▍What is CB Certification?

IECEE CB is the first genuine international system for mutual recognition of electrical equipment safety test reports. NCB (National Certification Body) reaches a multilateral agreement, which enables manufacturers to obtain national certification from other member countries under CB scheme on the basis of transferring one of the NCB certificates.

CB certificate is a formal CB scheme document issued by authorized NCB, which is to inform other NCB that the tested product samples conform to present standard requirement.

As a kind of standardized report, CB report lists relevant requirements from IEC standard item by item. CB report not only provides results of all required testing, measurement, verification, inspection and assessment with clearness and non-ambiguity, but also including photos, circuit diagram, pictures and product description. According to the rule of CB scheme, CB report will not take effect until it presents with CB certificate together.

▍Why we need CB Certification?

  1. Directly recognized or approved by member countries

With CB certificate and CB test report, your products can be exported to some countries directly.

  1. Convert to other countries certificates

The CB certificate can be directly converted to the certificate of its member countries, by providing the CB certificate, test report and difference test report (when applicable) without repeating the test, which can shorten the lead time of certification.

  1. Ensure the Safety of Product

The CB certification test considers the product’s reasonable use and foreseeable safety when misused. The certified product proves the satisfactory of the safety requirements.

▍Why MCM? 

● Qualification: MCM is the first authorized CBTL of IEC 62133 standard qualification by TUV RH in mainland China.

● Technical support: MCM possesses more than 15 technical engineers specialized in testing as per IEC 62133 standard. MCM provides clients with comprehensive, accurate, closed-loop type of technical support and leading-edge information services.

Australian government has officially released implementation of 4 compulsory standards to minimize causality risk resulted from button/coin batteries. The compulsory standards with transitional period of 18 months will be enforced from June 22, 2022.The above 4 standards have prescribed safety and information requirements of button/coin batteries and goods containing button/coin batteries, which include:
1、Safety and Requirements In reasonable and foreseeable or abuse use, button/coin cells should not fall off. Doors or lids of battery case or other firmware to stabilize button/coin batteries should be fixed tightly.
Battery case of button/coin batteries should be fixed enough to avoid children from opening
1)Warnings in upper case such as DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION;
2)Safety warning conformity;
3)The declaration of batteries out of reach of children;
4) Provided it is lithium battery, marking should declare that in case battery is swallowed or ingested in
any body part, severe or deadly injury will occur in 2 hours or even shorter time;
5)Provided it is not lithium battery, marking should declare possible injuries resulted from swallowing or
ingesting battery in any body part.
6)Suggestion of immediate medical care if in suspicion of swallowing or ingesting battery in any body part.
