Where can I get CB certification for home appliances?

The CB Certification System is a very convenient program where participating countries can mutually recognize each other's test results, usually requiring no additional testing beyond minor differences in detection among the countries. What is CB certification? How to apply for CB certification for household appliances?

International CB Certification Testing Scope:

1. Household appliances and similar equipment; Information Technology (IT) and office equipment

2. Electronic Entertainment (AV) Equipment; Lighting Equipment (Luminaires)

3. Electric Tools; Wires and Cables; Installation Accessories and Connecting Devices

4. Install protective equipment; capacitors; transformers and similar equipment

5. Appliance switches and automatic controllers; measuring instruments, laboratory equipment

6. Toys and Kids' Vehicles: electric toys, remote-controlled toys, etc.; Motors, Compressors: air conditioner/compressor, refrigerator compressor, various motors, etc.

7. Batteries and Chargers; Materials, Hazardous Substances, EU RoHS Directives, etc.

The role of CB Certification

1. Convertable international certification certificates

If you've already obtained a CB certificate, you can directly apply for certification in other countries. The certifying body of the applying country will review the CB test certificate and reports (including reports on national differences), and may require a small number of samples if necessary. If the review is successful, you will obtain the certification from that country without needing additional testing according to the regulations and procedures of the applying country.

2. Convertable to a China National Certification Certificate

Based on the CB test report and differential tests, issue a China National Product Certification Report, thereby obtaining mandatory or other voluntary certification certificates for electrical products in our country.

3. Directly recognized or approved by other countries

With the CB Test Certificate and CB Test Report, your products can be directly exported to certain countries.

4. Save costs and time

Before domestic enterprises apply for foreign certifications, if they apply for a CB Test Certificate domestically, as the testing is conducted in a domestic CB testing laboratory, it not only saves a significant amount on costs but also reduces the turnaround time for sample submission and document delivery, allowing domestic enterprises to obtain the CB Test Certificate more quickly.

5. Enhance the likelihood of product trial approval

If the company has already obtained a CB test certificate, the majority or all of the CB test results are recognized when applying for certifications in other countries, exempting or reducing the need for further sample testing, thereby saving time and costs; more importantly, the product has undergone a CB test domestically, increasing the likelihood of passing the differential test.
