One certification to enter global markets, remove trade barriers, and access multiple marks

Generally, once your CB test certificate has been issued, no further testing is required beyond specific national differences or in-country testing. If in-country testing is required, NCBs participating in the CB process will give priority to CB certification applications, speeding up the approvals and testing process for your products as a result.

CB Scheme explained

What is IECEE CB Scheme? What does CB stand for? How does the CB Scheme process work? How does the CB Scheme relate to CE marking?

What is IECEE CB Scheme?

The IECEE CB Scheme is an international system for mutual acceptance of test reports and certificates dealing with the safety of electrical and electronic components, equipment and products. It is operated by the IEC System for Conformity Assessment Schemes for Electrotechnical Equipment and Components (IECEE).

The IECEE CB Scheme is a multilateral certification system based on IEC International Standards that can be readily accessed and accepted in international markets.

What does CB stand for?

The acronym CB Scheme stands for “Certification Bodies’ Scheme”.

How does the CB Scheme process work?

A product is submitted to one of the accredited CBTLs for testing and evaluation to the appropriate IEC Safety Standard including National Deviations to meet country-specific requirements.

If the product is in compliance with the standard, a CB test report is issued to the National Certification Body (NCB) who will produce CB test certificate as a formal CB Scheme document.

Both, CB test report and CB test certificates can be presented to other participating NCBs in order to obtain national certification marks for a number of countries worldwide.

How does the CB Scheme relate to CE marking?

Although the CE marking procedure is not part of the CB Scheme, IECEE CB certification addresses most CE mark requirements and it provides good insight into any problems that may arise during the formal IEC approval. CB Scheme can also be used as part of a technical file to support a Declaration of Conformity for CE Marking.
