CB
Scheme
TÜV Product Service provides CB Scheme certification for a number
of product categories, including lighting fixtures, tools, household and
entertainment electronics, IT and office equipment (OFF), laboratory,
test and measurement and electrical equipment for medical use.
As a member of the
international CB Scheme, TÜV Product Service provides services from our
laboratories in Germany, United Kingdom and the United States.
In the United States, TÜV Product Service is one of a few U.S. based members
of the CB Scheme, with its Massachusetts and California facilities providing
testing to IEC 950 (IT and Office Equipment (OFF)). This accreditation
provides clients the ability to gain global market acceptance by utilizing
one U.S. based laboratory to test their IT and office equipment to IEC
950, receiving CB certification that is accepted by over 40 member countries.
After successful
testing with TÜV Product Service, a CB certificate with a CB test report
is issued. With this internationally valid certificate, manufacturers
can apply to any CB Scheme member worldwide to receive their national
certification mark. In addition, the test results of these National Certification
Bodies are recognized in many countries that are not members of the CB
Scheme.
About the CB Scheme
The International
CB Scheme was created to assist manufacturers in gaining rapid approval
for foreign markets, which is vital to marketing a product globally. To
overcome international trade barriers for electrotechnical equipment,
the leading electrotechnical testing organizations worldwide joined together
to form the CB Scheme (Certification Bodies). The result was the formation
of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) CB Scheme.
Today, National Certification
Bodies recognize each other's test results when issuing national certification
marks. With over 27,000 CB Scheme certificates issued globally in 2002,
manufacturers are saving time and money in accessing new markets with
testing completed by one member of the CB Scheme, which will then be accepted
by over 40 member countries.
