▍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.

● Certification and testing capability: MCM is among the first patch of testing and certification third party for IEC62133 standard, and has finished more than 7000 battery IEC62133 testing and CB reports for global clients.

● 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.

BIS issued on October 1 the matters that need special attention in documents and test reports when
submitting applications. We summarize the contents as follows:
i. Emphasized that both laboratories and manufacturers must ensure the compliance, accuracy and
completeness of the formal report before uploading the report, which is intended to combat the behavior
of arbitrarily revising the original report;
ii. If the reported product category, product name, brand and model do not match the test request, the
original test request needs to be cancelled before the test starts to generate a new and correct test
request;
iii. As part of the test report, the label needs to ensure that its parameters are consistent with the test
request; and the label and critical component information should be fully considered (for the related items
in the early stage, such as whether the battery used in the battery has been registered) after the
registration status and parameters submit;
iv. Under the product category SEALED SECONDARY CELLS/BATTERIES CONTAINING ALKALINE OR OTHER
NON-ACID ELECTROLYTES FOR USE IN PORTABLE APPLICATIONS, batteries and batteries will be separately
certified; and li-ion and li-polymer batteries/batteries will not be separately granted R number (same
manufacturer and same brand), but different types of cells/batteries cannot be reflected in the same series.
For example, in the report of li-ion battery, cell electrolyte type of the main model and series model must
be li-ion, cannot be mixed with li-polymer type.
v. Although the test standard for both keyboards and wireless keyboards is IS 13252-1, they are two
different product categories at the time of registration and cannot be placed in the same certificate.
