CB Scheme
This system includes testing; samples of the product
are assessed for conformity. The sampling is
representative of the entire product’s family. A
certificate of conformity is granted (CB Test
Certificate) to each product represented by the
sample.
This certification system includes the following:
a) sample(s) requested by the Certification Body - NCB;
b) determination of characteristics through testing the samples by
the Testing Laboratory - CBTL ;
c) evaluation of the Test Report;
d) Decision by the Certification Body - NCB;
e) CB Test Certificate.

Editor's Notes
Mr Chairman, Distinguished CAB Members and alternates, this presentation is to describe the organization, structure and process of the IECEE.
Pierre’s
Before starting the presentation i would like to hear about your impressions of the IECEE so i can have an idea of the image we portray and then if we have time left at the end we can discuss whether you have a clearer picture of our activities. So tell me what you think we do?
The IECEE is located at the Central Office in Geneva and is supported by the overall administrative resources of the IEC for the sake of efficiency and for the benefit of the IECEE Members and global parties.
The IECEE operates essentially two Schemes, the CB Scheme and the Full Certification Scheme.
The CB Scheme is based on the principle of mutual recognition (reciprocal acceptance) by its members of test results that may include when requested National Differences for obtaining certification or approval of products at the national level.
In addtion to type testing, Full Certification Scheme introduces assessment for the approval of the manufacturer ’s Quality Management System (QMS), regular surveillance through inspection of the manufacturer ’s factory QMS, and product quality plans and audit testing of samples from the factory. The CB-FCS Scheme is also based on the principle of mutual recognition of conformity assessment reports exchanged between two certification bodies (Body A and Body B) as the basis for approval or certification of products at the national level. The FCS Scheme includes both initial and ongoing assessments. For the Scheme to operate, Body A must have the competence to develop the conformity assessment report to the satisfaction of B, and B must have enough confidence in A to do likewise for A.
The IECEE Officers are the Chairman the Executive Secretary, the Vice Chairman and the Treasurer.
The Chairman the Vice-Chairman and the Treasurer are appointed for a period of three years by the CAB, on nomination by the CMC. They are immediately eligible twice for re-appointment in the same office, each time for a further period of three years.
The Secretary is appointed for a period of five years by the CAB, on nomination by the CMC. He is eligible for re-appointment without restriction.
The officers of the IECEE may make decisions in between CMC meetings, as specifically delegated to them by the CMC. They shall, in addition, carry out any other task(s) assigned to them by the CMC. Any decision on matters delegated to the officers shall be reported to the CMC within one month and recorded in the Minutes of the next CMC meeting.
The Members and alternates of the Board of appeal are appointed by the CMC. The responsibilities of the Board of Appeal are
to recommend a solution to any dispute referred to it with regard to the application of these basic rules, and
to recommend actions to be taken against NCBs and CBTLs on complaints received regarding potential infringements to the Rules that could compromise the credibility of the IECEE Schemes.
to report to the CMC, for appropriate action, any observations relating to the technical content of the standards accepted for use in the IECEE and their applications, that has become evident when investigating a dispute
The Assessment Advisory Group is composed by 9 elected members appointed by the CMC. The AAG is tasked to monitor the Peer Assessment and Re-assessment, to determine common understanding and approach on ISO/IEC Guide 65 and 17025 as well as to evaluate the Assessment Reports of candidate NCBs and CBTLs and make recommendations to the IECEE-CMC for final Approval.
The Assessment Advisory Group role is vital since it represents the best tool to build confidence among the Members.
The CTL is the technical branch of the IECEE, probably the largest forum for technical discussion represented by more than 180 testing laboratories. The CTL is tasked to
detail the way in which the tests related to the IECEE have to be carried out so as to achieve the necessary reproducibility of test results,
harmonize the design and use of the test equipment referred to in standards and to make recommendations to the relevant technical committee or subcommittee of the IEC for improvements of those standards,
provide testing laboratories with a forum in which practical testing problems can be demonstrated and discussed, and
carry out other technical work as directed by the CMC.
The CTL is today chaired by Joe Gryn

The CB Scheme, the worldwide Scheme and the passport to market electrotechnical products around the world.
In spite of the great success IECEE is monitoring the market to see if today’s services are adequate
Time to market is essential and in manufacturing and trade every day counts. This is why it is important that recognition of CB Test Certificates by the members is dealt with timely
The downstream process to seek a national mark leads the Applicant to submit an application to the NCB located in the country where the applicant wishes to market his product. In this example the CB Test Certificate is issued by JET Japan and the application to market in France is made to the French National Certification Body BV LCIE. LCIE based on the cbtc grants the NF mark and allows the Applicant to market the products in France.
The downstream process to seek direct acceptance by Retailers, buyers and vendors leads the Applicant to submit an application to the latter located in the country where the applicant wishes to market his product. In this example the CB Conformity Assessment Certificate is issued by CSA CANADA and the CAC and CAR is submitted and further accepted by local Retailers, buyers and vendors
Similarly the downstream process to seek direct acceptance by a National Regulator leads the Applicant to submit an application to the local Regulatory Authority in the country where the applicant wishes to market his product. In this example the CB Conformity Assessment Certificate is issued by TUV RH NA and the CAC and CAR is submitted and further accepted by local Regulatory Authority
The IECEE CB and CB- FCS Schemes benefit are appreciated worldwide by all parties. By manufacturers because it’s a passport to market their products in their targeted countries. By local authorities because imported electrical goods are safer. Users in the field because they have the assurance that the product has been tested and found in compliance with IEC standards.
The CB Scheme, the worldwide Scheme and the passport to market electrotechnical products around the world.
