IECEE. Taking Conformity Assessment Further
CTL - Committee of Testing Laboratories
The main tasks of the CTL are to:
•detail the way in which the tests related to the IECEE have to
be carried out so as to achieve the necessary reproducibility of
test results,
•harmonize the design and use of the test equipment referred to
in standards and to make recommendations to the relevant
technical committee or subcommittee of the IEC for
improvements of those standards,
•provide testing laboratories with a forum in which practical
testing problems can be demonstrated and discussed
2008-06-23

12/98
IECEE. Taking Conformity Assessment Further
CTL - Committee of Testing Laboratories
The task of the CTL is to:
•Organize Proficiency Testing Programmes under
the auspices of the IECEE CMC
•Organize Workshops to analyze the results of PT
programmes and subsequent test methodology
to achieve consistent test results
•Carry out other technical work as directed by the
CMC.

CB CERTIFICATES STATISTICS
With 50.392 Certificate, 2007 has resulted in
another great year with a consolidation of Issued CB
Test Certificates.
It has to be noted that a significant number of
CB Test Certificates are directly recognized by
Buyers, Retailers and Regulatory Authorities to
provide direct access to the global markets.

CB Scheme
This system includes testing; samples of the product
are assessed for conformity. The sampling is
representative of the entire product’s family. A
certificate of conformity is granted (CB Test
Certificate) to each product represented by the
sample.
This certification system includes the following:
a) sample(s) requested by the Certification Body - NCB;
b) determination of characteristics through testing the samples by
the Testing Laboratory - CBTL ;
c) evaluation of the Test Report;
d) Decision by the Certification Body - NCB;
e) CB Test Certificate.

system involved. Surveillance of the
quality system is conducted and samples
of the product may be taken from either
the market or the site of production, or
both, and are assessed for ongoing
conformity.

Operation of the FCS

The FCS scheme is based on mutual recognition of the
Conformity Assessment Certificates (CACs) issued by its
members as the basis for the certification of electrical
products at the national and international level.

The FCS goes far beyond type testing and includes



Testing for national differences

A Follow-up Program, which can ensure consistency of
design and construction
Limitations on additional testing and requests for samples
Recognition of the Manufacturer's Quality System,
