The certification bodies of IECEE member states test the safety performance of electrical products based on IEC standards. The test results are CB test reports and CB systems. The system of mutual recognition of test certificates in IECEE member countries. Up to now, a total of 66 certification bodies in 51 countries and more than 270 CB laboratories under them have participated in this mutual appointment system.

IECEE is the abbreviation of International Electrotechnical Commission Electrotechnical Product Qualification Testing and Certification Organization
The role of CB
After the enterprise obtains the CB certificate from one of the certification bodies, due to the mutual recognition agreement, it can no longer conduct repeated tests, but only do report audits and supplementary tests or national difference tests, and then it can be converted into the safety certification certificate of other member states.
