CB System
Certification Overview:
The CB System (IEC System for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrical Equipment) is an international system operated by IECEE. Certification bodies of IECEE member countries conduct tests on the safety performance of electrical products based on IEC standards. The test results, known as CB test reports and CB certificates, are mutually recognized within IECEE member countries. The aim is to reduce international trade barriers arising from the need to comply with different national certification or approval criteria.

Application for Testing
(1) Applicant as Holder of CB Test Certificate:
1. The applicant can be an enterprise or an agent of the enterprise. In the latter case, proof of authorization for the agent to handle the application on behalf of the enterprise must be submitted, along with evidence that both the enterprise and the applicant bear the same responsibilities. These responsibilities include compliance with IECEE rules and procedures, IECEE statutes, certification rules and procedures, as well as relevant national laws, regulations, and provisions in China.
2. The application can include one or more manufacturing plants in the applicant's country, with the products manufactured by these plants controlled by the enterprise.
3. When manufacturing the same products in different countries, the applicant must submit separate applications for each country where they represent enterprises.
4. If the applicant is from a non-member country of IECEE and is applying on behalf of enterprises from non-member countries, additional fees must be paid for each application. The amount of additional fees is determined by the IECEE Management Committee. Unless otherwise agreed, these fees should be collected by the CCEE handling the application and remitted to the CB System account at the IECEE Secretariat. Note: Sole proprietorships are treated as foreign enterprises, while joint ventures are treated as domestic enterprises.
(2) Preparation before Application:
- Applicants with legal status must ensure during the product development phase, aiming to sell products in the global market, that products comply with IEC standards adopted within the CB System (see Table 1), while also considering differences between national standards of IECEE member countries and IEC standards. Before submitting the application and sending samples, it is essential to confirm that the products comply with IEC safety standards and the relevant national standards of the exporting countries.
- Designate a person within the organization responsible for handling the application, sample submission, certification acquisition, and related matters after certification, and ensure understanding of the CB procedures.
