PRODUCT CERTIFICATION: CB

The IECEE-CB or CB system is the worldwide certification system for the area of electrotechnical products. This is an agreement on recognition of test results in accordance with IEN international standards for electrical safety of electrotechnical products. It is one of the oldest working systems of mutual recognition of test results in the area of electrical safety of products. The most significant certification authorities from more than 36 countries of the world belong to its members. This system takes into consideration also specific national variations for individual member countries. Tests according to these variations may be included the tests and ensure that the final certificate would be accepted without any problems by other members of the CB system.
The CB Certificate together with the test certificate issued by our institution are accepted in testing laboratories of all member countries of this system and considerably facilitate obtaining the certificates and marks issued by foreign testing laboratories, because the manufacturer undertakes all tests only once.
The CB system covers the following 14 product categories:
- Safety transformers
- Household appliances and appliances for commercial use
- Electric medical devices
- Electrical hand tools
- Installation material and connecting elements
- Installation protective devices
- Cables and conductors
- Condensers
- Measurement and laboratory instruments
- Switching equipment
- Switches for appliances and automatic switches
- Consumer electronics
- Lighting appliances and their components
- Products of computer technology and office machinery
Benefits of the CB Certificate:
- Cost and time saving when exporting to member states of these systems, and not only to them
- It is easy to obtain national certification marks of the system members
- This certificate facilitates manufacturers their export to many countries of four continents
- After obtaining the certificate and passing additional tests, it is possible to acquire further internationally acknowledged certificates CCA, ENEC.
- The manufacturer has created the basis for issuance of Statement of Conformance both in accordance with the Order-in-council No. 17/2003Coll., and also according to EU Directives (Directives No. 73/23/EEC) - CE Marking. (It is only necessary to carry out complementary tests covering variations between IEC and EN standards, if applicable.

- Sending the basic product-related technical information:
- Technical description
- Wiring diagrams
- Technical drawings
- Manufacturing type label
- List of all electric components in the following division: kind, type, technical characteristics, standard used for testing, testing organization
- Certificates or confirmation on tests of accredited persons for critical electrical components - switches, condensers, leads, transformers, and the like
- Operating instructions
- Sending a product sample (samples)
- Sending the complete manufacturer's address
- Sending the list of countries to which the product is to be exported - in order to take into consideration particular national variations during testing - it is not necessary but recommended
On the part of EZU:
