Your access to global markets in a single step with our CB certification
Your access to global markets in a single step with our CB certification
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 the use of internationally-accepted product safety standards, the 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.
International network of product certification organisations
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 can access every CB Scheme member country
Avoid expensive and duplicate testing.
Save time and given priority
CB Scheme applicants are often given priority consideration by NCBs since no additional testing is required.
A multilateral certification system based on IEC standards
Accessed and accepted across international markets.
We operate CB Scheme-authorised CBTLs that can test electrical and electronic products under nearly all of the 23 CB Scheme product categories. In addition to CB Scheme product testing, TÜV SÜD is also a recognised NCB under the CB Scheme.
Our team of specialists works with you through the entire product development cycle to add value and help you to deliver safe and reliable products. TÜV SÜD technical professionals are actively involved in international advisory boards and standards development activities, ensuring up-to-date knowledge of current and changing requirements.
Three simple steps:
The CB Scheme is based on international IEC standards. For a complete list of standards operated by the IECEE CB Scheme, you can find it from this link.
The IECEE CB scheme address the safety, quality, efficiency and overall performance of components, devices and equipment for homes, offices, workshops, health facilities among others. In all, IECEE covers 23 categories of electrical and electronic equipments:
There is no comparison between CE marking and the CB Test Certificate.
The CB Test Certificate is issued based on third party testing of samples of the products against a published IEC standard, while the CE marking is a regulatory marking to enter the European market and constitutes a declaration by the manufacturer that the product complies with the essential requirements as set in the directives.
CB scheme does not have its own product mark or symbol.
