IEC

Applying for an IEC CB Scheme test certificate with SGS can reduce the need for multiple testing and certifications against electrical standards. This scheme promotes the harmonization of national standards with an international standard. IEC aims to bring the idea of a “one product, one test, one mark” system closer to realization.

The CB Scheme is the International Electrotechnical Commission’s (IEC) system for the testing and certification of electrical equipment (IECEE). Recognized in more than 70 countries the scheme has been established for more than 30 years.

As a designated National Certification Body (NCB) we can help you with the preparation of CB Test Reports and Certification enabling your products to demonstrate compliance to relevant standards across the IEC CB scheme countries. Meeting the relevant IEC specification improves safety and the marketability of your product.
