▍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.

As early as July 26, 2022, the Indian Association of Industries put forward a proposal for parallel testing of mobile phones, wireless headphones and headsets as a way to shorten the time to market.In reference to Registration/Guidelines RG: 01 dated 15 December 2022 regarding ‘Guidelines for Grant of Licence (GoL) as per the Conformity Assessment Scheme-II of Schedule-II of BIS (Conformity
Assessment) Regulation, 2018’, BIS issued new guidelines for parallel testing of electronic products covered under the Compulsory Registration Scheme (CRS) on December 16. As a more active consumer product, mobile phone will run parallel testing first in the first half of 2023. On December 19, BIS updated the guidelines to correct the date.On December 20th, the American Consumer Product Safety Committee (CPSC) posted an article on its website calling on manufacturers of electric scooters, balance scooters, electric bicycles and electric unicycles to audit their products to ensure they meet established voluntary safety standards, or they may face enforcement action.
The CPSC sent statement letters to more than 2,000 manufacturers and importers stating that failing to comply with applicable UL safety standards (ANSI/CAN/UL 2272 – Standard for Personal Electric Vehicle Electrical Systems, and ANSI/CAN/UL 2849 – Standard for Electric Bicycle Electrical Systems Safety, and their referenced standards) could pose a risk of fire, serious injury or death to consumers; and that product compliance with relevant UL standards can significantly reduce the risk of injury or death caused by fire in micro-mobility devices.
