko AS, which constitutes the central operating company and is responsible for what is today denoted the Nemko Group.

Since 1992, both the scope of [[Service (economics)|service]]s and the global presence of Nemko have been greatly expanded to testing, inspection, and certification services concerning products and systems on a worldwide basis. Its 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.
