CB system (electrician product qualification testing and certification of the IEC system) is - an international system of the operation of the IECEE IECEE member states certification institution based on the IEC standards for electrical product safety performance test, the test results the CB test report and the CB test certificate in the IECEE member states have mutual recognition system. Goal is to reduce by having to meet different national certification or approval standards of international trade barriers. The IECEE is the international electrotechnical commission electrician product qualification testing and certification organization.
3 relevant institutions
National certification body (NCB) is to electrical products issued by the national within the scope of approval certificate of certification bodies. To become a member of the CB system, NCB of internal quality system and the technical ability must meet certain requirements. A NCB according to their qualification requirements can be divided into NCB or certification/approval NCB.
Recognition of NCB
A NCB approval issued by the license issuing NCB other CB test certificate and CB test report, as in specific product areas and within the scope of the standard issued certificates and marks on the basis of their own countries.
Recognized NCB doesn't automatically have the power of the CB test certificate.
The certificate/NCB
License issuing NCB in addition to perform the function recognition of NCB, shall have the right within the scope of the standard of the registration issue CB test certificate.
Certification/approval NCB recognition range can be greater than the scope of certification. Scope of certification and recognition are posted on the website related "scope" of the area.
CB laboratory (CBTL) is to accept the CB system laboratory, it under the responsibility of particular NCB to one or more test issued by CB test report and product category. CB laboratory can in CB system with different NCB, but when it is working with multiple NCB, for a certain product category (e.g., OFF) test, can only work with a NCB.
The certificate report
CB report is a kind of standardization, it listed in the form of a detailed list of relevant IEC standard requirements. Report to provide all the test, measurement, validation, inspection and evaluation results, these results should be clear and unambiguous. The report also contains pictures, circuit diagrams, pictures and product description. According to the rules of the CB system, CB test certificate only when provide with CB test report is valid.
To apply for the certificate
About the CB test certificate application, should pay attention to the following:
- apply for CB test certificate can be submitted by the applicant to any covering the product range of NCB "certification/approval".
- the applicant can be either manufacturer, also can be authorized, on behalf of the manufacturer of the entity.
- application can include one or more countries in the production of products of one or more factories.
- in countries with no IECEE member within the applicant/manufacturer/factory need to pay additional costs for each CB test certificate
- the applicant may require the NCB according to the different products are exported to the country to test the product.
Manufacturers to obtain the target market of product certification consists of the following procedures:
- NCB submit application to the target country;
- the CB test certificate;
- the CB test report (can include national differences);
- when required by the target market of NCB, to provide samples of products.
Is the purpose of the sample to confirm the product is consistent with the original license issuing NCB test products, and has covered the national differences.

National differences
National differences are the standard of a country and the difference between the corresponding international standards. All joined CB system of national differences are submitted to the IECEE secretariat, and publish in CB bulletin.
12 points for attention
Don't need to factory inspection;
When apply for CB certification, to be told to consider listed in the report of the state, in order to test the corresponding national differences into consideration.
