Through the CB Scheme Intertek will help you gain access to the global markets you desire. Obtaining the necessary international certifications can be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. However, as a Certification Body in the CB Scheme, Lander can help to make this process a simpler one. Through our testing partnership, you will realize both time and cost savings, while meeting the requirements to market your products in more than 40 countries. It's no wonder Lander issues more CB Scheme Certificates than any other National Certification Body.
CB Scheme Background
The IECEE’s CB Scheme is an international program for the exchange and acceptance of product safety test results among participating laboratories and certification organizations around the world. Most electrical and electronic equipment must have product safety registration or certification for each country in which it is offered for sale. Historically, obtaining the necessary national product certifications has been difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. This is no longer true. The CB Scheme is a convenient process for mutual recognition of test results between participating countries, normally without the need for additional testing.
The CB Scheme offers manufacturers a simplified way of obtaining multiple national safety certifications for their products — providing entry into over 40 countries.
Benefits of the CB Scheme
By significantly reducing duplicate testing for multiple markets, the CB Scheme provides substantial advantages:
- Speed: Accelerated international product acceptance – faster product movement from factory to market
- Efficiency: CB Scheme rules stipulate handling of applications on a priority basis
- Savings: Significantly reduced workload, reduced testing, and fewer product samples subjected to possible damage or destruction
- Convenience: One-stop complete local testing for worldwide safety compliance
How the CB Scheme works
International acceptance of electrical and electronic equipment product safety test results is the basis of the CB Scheme. Upon successful completion of testing, a CB Test Certificate and a corresponding CB Test Report is issued for the product. Together these two documents become the passport with which a manufacturer is able to apply for national certifications from any National Certification Body in any of the participating countries, usually without additional testing. However, in most countries, factory inspection is required as a prerequisite for obtaining national certification/approval.
Throughout our global network, Lander provides three National Certification Bodies (NCB) for the CB Scheme process, and numerous CB Testing Laboratories (CBTL). With a CB Test Report from CBTL and a corresponding CB Certificate from an NCB, you may obtain multiple national safety certifications for your products. To obtain a national certification without additional testing, you must submit your CB Certificate and Test Report to an NCB in a participating CB Scheme country.
CB-Full Certification Scheme (CB-FCS)
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) announced the introduction of the CB-Full Certification Scheme (CB-FCS), coining it "the world's first truly international certification system" to facilitate global market acceptance. The CB-FCS offers improvements over the current CB certification system through its use of a multilateral agreement (MLA). |
