  1. SEVAL Annual day, Bern 2010Colloque 4 Mr Pierre de Ruvo IECEE Executive Secretary

  2. The IEC/IECEE Tree Standards (Normes) Conformity Assessment (Evaluation de la conformité)

  3. Popular Standards used for certification

  4. What is the IEC • Founded in 1906 to promote international co-operation on all questions of standardization and related matters in the field of electrotechnology

  5. Mission statement IEC’s mission is to be globally recognized as the provider of standards and conformity assessment-related services needed to facilitate trade in the fields of electricity, electronics and associated technologies

  6. IEC mission • Encourage national adoption of international standards • Stimulate world trade and business by ensuring technical and market relevance of its products • Make results applicable and available for voluntary adoption world wide • Set the framework for Conformity Assessment in global markets

  7. Types of participation • IEC is a voluntary association of National Committees that fully represent electrotechnical interests in their countries • Government, industry, testing laboratories, academia, consumer groups… • Membership – one member per country • Members (59) • Associate members (22) • Affiliate Country programme • 81 participants

  8. IEC Membership – 81 members AM = Associate member

  13. National Committees – what they are • Represents all interests in country • Industry • Government and regulators • Academia • Users • “Mirror” committees • Correspond to IEC TC/SCs of interest • Review documents • Create national position / vote • Adoption of International Standards

  14. National Committees – their role • Support the use of IEC conformity assessment schemes and standards within each nation and region, including translation • Coordinate each nation’s consensus viewpoint and present in IEC via participation in the meetings • International consensus standards development, • Conformity assessment scheme operations, and • IEC governance • Members may vote on all policy issues and technical matters – one country, one vote

  15. Rights of IEC Participants

  16. IEC programmes • Efficiently meet requirements of global market • Ensure primacy and world-wide use of standards and conformity assessment schemes • Assess and improve quality of products and services covered by standards • Permit interoperability of complex systems • Increase efficiency of industrial processes • Contribute to improvement of human health and safety • Contribute to protection of the environment

  17. Strategic use of International Standards… • Reduce transaction costs due to less testing & product modifications • Overcome barriers for trade & access broader markets, faster • Reduce costly mistakes • …increase business efficiency! 17

  18. Participation in standardization… • Reduce costs for standards development • Give products a better chance to succeed • Benefit from existing know-how • …provides a competitive edge! 18

  19. Better and safer products… • Reflect best experience • Cover common needs and provide guidance • Support regulatory policies • Facilitate trade • …standards support good regulatory practice! 19

  20. International Standards… • Basis for conformity assessment • Promote safety & consumer confidence • Stimulate economic growth & development • …promote technology transfer ! 20

  21. Conformity Assessment: Test Report 21

  22. Conformity Assessment: Certificates 22

  23. IEC Conformity Assessment Structure CONFORMITY ASSESSMENT BOARD IECEx Scheme for explosive environments IECEE System for conformity testing and certification of Electrotechnical equipment and components IECQ Quality assessment system for electronic components CB Scheme Mutual recognition of test results CB FCS(full certification, including assessing QMS & Factory Audit/Inspection)

  27. The CB Scheme • The CB Scheme is based on the principle of mutual recognition (reciprocal acceptance) by its members of test results for obtaining certification or approval at national level. • 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.

  28. The Ideal Target One test One certification One mark

  29. Today’s reality is… One test One international certificate One or more marks as needed

  30. Today’s reality is also… • One test • One international certificate • Direct acceptance by the market place e.g. Regulators, Retailers, Buyers, Vendors
