IECEE CB Scheme (CB Certification)

The IECEE CB Scheme is the IEC’s system for conformity testing and certification of electrotechnical equipment and components. The system is based on mutual recognition of CBTCs (Certification Body Test Certificates) by IEC members.

The scheme means that once an electrotechnical product has been tested and certified reliable and safe by one NCB, it doesn’t need to be tested by another

The IECEE CB scheme is for manufacturers wanting a smooth path for electrical products into export markets all over the world. CB certificates are increasingly accepted as minimum requirements in countries that aren’t members of the IECEE scheme. They provide the basis for certification to both international and local standards, and they can – if you work with BSI – qualify for BSI Kitemark certification.

Here is a list of the IEC members and cb scheme countries:

As a fully participating member of the CB scheme, and approved CBTL (CB Testing Laboratory) we can work with you to achieve CB certification. We can also work with you so you can identify the relevant local standards for your products.

We certify a range of electrotechnical products after they’ve been tested at one of our associated CBTL’s:

• electronic controls;
• switches and automatic controls for household appliances;
• EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) of products;
• household equipment;
• lighting – including luminaires;
• measurement, control and laboratory equipment;
• medical electrical equipment;
• IT and office equipment;
• audiovisual, information and communication technology;
• cables and cords; and
• electric vehicle chargers;
