2025 was an extraordinary year, marked by important innovations and the expansion of our services into new markets, confirming us as a partner of choice for Italian and international companies for certification and testing services.

SAFE IMPORT CHECK: AN IMPORTANT SERVICE FOR YOUR SHIPMENTS

Our Safe Import Check service verifies, through pre-shipment inspections and assistance during customs checks, that imported goods comply with the standards required for entry into the EU market. Furthermore, thanks to the opening of the Ente Cerma Certification Shanghai branch, ECM is able to offer a comprehensive solution for Italian and European companies importing from China, managing the entire control and inspection process to prevent the risk of receiving non-compliant, counterfeit, or damaged goods.

Despite the turbulence in global markets, over the course of 2025, more and more companies have adopted this type of service to ensure a smooth and secure process, thanks to our many years of experience in the sector.

CONSOLIDATION OF INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS

In 2025, ECM was engaged on several fronts to strengthen our presence in international markets. We had the pleasure of hosting a delegation of three key South Korean players, recognized leaders in the medical innovation landscape. The meeting, held at our headquarters, focused on building a solid and strategic partnership.

We then enthusiastically met with customers and collaborators from the medical sector at MEDICA 2025, an unmissable event for the major international players in the sector.

EXPANSION OF THE MACHINERY CERTIFICATION BODY TEAM

Our team has expanded with the arrival of Luca Serra, a new Press Office & Social Media Manager to strengthen our communications, and Damiano Pignalosa, a Sales Manager & Business Developer, for strategic expansion into the national market.

GROWTH IN THE MEDICAL SECTOR AND CONTINUING EDUCATION

ECM continued to support the medical industry as a Notified Body for Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR), through its EU certification activities and by participating as a speaker at key national and international events, including the “EU Regulations Discussion Day 2025” organized by Team-NB, the “Medical Devices Regulation: state of the art of the Medical Devices and Healthcare sector” organized by Confindustria Emilia Area Centro, and the “Regulatory Affairs Day 2025” organized by Confindustria DM. Participation in these initiatives, together with our structured dialogue service, strengthens our role as a strategic partner for manufacturers, demonstrating our commitment to improving the efficiency of conformity assessment processes.

MORE AND MORE ECM CUSTOMERS HAVE REACHED THE MDR 2017/745 COMPLIANCE MILESTONE

This significant achievement, the fruit of preparation, technical expertise, and strategy, confirms Ente Certificazione Macchine’s commitment to supporting medical sector companies on the path to full compliance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices.

GOALS FOR 2026

Our Test Laboratory will be equipped with new equipment, allowing us to meet increasingly advanced testing needs.

Furthermore, thanks to the dedication of our team and the trust of our partners, we will continue to consolidate our leadership position in the certification and testing landscape, looking to the future with new goals.

We close out the year with a special thank you to our staff, collaborators, and customers for their continued support and trust in our business. ECM wishes you a prosperous 2026!
