As a multilateral mutual recognition system established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IECEE), CB certification covers 54 member countries around the world. Different from a single national certification, it greatly reduces the technical barriers for enterprises to enter different markets through the mechanism of "one test, multi-country recognition". Taking sweeper batteries as an example, after passing CB certification, they can be directly converted to regional certifications such as EU CE and US UL, saving more than 60% of repeated testing costs.
Certification application list
Enterprises need to prepare three types of core documents:
1. Technical documents: including circuit diagram, BOM list, CB certificate of key component supplier (such as battery, protection board)
2, test sample: provide fully assembled battery pack and independent cell 5 groups, need to attach UN38.3 transportation certification report
3, quality system certification: ISO9001 certificate, production process flow chart and key quality control point description
Complete the certification process in five steps
1. Pre-evaluation stage: the laboratory conducts structural inspection and parameter comparison of the sample
2, difference test: according to the target national standards to supplement temperature rise, drop and other special tests
3. Document review: Expert teams check the integrity and compliance of technical documents
4. Factory review: on-site verification of the consistency of mass production equipment and samples submitted
5. Certificate issuance: The average cycle is controlled within 45 working days
Certification brings three major dividends
1. Market expansion accelerator: Fast access to emerging markets such as the EU and Southeast Asia
2. Brand premium increase: According to statistics, the premium space of products with CB logo can reach 15%-20%
Risk prevention and control barriers: Failure mode analysis (FMEA) during the certification process can detect 80% of design defects in advance
Standing in the outlet of the explosive growth of smart home, CB certification is not only a technical threshold, but also an important fulcrum of enterprise globalization strategy. When consumers tap the APP to start the sweeping machine, the thin certification is guarding the safety bottom line of each family, and also promoting China's intelligent manufacturing to a broader world stage.
