▍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?
- Directly recognized or approved by member countries
With CB certificate and CB test report, your products can be exported to some countries directly.
- 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.
- 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.

International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) is the most significant rule of maritime dangerous goods transport, which plays an important role in safeguarding the transport of shipborne dangerous goods and preventing the pollution of marine environment. International Maritime Organization (IMO) makes an amendment on IMDG CODE every two years. The new edition of IMDG CODE (41-22) will be implemented from January 1st, 2023. There is a 12-month transitional period from January 1st, 2023 to December 31st, 2023. The following is the comparison between IMDG CODE 2022 (41-22) and IMDG CODE 2020 (40-20).Part P003/P408/P801/P903/P909/P910 of the package instruction adds that authorized net mass of the pack can surpass 400kg.Part P911 of the packing instruction (applicable to damaged or deficient batteries transported as per UN 3480/3481/3090/3091) adds new specific description of package usage. Package description shall at least include the following: labels of the batteries and the equipment in the pack, maximum quantity of the batteries and maximum amount of the battery energy and the configuration in the pack (including the separator and the fuse used in performance verification test). Additional requirements are the maximum quantity of the batteries, the equipment, total maximum energy and configuration in the pack (including the separator and the fuse of the components).As the leading transport in international logistics, maritime transport accounts for over 2/3 total traffic volume of international logistics. China is a big country of transporting shipborne dangerous goods and about 90% of import and export traffic volume is transported through shipping. Facing the increasing lithium battery market, we need to be familiar with the amendment of 41-22 to avoid the shock for normal transport caused by amendment.
MCM has obtained the CNAS certificate of IMDG 41-22 and can provide the shipping certificate according to the new requirement. If required, please contact the customer service or the sale staffs.
