CB Certification

The CB Scheme

The main benefits of the CB scheme are that it allows manufacturers based anywhere in the world:

to apply for the product certification mark of any other participating scheme member - provided that the CB body applied to, (Body ‘B’), is a signatory to the same product category as the CB body issuing the CB report, (Body ‘A’).
to obtain CB reports/certificates which may be used to demonstrate product (safety) compliance to local importers and distributors, in more countries than under any other scheme.

Key aspects of the CB scheme include:

Testing in accordance with the IEC standards.
CB members reserve the right to carry out re-testing when applying for additional certification marks. (A product sample may therefore be requested.)
Factory inspection is not covered by the scheme.
Manufacturing site can be worldwide.
Recognised in more than 30 countries worldwide.
Established for over 30 years.

Nemko is one of the founding members of the IECEE, (the umbrella organisation of the CB Scheme), and is one of the leaders in issuing CB certificates.
