L’association ECMA a été créée en mars 2004 suite à la prise de conscience de différents fabricants concernant la nécessité de réguler leur industrie.

Les membres de l'association ont le souci permanent d’améliorer la vie de nos compagnons domestiques, de leur apporter un équilibre et de les intégrer dans la vie sociale quotidienne.

L’association rassemble les principaux fabricants de produits électroniques d’aide à l’éducation de faible puissance, i.e. : DOGTRA, MARTIN SYSTEM, NUM’AXES, RADIO SYSTEMS CORPORATION.

L’association va aussi s’élargir pour inclure d’autres produits électroniques comme les puces magnétiques et GPS et tout autre produit destiné à la protection des animaux de compagnie.
