About AMDEA
|
AMDEA is the Lead Trade Association for domestic appliances. We help
to draft European Directives; to draw up Unilateral Commitments
to make energy saving and environmentally friendly products;
to negotiate UK Regulations; to create and revise international,
European and UK standards on safety and performance; and to
supervise approvals and certification procedures. At every
stage of the development, manufacture marketing, after-sales
service and ultimate disposal and recycling of the product,
AMDEA is involved – from Cradle to Grave.
The largest part of the database is designed specifically for
companies like you, only you can’t get into it because you
are not a member of the Lead Trade Association for domestic
appliances.
Our member companies have access 24 hours a day to the Member
Section (which means their colleagues across the world can
log on during the working day). Stored in here, regularly updated,
is the latest information on all the legislation, Regulations
and Standards which impact on the way you design, manufacture
and market products – and then collect and recycle it when
it is discarded.
We circulate vital information to our members, alerting them
to proposals which affect their commercial operations. We don’t
recognise “technical“ issues – if they affect how you make
your product and how you get them to market, they are hard
commercial issues, and we treat them as such.
Our industry faces serious challenges from European law-makers
in the environmental and consumer protection areas. New EU
Directives on product design, environmental impact, energy
consumption, product safety pre- and post-market and consumer
protection are all in the Brussels pipeline or being discussed
for implementation in the UK. And it does not matter that you
may have information from colleagues in the other parts of
Europe on these changes – because the transposition arrangements
in the UK often contain unique variations.
AMDEA not only informs you of these developments as they
unfold. We involve you in the process, so you can have your
own say. Never has there been more consultation with
industry over the way new law is framed in the UK.
