EMeTAS is an annual subscription service giving access to the latest NAWI Type Approvals information in the Members' Only section of the EMeTAS Service Internet site.
There are two variants of the database: the standard database for government and other authorised subscribers and the commercial variant for manufacturers and other commercial subscribers. The databases are the same except that a very small number of certificates are restricted in the commercial version.
Subscription to the service is in the form of an annual licence, payable in advance.
Type Approvals information is issued by the Central Metrological Authorities within WELMEC and this information forms part of the European Metrology Type Approvals Service (EMeTAS) administered by the EMeTAS Consortium.
This is what our subscribers say about EMeTAS :-
"One of my responsibilities for METTLER TOLEDO is the legal metrology for our approved products that are put into use for trade. EMeTAS is a very important tool enabling me to efficiently access Type Approval and Test Certificates for ours and other companies. All the information is in one place, this reduces the arduous task of searching numerous websites without any results.", Technical Services Manager,Mettler-Toledo Ltd
"I have used EMeTAS from the days of its inception and have seen it develop in a user friendly way. It would be very difficult for a Notified Body to test new NAWIs without the full access to TACs that EMeTAS provides. It also gives confidence of compliance with TACs when conducting reverifications.", Principal Trading Standards Officer, West Sussex
"EMeTAS enables me to quickly source NAWi type approval documents and test certificates from a comprehensive database of over 6000 documents. Supplied online for maximum flexibility. I think it' s great and recommend everybody should have it.", Principal Trading Standards Officer, Central Bedfordshire.
