The Associate Company Scheme

“We have been representing users’ interests since 1950. Founded by some of the biggest names in industry, the Association was and still is regarded as an essential means of keeping abreast of a changing regulatory environment, and ensuring capital assets are operated safely, efficiently and effectively in a world where technologies and economies are transforming.

EEMUA has been at the forefront of establishing good practice across a range of industries and technical disciplines; from tank storage to alarm management, from working in hazardous areas to ensuring the integrity of ageing plant, demonstrating its members’ involvement in tackling the issues of the day. Our Technical Committees and Forums provide a range of opportunities for your technical experts to maintain and extend their technical competence through interaction with their peers. Being involved in the development of good practice guidance can help your organisation be a leader in the field of industrial asset management – helping to put together the methodologies that will be used by the users of industrial assets for the next seventy years.

We are proud to be the voice of the user, but we listen to our associates as well.

Join EEMUA and gain access to a non-competitive network for you to share experiences and build relationships, across a diverse range of industries.

Dr Stefan Kukula, Chief Executive

About EEMUAEEMUA is a non-profit membership organisation representing companies that are significant purchasers and users of engineering equipment and materials of construction.

Our members invariably operate industrial establishments or assets with safety-critical operations and cover facilities like process plants, power stations, offshore platforms, storage terminals, energy, utility transport, distribution systems and other engineering assets around the world.

We focus our efforts on the most critical issues for owners and operators, helping them maintain the right balance of in-house engineering expertise, stay abreast of a broad and increasingly complex regulatory landscape and operate their capital assets efficiently, effectively and in compliance with relevant legislation, regulation and standard.

Membership spans multiple sectors and technical activities, covering the full scope of industrial asset management.

As service providers to our Members and other owners and operators of industrial assets, Associates play a key role in industry by carrying out inspections, providing relevant training, integrity management, risk management and much more, where needed.

interests of our members.

Your staff can register to receive our weekly news alerts, quarterly newsletter, documents and other updates.

Influence

Our strong reputation means EEMUA works with and is approached by regulatory authorities such as the HSE, government departments and other bodies to

discuss issues in a collective fashion rarely possible with individual companies.

Professional Development

EEMUA provides excellent opportunities for continuous personal and professional development at all levels by means of EEMUA

events and webinars.

Knowledge and experience of engineering staff is widened through participation in EEMUA’s Technical Committees, Forums training and

competency courses and events.

Governance and oversight The EEMUA Council, in collaboration with the Board of Directors, reviews and determines the strategic direction of the Association and the content of the work programme. While the Council sets the overall direction and policy for the association, it also appoints members to the EEMUA Board, comprising both non-executive directors and EEMUA’s senior executives. The board has both governance and leadership roles. Both are made up of member representatives ensuring that we are run by engineers for engineers.

Associate Company symbolBecoming an Associate is also a great way to show your support for EEMUA and the work it does for its Members and the industry, in return demonstrating your dedication to your potential and existing customers. This can be made visible by the use of an EEMUA Associate Company symbol that can be used on items of corporate stationery and the company website.

“With an increase for inspections on storage tanks, Ultramag felt it vital to show its

commitment to providing a professional service to this industry. Joining EEMUA has given us access to the appropriate standards of training, development, networking and

professional guidance.” Ultramag Inspection Services Ltd

“D&C Engineering has been involved with EEMUA for many years and in various ways. Our involvement in EEMUA’s Storage Tanks

Committee (STC) has helped develop a number of technical guidance like EEMUA

159 and the associated competency scheme, CompeTank®, which has run successfully for nearly two decades. We are still heavily

involved in the planning and delivery of the scheme, making reference to the

Roman phrase “docendo discimus”, i.e. by teaching others we learn. Our aim as an

organisation is to share good practice that will contribute to fewer incidents, less volatile organic compound emissions and a greater awareness of how to deal with hazardous substances within the storage tank industry. This matches EEMUA’s aims to help users

improve the safety, environmental and operating performance of industrial facilities in

the most cost-effective way.”D&C Engineering

“EEMUA believes in helping users to improve performance in the most cost-effective way,

which is a core value of RAS. Becoming an EEMUA Associate provides an exciting opportunity to share our experience from industry and gather the insights of others. By developing a working relationship with

a like-minded organisation such as EEMUA, we hope that we can achieve our common

goal of increasing standards of safety and regulatory compliance across industrial

facilities.” RAS Ltd
