CAG – Chairman’s Advisory Group

The Chairman’s Advisory Group is essentially composed by the Officers, the CTL Chairman and CMC delegates that are requested to advise on topics of interest for the overall IECEE Community


AAG – Assessment Advisory Group

AAG Members are formally appointed by the Management Committee

TERMS OF REFERENCE To monitor the Peer Assessment and Re-assessment

To determine common understanding and approach on ISO/IEC Guide 65 and ISO/IEC 17025

To evaluate the Assessment Reports of candidate NCBs and CBTLs and make recommendations to the IECEE-CMC


Administered Globally by the IECEE Secretariat in Geneva using a registered pool of International Lead Assessors and Technical Assessors located in 43 different countries.

PEER ASSESSMENTS in the CB Scheme

Well-founded “Mutual Confidence” is needed for NCBs to grant their Certification Mark on the basis of the review of Test Results without repeat testing; this is what Peer Assessments achieve.


The evaluations made by QMS and Technical Experts, employed by the Organisations’ Members of the IECEE, ensure that the Members’ Certification Bodies and Testing Laboratories are competent in the processing of Conformity Assessment activities against essentially ISO/IEC Guide 65 and ISO/IEC 17025.

CTL - Committee of Testing Laboratories

The CTL is the Technical branch of the IECEE and plays an essential role to build confidence.

•Composed by experts from 200 Testing Laboratories and 60 Certification Bodies



The main tasks of the CTL are to:

•detail the way in which the tests related to the IECEE have to be carried out so as to achieve the necessary reproducibility of test results,

•harmonize the design and use of the test equipment referred to in standards and to make recommendations to the relevant technical committee or subcommittee of the IEC for improvements of those standards,

•provide testing laboratories with a forum in which practical testing problems can be demonstrated and discussed



The task of the CTL is to:

•Organize Proficiency Testing Programmes under the auspices of the IECEE CMC

•Organize Workshops to analyze the results of PT programmes and subsequent test methodology to achieve consistent test results

•Carry out other technical work as directed by the CMC.


MANUFACTURER TESTING LABORATORIES - MTLs

Manufacturer Testing Laboratories can also be accepted to operate within the IECEE under the responsible Certification Body NCB under strict rules and conditions.

Summary of the operations of the CB Scheme


AIM OF THE CB Scheme

The aim of the CB Scheme is to provide Manufacturers seeking worldwide third party certification marks, the most economic and cost effective procedures within the best certification time frame.


Highlights of CB Scheme

• Reciprocal recognition of test results among all participating Certification Bodies, to simplify granting of certification or approval at national levels.

• CB Test Certificates and associated Test Reports facilitates obtaining secondary certifications.

• The CB Scheme is the only internationally recognized scheme for the safety of electrical equipment used in homes, offices, workshops and similar locations.

• Products are tested to IEC standards with provision for supplementary testing for national differences.


Advantages of CB Scheme

• More rapid testing and certification• More universal product recognition• Acceleration of Product Acceptance• Direct acceptance by the Authorities in many countries• Direct acceptance by the Retailers and Buyers• Expanded markets• Faster product movement from plants to markets


IECEE CB Scheme

• 19 product categories ranging from Information Technology and electronic equipment, household, medical equipment, lighting to EMC, and Photovoltaics but 60% of activity is concentrated in these three areas:

– Household appliances– Office & IT equipment– Electronics / entertainment


Market changes – Increasing flow of goods

• GLOBAL MARKETS• INCREASING HARMONIZATION OF PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS• WORLDWIDE ACCEPTANCE OF TEST RESULTS• TODAY’S CERTIFICATION SERVICES ADEQUATE?


Time to Market is essential

• In Manufacturing and Trade every day counts• Buyers, Users and Governments need

assurance of compliance

Popularly known as Chinese RoHS, this order is similar in intent to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive in the European Community and seeks to protect human health and the environment by controlling the use and disposal of certain toxic substances found in electronics.

However, the exact provisions and steps required for compliance differ considerably from the European directive.

Safety Requirements plus…

… EMC requirements …Ergonomic, Hygienic requirements


Because Globalization and competition are leading to rapid changes, technical barriers to trade remain a serious problem and the industry is anxious about time to market, the shortening life cycle of products and the need to reduce costs…

The CB Scheme offers de facto the true “passport” for the needs of different countries.

The CB Scheme answers de facto the market needs to have a Test Certificate tailored to be recognized worldwide.

The CB Scheme, in its fullest extent, proves de facto that certification and testing costs can be reduced through the use of... one stop testing.

The right Passport to access worldwide market

Thank you for your attention.
