CB certificationIt is a set of global mutual recognition system established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IECEE). There are 45 certification bodies from 34 countries participating in the CB mutual recognition system. The member states and member institutions of this organization are constantly expanding. After an enterprise obtains a CB certificate from one of the certification agencies, it can be easily converted into a certification certificate from other agencies, thereby obtaining a permit to enter the relevant country's market. The member states of the CB certification system include all important export regions of China's mechanical and electrical products: the United States, Japan, Western Europe, Northern Europe, Poland, Russia, ASEAN, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
The CB system is managed by the Certification Management Committee (CMC) and reports to the Conformity Assessment Board (CAB) of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). CAB approved CMC's recommendations on changing the principles of the CB system, appointment of officials, finance and IECEE policies. The responsibility of CMC is to operate, develop and improve the CB system in accordance with the principles of the CB system, decide to accept, reject and suspend membership, and determine the new product categories and standards of the CB system.
The members of CMC are composed of representatives from member states, including NCB representatives, CMC executives (chairman, vice-chairman, secretary and treasurer), the chairman and secretary of the Test Laboratory Committee (CTL), IEC advisory committees (such as ACOS), and safety consultants Representative of the committee, Secretary-General of IEC.
The Committee of Testing Laboratories (CTL) is composed of representatives from NCB and CB laboratories. CTL is responsible for handling test procedures and explaining technical requirements, test conditions, test equipment and comparison tests. Its main goal is to enhance technical credibility and consistency, which is required for mutual recognition of test results in the CB system.
CB certificate application
Regarding the application of CB test certificate, the following points should be noted:
The application for CB test certificate can be submitted by the applicant to any "certification/approval" NCB that covers the scope of the product.
The applicant can be either the manufacturer or an entity authorized to represent the manufacturer.
The application may include one or more factories producing products in one or more countries.
Applicants/manufacturers/factories located in countries without IECEE member institutions need to pay an additional fee of 150 Swiss francs for each CB test certificate to compensate for the operating costs of the system. This fee is collected by the NCB that accepts the CB test certificate application and will be credited to the IECEE account.
The applicant can request NCB to test the product according to the national difference of the country where the product is sold.
Manufacturers to obtain product certification for the target market include the following procedures:
Application submitted to the NCB of the target country;
CB test certificate;
CB test report (can include national differences);
Provide product samples to the target market when required by NCB. The purpose of requesting samples is to verify that the product is consistent with the product tested by the NCB that was originally issued the certificate, and that national differences have been covered.
CB test certificate and CB test report
The CB test certificate is an official CB system document issued by an authorized NCB, and its purpose is to inform other NCBs that the tested product samples are found to meet the current requirements. The CB test certificate should not be used for advertising, but it is allowed to use the existing CB certificate as reference material.
The CB report is a standardized report, which enumerates the requirements of the relevant IEC standards in the form of an item-by-item list. The report provides the results of all required tests, measurements, verifications, inspections, and evaluations. These results should be clear and unambiguous. The report also contains photos, circuit diagrams, pictures, and product descriptions. According to the rules of the CB system, the CB test report is only valid when it is provided with the CB test certificate.
If an NCB has the necessary testing equipment and technical capabilities, it can test and evaluate products based on national differences in other countries. These additional tests are attached to the CB test report as an attachment, and are usually recognized by other recognized NCBs.
Benefits of CB test certificate
1. The foreign certification certificate can be converted
If you have already obtained the CB test certificate and CB test report, you can directly apply for certification from other countries. The certification body of the applicant country reviews the CB test certificate and report (including reports on national differences) (if necessary, a small number of samples are required). If the review results are qualified, you can obtain the country’s certification without the need to follow Additional tests are carried out on the statutes and procedural rules of the applicant country.
2. Can convert the Chinese national certification certificate
According to the CB test report and the difference test, the China national product certification report is issued, so as to obtain China's compulsory or other voluntary certification of electrical products.
3. Directly recognized or approved by other countries
With the CB test certificate and CB test report, your products can be directly exported to certain countries.
4. Save cost and time
Before a domestic enterprise applies for a foreign certification, if it applies for a CB test certificate in China, because the test is carried out in a domestic CB testing laboratory, it not only saves a lot of costs, but also saves the turnaround time for sending samples and documents. The enterprise can obtain the CB test certificate as soon as possible;
5. Increase the certainty of passing product tests
If the company has obtained the CB test certificate, all or most of the CB test results are recognized when applying for certification in other countries, which can eliminate or reduce the need to send samples for testing, which also saves time and costs; more importantly, the products that apply for certification The CB test has been done in China, which increases the certainty of the product passing the difference test.
The test report issued by Global Zhongyi has legal effect and can be used in scenarios such as the entry of supermarkets, product appeals, anti-malicious rights protection, and auctions (appeals and auctions must meet Party A's testing requirements).
