Update time : 2025-06-12

Scope of cb certified Products:

The CB scheme covers products that fall within the scope of IEC standards recognized by the IECEE system. Generally, this includes electrical devices powered by AC and electronic/electrical products powered by DC (batteries).

 

- Household Appliances:

Rice cookers, refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, electric kettles, water heaters, printers, fresh air systems, etc.

 

- Lighting and LED Drivers:

Ceiling lights, garden lights, floodlights, desk lamps, etc.

 

- Audio-Visual Equipment:

Headphones, TVs, monitors, speakers, cameras, projectors, etc.

 

- Information Technology Equipment:

Mobile phones, computers, switches, servers, set-top boxes, smart bands and watches, etc.

 

- Switching Power Supplies:

Switch controllers, adapters, DC power supplies (batteries, etc.)

 

> Note:Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is not included in the CB scheme unless specifically required by the IEC standard used.

Required Documentation for cb certification:

1. Product User Manual (in English)

2. Safety Design Documents (including key structural drawings showing creepage distance, clearance, insulation layers and thickness)

3. Product Technical Specifications (or company standards)

4. Electrical Schematic Diagram

5. Circuit Diagram

6. List of Key Components or Raw Materials (preferably with EU/US certification marks)

7. Copies of Certificates for the Whole Unit or Key Components

 

> Note:Under normal testing conditions, CB certification typically takes 4–6 weeks.

 

Important Notes for CB Certification of Household Appliances:

1. Components used in the product must be certified (e.g., wires with VDE certification, components with UL, CCC/CQC certifications).

2. For different countries, CB certification may require deviation testing(to account for national differences in standards, such as voltage and frequency). Confirm the export destination country before applying.

3. CB certification is stricter than CE certification. Product samples must be well-prepared.

4. CB certification does not require a factory audit.

5. The cb test report will detail all tests, measurements, validations, inspections, and evaluations clearly and unambiguously. It also includes photos, circuit diagrams, images, and product descriptions. Therefore, ensure the submitted documentation is accurate and complete, or the certification may fail.
