CB Scheme

The The CB scheme This is an international system created within theInternational Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for conformity assessment of electrical and electronic products and components, which facilitates, among other things, the recognition of testing carried out between different bodies of recognised prestige in order to obtain their marks of conformity.

AENOR is a signatory to this multilateral agreement. CB Scheme, in which countries from five continents participate. Currently there are over 54 Countries.

What is a CB Certificate?

It is a certificate issued by a national certification body (NCB) that is a member of the scheme after the products at issue have been tested.

AENOR can currently issue CB Certificates for:

• Electrical safety
• Electromagnetic compatibility
• Energy efficiency household appliances

AENOR has recently extended the scope of its activities within the framework of the IECEE/CB agreement for standards related to cables in electric cars and photovoltaic systems for which a detailed list of standards is given below. 

• Household appliancesin accordance with IEC 60335 series Standards
• Lamps and associated productsin compliance with Standards IEC60598,IEC61347,IEC61558
• ​Switchgear and small electrical equipmentin accordance with Standards IEC 60669, IEC 60730, IEC 60884, IEC 60898, IEC 60998, IEC 61008, IEC 61009, IEC 61058, IEC 61386, IEC61439, IEC 61537, IEC 61643
• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), in accordance with Standards CISPR 11, CISPR 12, CISPR 12, CISPR 13, CISPR 14, CISPR 15, CISPR 22, CISPR 24, CISPR 32, IEC 60601, IEC 60000-3-2, IEC 60000-3-3, IEC 60000-3-11, IEC 60000-3-12, IEC 60000-4-2, IEC 60000-4-3, IEC 60000-4-4
