The CB Scheme The CB Scheme is the only Global recognized scheme for the safety of electrical equipment and components used in homes, offices, buildings, administrations, hospitals, academia……. anywhere Meeting of WP 6 Bureau, Rapporteurs, Coordinators, “START” Team & MARS Group – Stockholm, 9-11 June 2010
The CB Scheme In recognition of the need to facilitate international trade in electrotechnical equipment, and components primarily intended for use in homes, offices, workshops healthcare facilities and similar locations, for benefit of consumers, industries, authorities etc, and to provide convenience for manufacturers and other users of the services provided by various National Certification Bodies (NCBs), an international Scheme is operated by the IECEE (IEC System for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrotechnical Equipment and Components), known as the CB Scheme. Meeting of WP 6 Bureau, Rapporteurs, Coordinators, “START” Team & MARS Group – Stockholm, 9-11 June 2010
The CB Scheme The CB Scheme is based on the principle of a “ de jure” mutual recognition (reciprocal acceptance) by its members of test results for obtaining certification or approval at national level. The CB Scheme in the last decade has naturally evolved into a system that is « de facto » accepted by numerous Countries’ Authorities as the passport to entry the various market places Meeting of WP 6 Bureau, Rapporteurs, Coordinators, “START” Team & MARS Group – Stockholm, 9-11 June 2010
The CB Scheme The Scheme is intended to reduce obstacles to international trade which arise from having to meet different national certification or approval criteria. Participation of the worldwide NCBs within the Scheme is intended to facilitate certification or approval according to IEC standards. Meeting of WP 6 Bureau, Rapporteurs, Coordinators, “START” Team & MARS Group – Stockholm, 9-11 June 2010
The CB Scheme Where national standards are not yet completely based on IEC standards, declared national differences will be taken into account; however, successful operation of the Scheme presupposes that national standards are reasonably harmonized with the corresponding IEC standards. Meeting of WP 6 Bureau, Rapporteurs, Coordinators, “START” Team & MARS Group – Stockholm, 9-11 June 2010
The CB Scheme Use of the Scheme to its fullest extent will promote the exchange of information necessary in assisting manufacturers around the world to obtain certification or direct acceptance in the global markets Meeting of WP 6 Bureau, Rapporteurs, Coordinators, “START” Team & MARS Group – Stockholm, 9-11 June 2010
