IECEE CB Scheme

What is the IECEE CB Scheme?

The IEC System for Conformity Assessment Schemes for Electrotechnical Equipment and Components (IECEE) Certification Body (CB) Scheme is the world’s first international system for the mutual acceptance of product safety test reports and certificates for electrical and electronic equipment, devices and components.

Based on internationally accepted product safety standards, the IECEE CB Scheme relies on a global network of CB testing laboratories (CBTLs), who are responsible for testing products to applicable technical standards. Product test results are then submitted to national certification bodies (NCBs) in CB Scheme member countries, who can authorise legal access to CBTL-tested products without additional testing.

What are the benefits of the CB TEST?

Presently, there are more than 50 CB Scheme member countries around the world, including European Union (EU) Member States, the U.S., China, India, Korea and Russia. Manufacturers using the CB Scheme testing can potentially gain access to every CB Scheme member country without the need for expensive, duplicate testing.

Further, CB Scheme applicants are often given priority consideration by NCBs since, apart from CB testing, no additional testing is required.
