Learn more about GB METECC and our commitment to excellence in compliance testing
GB METECC (UK) Ltd. originated in 2005 as METECC, founded by Peter and Sharon Metcalfe. The company began as an EMC consultancy focused on education, regulatory compliance, and hands-on problem-solving.
In 2024, METECC became GB METECC (UK) Ltd., operating from a dedicated facility in Littlehampton. The company continues to simplify compliance, embed EMC principles early in product design, and empower others through training and knowledge-sharing.
Our core mission and values shape everything we do at GB METECC
To simplify electronic product compliance by providing expert guidance, practical solutions, and comprehensive testing services that enable our clients to bring safe, compliant products to market efficiently.
"Expertly assisting you with electronic product compliance."
We maintain the highest standards of technical expertise and continuously expand our knowledge to provide the best possible advice and services.
We focus on delivering practical, cost-effective solutions that address real-world compliance challenges, not just theoretical ideals.
We believe in empowering our clients through education, helping them understand EMC principles and integrate them into their design processes.
We work in close partnership with our clients, treating their compliance challenges as our own and celebrating their successes.
We operate with complete transparency and ethical responsibility, providing honest assessments and reliable guidance.
We continuously evolve our testing methods and services to meet changing regulatory requirements and emerging technologies.
At GB METECC we believe EMC compliance works best when it is built into your project from the very beginning. Industry studies show that around half of all electronic products fail their first EMC test – usually due to avoidable design issues. By considering EMC at the concept stage, you reduce the risk of costly redesigns, certification delays, and missed launch dates.
We support you at every step, whether you are just starting development or are already well into your project. Early involvement allows us to work alongside your engineers on design-for-compliance principles – such as PCB layout, enclosure shielding, grounding, connector selection and interface design – ensuring potential EMC challenges are identified and addressed before they become problems. Our pre-compliance testing services highlight issues when they are quick and cost-effective to fix, giving you greater confidence in achieving UKCA/CE certification first time.
Compliance is more than a regulatory requirement – it is a strategic advantage. Starting early helps you launch faster, protect your brand reputation, and strengthen your position in the market. And if you come to us later in the process, we will still work with you to find the most effective route to market, ensuring your product meets all necessary EMC testing and certification requirements.
