CB system (IEC system for qualified testing and certification of electrical products) is an international system operated by IECEE. The certification bodies of IECEE member countries test the safety performance of electrical products based on IEC standards. The test results are CB test report and CB. The test certificate is mutually recognized in the IECEE member states. The aim is to reduce international trade barriers that arise from the need to meet different national certification or approval criteria. IECEE is the abbreviation of the International Electrotechnical Commission's Electrical Product Qualification Testing and Certification Organization.
Member of the CB system
The CB system provides manufacturers with an easy way to obtain multinational safety certifications for their products, enabling their products to enter more than 60 countries, and this number will continue to grow, including
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Germany, Buy, Spain, Finland, France, UK, Greece, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, New Zealand , Poland, Portugal, Russia, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Turkey, Ukraine, United States, Yugoslavia, Switzerland, Malaysia, Sweden, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bulgaria, Uruguay
CB certificate report
The CB Report is a standardized report that lists the requirements of the relevant IEC standards in a tabular list. The report reflects all the tests, tests, verifications, inspections, and assessments required by the standard, and the results should be clear and unambiguous. The report contains photographs, country differences, term determinations, and product descriptions. According to the rules of the CB system, the CB test certificate is valid only when it is provided together with the CB test report, and the CB has no mark.
Apply for a CB certificate
1. Regarding the application for the CB test certificate, the following points should be noted:
a. The application for the CB test certificate may be submitted by the applicant to any "certification/approval" NCB covering the scope of the product;
b. The applicant may be either a manufacturer or an entity authorized to represent the manufacturer;
c. The application may include one or more factories that produce products in one or more countries.
d. Applicants/manufacturers/factories located in countries without IECEE member institutions are required to pay an additional fee of 150 Swiss francs per CB test certificate to compensate for the operating costs of the system, which is covered by the NCB for CB testing. Charged and will be credited to the IECEE account.
e. Applicants may request NCB to test products based on country differences in the country in which the product is sold.
2. The manufacturer's product certification to obtain the target market includes the following procedures:
a. Submit an application to the NCB of the target country;
b.CB test certificate;
c.CB test report (can include national differences);
d. Provide product samples to the target market when required by the NCB;
The purpose of the sample is to verify that the product is consistent with the product originally tested for NCB testing and that it has covered national differences.
3. Country differences
National differences are the differences between a country's standards or regulations and corresponding international standards. All national differences in countries that have joined the CB system are submitted to the IECEE Secretariat and published in the CB Gazette.
CB product certification scope
At present, the CB system covers video game devices, test equipment, power cables, capacitors and components, lighting, household appliances, protective devices, transformers, office and IT equipment, AV equipment, and medical equipment. There are 14 categories and 14 categories. product. CB Labs (CBTL) is a laboratory accepted by the CB system and is authorized by a specific national certification body (NCB) to perform product testing and release test reports. Manufacturers can obtain CB reports and certificates from national certification bodies in any country and convert them to other safety certificates through national certification bodies under the country's system.
CB certification information provided
1.Application form
2. Circuit schematic, PCB Layout
3. Nameplate
4. English manual
5. List of key components
6. Trademark Notice (if any)
7. Transformer and inductance specifications
8. Model list (series)
9. Product photo
10. Compliance with standard safety test report
CB test certification necessity
The global acceptance of product safety test results for electrical and electronic equipment is the foundation of the CB system. After the test is successfully completed, a CB test certificate and corresponding CB test report will be issued for the product. Together, these two documents constitute a passport for manufacturers to apply for global certification of any national certification body participating in a CB system country, usually without additional testing. In addition, when applying for CB certification, it is necessary to inform the countries to be included in the report so that the corresponding country differences can be taken into account during the test.
CB certification period and validity period
Regular for 3-4 weeks, can be expedited, need to pay extra for expedited. No expiration date.
