What is CB certification?

CB system is a set of global mutual recognition system for electronic products established by IECEE (International Electrotechnical Commission for conformity testing and certification of electrical equipment). This system obtains national certification or approval by mutual recognition test results among member states participating in CB system, so as to promote international certification Trade. Most of the electronic and electrical products need to meet the requirements of different laws and regulations when entering the markets of various countries. In the past, it was a difficult and time-consuming process to obtain the product safety registration or safety certification of various countries. But now relying on the CB system, this will never happen again. CB system is a very convenient procedure, the participating countries can recognize each other's test results, usually no additional test is needed.

Necessity of CB certification

It is the basis of CB system to make the product safety test results of electronic and electrical equipment accepted globally. After the successful completion of the test, a CB test certificate and corresponding CB test report will be issued for the product. The two documents together constitute a pass, and the manufacturer can apply for the national certification of any national certification authority participating in CB system countries or regions, usually without additional testing. In addition, when applying for CB certification, it is necessary to inform the countries to be included in the report, so that the corresponding national differences can be taken into account during the test.

CB certified product range

At present, CB system covers video game devices, testing equipment, power supply cables, capacitors and parts, lighting, household appliances, protection devices, transformers, office and it equipment, as well as medical devices, etc., with a total of 14 categories and 180 products. CB Laboratory (CBTL) is a laboratory accepted by CB system, which is authorized by NCB to carry out product test and issue test report. Manufacturers can obtain CB reports and certificates from national certification bodies in any country and transfer them to other safety certificates through national certification bodies under CB system in that country.

CB certification data preparation

1. Product instructions.

2. Safety design documents (including key structural drawings, i.e. design drawings that can reflect the climbing distance, clearance, number and thickness of insulation layers).

3. Product technical conditions (or enterprise standards).

4. Product electrical schematic diagram.

5. Product circuit diagram.

6. List of key components or raw materials (please select products with European certification mark).

7. Photocopy of certification of complete machine or components.

8. Other required information
