IECEE stands for "The IEC System for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrical Equipment"-"International Electrotechnical Commission's organization for conformity testing and certification of electrical products."

The official name of the CB system is "Scheme of the IECEE for Mutual Recognition of Test Certificates for Electrical Equipment"-"IECEE Mutual Recognition of Test Certificates for Electrical Products".

The abbreviated name of the CB system means “Certification Bodies’ Scheme”-“Certification Bodies’ Scheme”.

The CB system (IEC system for conformity testing and certification of electrical products) is an international system operated by IECEE. The certification bodies of each member country of IECEE test the safety performance of electrical products on the basis of IEC standards. The test results are the CB test report and CB The test certificate is a system of mutual recognition among the member states of IECEE. The purpose is to reduce international trade barriers due to the need to meet the certification or approval criteria of different countries.

CB certification is only for sample testing. If the foreign certification mark is converted, a factory inspection is required. The CB certificate must be presented at the same time as the CB test report to be valid. When applying for a CB certificate, the applicant should first explain to the CQC and CBTL the country/region to be exported, so that the certification body can help understand the country’s standard differences, arrange the difference experiment in time, and avoid the applicant from the foreign certification body/test Institutions will do additional experiments when applying, postpone the accreditation process and invest more costs.

CB certification is applicable in the member states of the CB system, covering developed countries and most developing countries around the world.


The CE mark is applicable to 28 European countries including the European Union. CB certification only covers safety requirements. Even if the CB certification includes EU differences, if the product is also covered by other EU directives (such as electromagnetic compatibility EMC, machinery directives, etc.), its CB certification cannot indicate that it has conformed to the CE mark. The requirements can only indicate that the product has met the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) of the CE mark. The CE mark cannot be affixed to the product, and relevant electromagnetic compatibility and EMC tests must be supplemented.

The CE mark contains multiple directives, but when the product is only applicable to the Low Voltage Directive (LVD), the CB certification including EU differences proves that it has met the requirements of the CE mark, so companies can paste the CE mark on the product.
