 Company & Clients

Based in Brussels since 1988, Single Market Ventures has grown in parallel with EU programmes to eliminate trade barriers caused by multiple testing or the use of unique national standards. The company name comes from the EU's Single Market - a barrier-free trade zone accounting for over 25% of the global economy, with a population currently at around 350 million and still expanding. The company is independent of any official or other organisation. The Europe-link Information Service has been offered since 1991.

Our services are used not only in Europe, but in over 30 countries of the world, by manufacturers, testing bodies, and by governments who develop technical regulations which use standards.
