Global certification milestone: Joining the IECEE CB Scheme
We are proud to announce our acceptance into the IECEE CB Scheme as a National Certification Body (NCB).
We are proud to announce our acceptance into the IECEE CB Scheme as a National Certification Body (NCB).
Additionally, we have also been recognized as a CB Testing Laboratory (CBTL) under the jurisdiction of our National Certification Body. CB Testing Laboratories (CBTLs) are tasked with conducting testing programs and issuing Test Reports (TRs) in accordance with IEC International Standards.
The CB Scheme is overseen by the IEC System of Conformity Assessment Schemes for Electrotechnical Equipment and Components (IECEE). This international framework ensures the mutual acceptance of test reports and certificates, emphasizing the safety of electrical and electronic components, equipment, and products.
The CB Scheme, as a multilateral agreement among participating countries and certification organizations, aims to facilitate global trade by harmonizing national standards with international ones and fostering cooperation among recognized National Certification Bodies (NCBs) worldwide. This initiative moves product manufacturers closer to the ideal of “one product, one test, one mark, where applicable.”
For the industry, the primary benefits include reduced delays and costs from multiple testing processes. A product certified once by a single National Certification Body (NCB) is accepted globally, eliminating the need for further product evaluations. This streamlines the product launch process and accelerates market expansion.
Our laboratory testing services under the CB Scheme in the area of electrical safety include:
- Input current, voltage and power measurements
- Testing with various probes
- Protection against access to live parts
- Heating measurements
- Leakage current measurement
- Electric strength testing
- Stability and mechanical hazard testing
- Glow-wire testing
- Screw and connections checking
- Mechanical strength testing
- Electromagnetic fields exposure assessment
- Risk assessment
