  1. Using the CB Scheme to Accessthe World Marketplace Presented By: John O’Donnell Safety Lab Program Coordinator, MET Laboratories, Inc. MET Laboratories, Inc. Certifying the World, One Product at a Time

  2. Introduction to MET • Founded in 1959 • The first NRTL in the United States • Accredited by SCC for certification in Canada • Accredited by A2LA for product safety testing • Approved in over 200 product categories • Recognized by all major retailers • Single-source laboratory with locations around the world • Responsive with real-time project tracking. • Also in 1992, MET became a National Certification Body (NCB) in the IECEE CB Scheme. MET Laboratories, Inc. Certifying the World, One Product at a Time 800-637-6058 www.METLabs.com

  3. Who/What is the IECEE? • International Electrotechnical Commission for Electrical Equipment (IECEE): Worldwide System for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrotechnical Equipment and Components. • The CB Scheme was designed in recognition with the need to reduce barriers for international trade. • The scheme is based on the principal of mutual recognition of testing and acceptance of the results to meet national requirements. • Reduce obstacles to international trade which arise from having to meet different national certification or approval criteria. MET Laboratories, Inc. Certifying the World, One Product at a Time 800-637-6058 www.METLabs.com

  4. IECEE.org • Great website for all information about how the IECEE works, Operational Documents. • List of NCB’s, and their Test Labs. • Information for manufacturers, faqs, different programs available. • Regulatory Requirements Section. MET Laboratories, Inc. Certifying the World, One Product at a Time 800-637-6058 www.METLabs.com

  5. Who Participates in the CB Scheme? • Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Colombia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Republic of Korea, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom and the United States. • Over 50 countries! MET Laboratories, Inc. Certifying the World, One Product at a Time 800-637-6058 www.METLabs.com

  6. CB Scheme’s Added Value • Purpose of the CB Scheme is to gain global access. While not automatic access to all participants, it greatly helps access by reducing time to market and certification costs. • IECEE is a quality organization that audits each and every National Certification Body (NCB), Certification Body Testing Laboratory (CBTL) and Associated Certification Testing Laboratory (ACTL) to qualify them as a quality organization. This is how applicants/manufacturers can ensure that what they are getting is a quality, unbiased assessment of their equipment. Base standard for this is ISO 17025. MET Laboratories, Inc. Certifying the World, One Product at a Time 800-637-6058 www.METLabs.com

  7. CB Scheme’s Added Value (Cont.) • ISO 17025 accreditation. • CBTL’s are required to be impartial. • CB ‘Peer’ Audits. • Ensures Lab Quality. MET Laboratories, Inc. Certifying the World, One Product at a Time 800-637-6058 www.METLabs.com

  8. Example of CB Scheme Added Value (Cont.) • Example of how the CB Scheme works. Computer manufacturer in Japan. • Prior to the CB Scheme, there were significantly more in-country testing requirements. • Will not automatically be accepted for National Certifications and additional Conditions may apply but usually are minimal. Will go through in the next few slides. MET Laboratories, Inc. Certifying the World, One Product at a Time 800-637-6058 www.METLabs.com

  9. Country Specific Requirements for National Certifications • National Differences/Deviations • Additional Conditions may apply but usually are minimal. Some examples for these conditions are review of product sample, Factory Follow-up inspections or other regulatory requirements. • If you have any questions on a CB Scheme country’s requirements, IECEE.org will explain the regulatory requirements of each. MET Laboratories, Inc. Certifying the World, One Product at a Time 800-637-6058 www.METLabs.com

  10. Examples of National Differences/ Group Differences/ The CB Bulletin • Many EU countries issue National differences, even though they use the same base standard, countries may want to add something, or change something due to their National regulations. • US and Canada will have national differences that make up the difference between the IEC standard are the UL or CSA standards. MET Laboratories, Inc. Certifying the World, One Product at a Time 800-637-6058 www.METLabs.com

  11. US Participation in the CB Scheme: The US National Committee • The US is an IECEE participating country. Each country that participates will have a committee or group that acts on behalf of the country and its National Certification Bodies. In the US, it is the US National Committee (USNC). MET Laboratories, Inc. Certifying the World, One Product at a Time 800-637-6058 www.METLabs.com

  12. Receiving US and Canadian National Certifications through MET • MET can utilize another organization’s CB Report and Certificate to grant US and Canadian certifications as a “Recognizing NCB”. • OSHA regulates product safety in the US and the Standards Council of Canada in Canada. They allow for accredited labs to use CB Scheme data and evaluations to grant National Certifications. MET Laboratories, Inc. Certifying the World, One Product at a Time 800-637-6058 www.METLabs.com
