CB Certification Scheme
CB Scheme - Your Global “Passport” for Electrical Products
With all the activity surrounding the New Approach Directives in Europe, harmonisation of international standards and the various Mutual Recognition Agreements between countries, it could be easy to forget that there already exists a well tried and accepted scheme involving the international recognition of safety and EMC standards - the CB Scheme.
The International Electrotechnical Commission system for conformity testing and certification of Electrical Equipment (IECEE), Certification Body (CB) Scheme, is recognised in more than 50 countries and has been established for over 30 years. Non-IEC member countries normally accept the CB Certificates as well.
By opting for a CB Certificate issued by TÜV SÜD Product Service, you avoid the long and costly process of obtaining individual national approvals for almost every export country. After the testing of your product has been completed successfully, we provide you with a CB Test Report and CB Certificate. This product “passport” enables you to apply to any CB Scheme member worldwide to receive their national certification marks.
The CB scheme is based around the use of International standards such as: |
IEC 60950-1 Safety of Information Technology Equipment IEC 60065 Safety of Audio, Video, and Similar Equipment CISPR 22; CISPR 24 EMC requirements of Information Technology Equipment |
The following flexible testing options may be possible, depending upon the certification scheme required:
- Testing in our fully equipped laboratory (CBTL)
- Testing at Manufacturers’ Premises (TMP)
- Supervised Manufacturers’ Testing (SMT)
- Recognised Manufacturers’ Testing (RMT)
- Witnessed Manufacturers’ Testing (WMT)
