CB Certification

Brief description of certification.

Development

Originally, the CB system was initiated by the CEE (formerly the European "National Committee for Conformity Testing of Electrical Equipment") and incorporated into the IEC in 1985. The IECEE CB system was the first truly international system for mutual recognition of safety test reports for electrical products. National Certification Bodies (NCBs) in various countries form a multilateral agreement between them, and manufacturers can obtain national certification from other member countries of the CB system with a CB test certificate issued by an NCB.

CB system based on the international IEC standards. If the national standards of some member countries are not yet fully consistent with IEC standards, national differences are also allowed to exist, but should be announced to other members.The CB system uses CB test certificates to confirm that product samples have successfully passed the appropriate tests and meet the relevant IEC requirements and the requirements of the member country concerned.

The main objective of the CB system is to facilitate international trade by promoting the harmonization of national and international standards and the cooperation of product certification bodies, while bringing manufacturers closer to the desired "one test, many applications" goal.

Terminology

IECEE stands for "The IEC System for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrical Equipment" - " The official name of the CB system is "Scheme of the IECEE for Mutual Recognition of Test Certificates for Electrical Equipment" - "IECEE for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrical Products". The abbreviated name of the CB system means 'Certification Bodies ' Scheme" - "Certification Bodies System".

Scope of the system

The products covered by the CB Scheme are those within the scope of the IEC standards recognized by the IECEE system. When three or more member countries declare their desire and support for a standard to join the CB system, the new IEC standard will be adopted by the CB system. The IEC standards used are published in the CB Bulletin and on the IECEE website.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is not included in the CB system, unless specifically required by the IEC standard used. However, the CB system has begun to survey its members about their willingness to perform EMC measurements in conjunction with safety testing. The results of this survey will be published in a CB bulletin on this topic.
