IEC & IECEE CB Scheme
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization, founded in 1906.
The IEC's members are National Committees, and they appoint experts and delegates comingfrom industry, government bodies, associations and academia to participate in the technicaland conformity assessment work of the IEC. Current membership 60 full members, 21associate members total 81 nations. (Source: http://www.iec.ch )
The IECEE CB Scheme is the world's first truly international system for mutual acceptanceof test reports and certificates dealing with the safety of electrical and electroniccomponents, equipment and products. It is a multilateral agreement among participatingcountries and certification organizations. A manufacturer utilizing a CB test certificateissued by one of the accepted National Certification Bodies (NCBs) can obtain certificationmarks of the latter, within their scope of adherence, in the countries where the acceptedNCBs are located. (source: http://www.iecee.org/cbscheme/cbfunct.pdf )
China Regulatory requirement on the CB Scheme can be found in the following website:http://members.iecee.org/IECEE/IECEEMembers.nsf/0/EF47ED57B7C7F975C12572F1003BE86F/$file/china-rr.pdf

Low Voltage Cable
450/750V and 300/500V Low Voltage Cable
-Mainly is the non-armoured polyvinyl chloride(PVC) insulated cables in Hong Kong-The cable mainly divides into two types: buildingwires and flexible cables-Building wires use for electric power,lightning, internal wiring-Flexible cables use for electrical appliances andequipment in domestic, especially using in multi-socket
PVC insulated 450/750V Cable
Fix Installation 600/1000V Cable
-This type of cable uses in fixed installations in industrialareas, buildings and similar applications-The cable is usually PVC or XLPE insulation-The different types of fix installation cable have similarconstruction but different bedding and oversheathmaterial are used

Instrumentation/ Data Cable
Instrumentation Cable
-The cable is single-core insulated and non-sheathed, there are three most popular typesof cables (UL 1015, Tri-rated Cable andHeat Resisting 90oC Cable)UL 1015 UL 1015 cable is certified by UL and CSA and usually uses
in computer and electronic instrument, UL 1015 is theappliance wire material that has much lower tensile strengthand higher elongation.
Tri-rated Cable The cable is certified by UL, CSA and usually uses inelectronic instrument.
BS6231 HeatingResisting 90
oC
The cable is certified by BASEC. It is used for the wiring ofswitch, control, metering, relay and instrument panels ofpower switchgear, and for such purposes as internalconnections in rectifier equipment and in motor starters andcontrollers.
87
Instrumentation Cable (continued)
-Some tests that are required by the BS6231 CR and CK typeheat resisting 90oC are not required by UL1015 cable
-One of the test (Thermal stability test) of the CR and CKtype cable is not required by UL 1015 cable.
-Thermal stability test is to investigate the insulation materialthermal stability times under 200oC for changing an universalindicating paper from a pH value of 5 to a pH value of 3. Theminimum time taken should be 240 minutes

Cable Testing CategoryType Tests (symbol T)
Tests made before supplying, on a general commercial basis, a type of cablecovered by this standard, in order to demonstrate satisfactory performancecharacteristics to meet the intended applicationNote: These tests are of such a nature that, after they have been made, they need not be repeated unlesschanges are made in the cable materials or design or manufacturing process which might change theperformance characteristics.
Sample Tests (symbol S)
Tests made on samples of completed cable, or components taken from acompleted cable adequate to verify that finished product meets the designspecifications.
