Looking for an IEC-authorized testing house that tests on the basis of the global standard? Do you want a recognized test report that’s respected everywhere and demonstrates that your products comply with these criteria? And do you also want this testing house to take regional differences into consideration? Then KEMA is the place for you. A CB certification issued by KEMA opens doors that would otherwise remain closed! 

IECEE has authorized KEMA as a testing house to issue CB Certificates. KEMA tests your electrical equipment and components according to the IEC standards and the result is set down in the CB certification. This gives your product easy access to the markets of the 45 countries affiliated with the IECEE. And you can claim the national certification marks from these countries without drastic retesting.

CB certification: skeleton key to the global market

The popularity of the CB certification is growing even more now that the North American markets are also more in step with the IEC Standard. It is a direct result of the globalization of trade. A CB certification gives you faster and easier access to numerous regional markets. 

If you indicate in advance which countries you export to, KEMA takes the deviations from the IEC Standard that prevail there into account. The affiliated countries then accept the test results and you avoid unnecessary retesting. The CB Certificate schedule is the first and only international system of mutual recognition of the test results of the affiliated testing agencies.
