The CB Scheme

The CB Scheme is based on the principle of mutual
recognition (reciprocal acceptance) by its members of test
results for obtaining certification or approval at national
level.

The Scheme is intended to reduce obstacles to
international trade which arise from having to meet
different national certification or approval criteria.

Participation of the worldwide NCBs within the Scheme is
intended to facilitate certification or approval according to
IEC standards.
27
The Ideal Target
One test
One certification
One mark
28
Today’s reality is…
One test
One international certificate
One or more marks as needed
29
Today’s reality is also…

One test

One international certificate

Direct acceptance by the market place
e.g. Regulators, Retailers, Buyers, Vendors

52
The CB Scheme Process
Manufacturer makes an electrical
product and sends it for testing
so it can be certified
A laboratory tests the product for
conformity to IEC standards and
issues a Test Report
53
The CB Scheme Process
Sample request
NCB requests sample(s) and sets
the testing programme
Testing
CBTL’s Staff performs the
measuring and testing programme
Evaluation
NCB’s Staff evaluates the Test Report
Decision
NCB’s officer takes the Certification
decision
Licence
NCB issues the CB Test Certificate
and Test Report
54
The CB Scheme Process

Manufacturer now wishes to
sell the product in another
country where the market
requires a Domestic
Certification Mark or Approval.

Manufacturer provides the CB
Test certificate and Test Report
to a Certification Body member
of the IECEE in the second
country
55
The CB Scheme Process
Alternatively the Issuing NCB
can act on behalf of the
Manufacturer to directly contact
1 or more NCBs in countries B to
seek the certification
mark/approval of the
Certification Body(ies)
member(s) of the IECEE in the
relevant countries
56
The CB Scheme Process
Multilateral Acceptance by the IECEE Member NCBs

Second NCB recognizes the CB
Test Results and CB Test
Certificate that have already been
granted by the Issuing NCB and
grants its certification
mark/approval

Manufacturer may now affix the
NCB’s mark/approval of conformity
of the second country to the
product and may export the
product to that country
57
The CB Scheme Process
Regulatory Authority

Manufacturer now wishes to
sell the product in another
country where the market
requires Regulatory
compliance.

Manufacturer provides the
CB Test certificate and Test
Report to the Regulatory
Authority
58
The CB Scheme Process

Regulatory Authority reviews
the CB Test Certificate and CB
Test Report and …

…grants access to the
relevant Market
