CB certification is an international certification system based on the IEC standard, which provides globally recognized CB certificates for electrical products by unifying the testing and certification process. Issued by an authorized Certification Body, the IECEE CB scheme certification simplifies product entry into multiple country markets.
CB certification applies to a variety of batteries, such as lithium and nickel batteries, to ensure safety and compliance with international standards. Through the IECEE CB scheme, battery products can undergo a single test that supports multiple applications, making export and certification transfer more convenient.
meet global standards to deliver reliable, safe batteries
break trade barriers and enable rapid access to multi-country markets
avoid repetitive tests to save time and money
streamline the process and shorten the time-to-market cycle
The IECEE CB scheme certification is an international system established by the IEC, providing globally recognized CB Certification for batteries and electrical products. Its “one test, accepted everywhere” principle allows safety results from accredited Certification Bodies to be mutually recognized, promoting international trade.
By obtaining a CB certificate and test report, manufacturers ensure product safety compliance, gain recognition in other member countries, and can export directly or transfer certifications, such as converting to Korea’s KC certificate. The IECEE CB scheme simplifies testing and certification processes, giving battery manufacturers a reliable pathway to global market access.
The IECEE CB Scheme Certification is an international system for mutual recognition of test results and CB Certificates on the safety of electrical and electronic products. Based on a multilateral agreement between participating countries and certification bodies, it facilitates global trade by making it easier for manufacturers to obtain country-specific certificates. MCM supports manufacturers through the entire CB process, ensuring compliance and smooth international market access.
The CB procedure relies on international IEC and CISPR standards. Where national standards differ, deviations can be considered if formally reported to the IECEE secretariat. Through IECEE CB scheme certification, MCM ensures that products meet both international standards and any special national requirements, streamlining global compliance.
National Certification Bodies (NCBs) from each member country of the IECEE can participate, provided their national standards align with IEC standards. Accredited certification bodies issue CB certificates after on-site audits and compliance verification under ISO/IEC 17065.
The IECEE CB scheme covers a wide range of electrical products, including:
