Certifications

CB

The Certification Bodies (CB) Scheme is an international scheme operated by the IEC System for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrical Equipment (IECEE). Member countries of the IECEE test electrical product performance based on the IEC standards. The results, which are CB test reports and CB test certificates, are recognized by all countries within the IECEE. The CB scheme is designed for eliminating the international commerce barriers resulted from the compliance with certifications and approval guidelines of different countries.

The CB Scheme is formulated based on the IEC standard. If member countries' national standards are not completely consistent with IEC standards, the differences are allowed but must be disclosed to the other members. A CB test certificate is used in the Scheme to prove that a tested product sample has passed CB tests and meets related IEC and member countries' requirements.

CCC

China Compulsory Certification (CCC) is a three-in-one authoritative certification incorporating the Conformity Certification of Electrical Equipment (CCEE), the certificate for the safe license of import granted by China Commodity Inspection Bureau (CCIB), and Safety and Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC).

The CCC mainly involves the products related to human health and security, animal and plant life and health, environmental protection, and public security.

FCC

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorizes and manages all RF transmission facilities and devices except for those used by the federal government. It is also responsible for the environmental damages generated by the facilities and devices it approves.

IC

Industry Canada (IC) sets up the test standards for analog and digital terminal devices and specifies corresponding EMC certificates that all import electronic products must obtain.

NRTL

A Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) is an independent laboratory recognized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the United States to test products to applicable product safety standards.

The OSHA requires that products used in the workplace must be tested by an NRTL and obtain security certificates after the products pass all related tests to ensure the personal safety of users.

CE (LVD and EMC)

Conformite Europeenne (CE): Products marked with CE conform to the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive and Low Voltage Directive (LVD) published by the European Commission. The LVD and EMC Directive are mandatory requirements for entry to the market.

REACH

Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) is a regulation on the registration, assessment, authorization and limitation of chemical substances, including mixtures and articles made up of chemical substances. It is one of EU's compulsory admission regulations.

CE (RoHS)

The restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) is one of EU's compulsory admission regulations.

WEEE

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulation (WEEE) is an EU directive on electrical and electronic wastes. Electronic and electrical products sold to the EU market must comply with the directive, that is, the 3R (recovery, reuse, and recycling) of electronic and electrical wastes and symbols of crossed-out wheeled bins.

CE (ErP)

The Energy-related Product (ErP) Directive defines the ecodesign requirements for storage systems, including the requirements on power efficiency, material efficiency, and product information. It is one of EU's compulsory admission regulations.

EAC

Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus have integrated their own certification technology requirements and formulated a unified Customs Union (CU) certification. The products within the scope of control are subject to mandatory certification of customs union technical regulations (CU-TR), unified technical regulations and evaluation modes, product qualification directories, certificate forms, and technical supervision and registration.

RCM

The Australian & New Zealand Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) is the mandatory compliance for selling electrical equipment products in the market.

VCCI

As the EMC mark in Japan, the VCCI certificate is managed by the Voluntary Control Council for Interference by Information Technology Equipment. The organization determines whether an information technology product meets VCCI requirements based on the Special International Committee on Radio Interference (abbreviated as CISPR from its French name) 32 standard.
