INTRODUCTION
Note This introduction provides an overview of the CB Scheme and is not part of the Rules.

In recognition of the need to facilitate international trade in electrotechnical equipment, and

components primarily intended for use in homes, offices, workshops healthcare facilities and
similar locations, for benefit of consumers, industries, authorities etc, and to provide
convenience for manufacturers and other users of the services provided by various National
Certification Bodies (NCBs), an international Scheme is operated by the IECEE (IEC System
for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrotechnical Equipment and Components),
known as the CB Scheme. The Scheme is based on the principle of mutual recognition
(reciprocal acceptance) by its members of test results for obtaining certification or approval at
national level.

The Scheme is intended to reduce obstacles to international trade which arise from having to
meet different national certification or approval criteria. Participation of the various NCBs within
the Scheme is intended to facilitate certification or approval according to IEC standards. Where
national standards are not yet completely based on IEC standards, declared national
differences will be taken into account; however, successful operation of the Scheme
presupposes that national standards are reasonably harmonized with the corresponding IEC
standards. Use of the Scheme to its fullest extent will promote the exchange of information
necessary in assisting manufacturers around the world to obtain certification or approval at
national level.

The operating units of the Scheme are the NCBs accepted according to these Rules. Those
NCBs employ testing laboratories also accepted according to the Rules, known as CB Testing
Laboratories (CBTLs). A list of NCBs is shown on the IECEE Website.

The CB Scheme is based on the use of IECEE Certificates which provide evidence that
representative specimens of the product have successfully passed tests to show compliance
with the requirements of the relevant IEC standard. A supplementary report providing evidence
of compliance with declared national differences in order to obtain national certification or
approval may also be attached to the Test Report.

The first step for an NCB, intending to operate in the CB Scheme, is to be accepted as a
Recognizing NCB. Such an NCB is prepared to recognize IECEE Certificates as a basis for
certification or approval at national level for one or more categories of products

The second step for an NCB, which can be taken at the same time as the first step, is to be
accepted as an Issuing and Recognizing NCB. Such an NCB is entitled to issue IECEE
Certificates for the categories of equipment for which it recognizes IECEE Certificates. It should,
however, be noted that an NCB may recognize IECEE Certificates for more categories of
equipment than for which it is entitled to issue IECEE Certificates.

The Rules are formulated in such a way as to make them applicable in different national
certification structures.

3.1 General
3.1.1 The IEC System of Conformity Assessment Schemes for Electrotechnical Equipment
and Components (IECEE) operates a scheme with the aim of facilitating international trade and
evolving industry needs by promoting and simplifying certification and approval at national level
through mutual recognition of test results. IECEE Certificates according to 3.2.1 are used as
the means for mutual recognition of test results. The IECEE also develops certification schemes
in new areas to meet evolving industry needs.

3.1.2 The Scheme is called “IECEE CB Scheme for Mutual Recognition of Test Certificates
for Electrotechnical Equipment and Components”, hereinafter referred to as “the CB Scheme”.

Executive Secretary.

3.2 IECEE Certificates

3.2.1 An IECEE Certificate is a document issued by an Issuing and Recognizing NCB to inform
other NCBs, in conjunction with the attached Test Report, that the object of conformity
assessment has been certified according to the relevant requirements within the scheme
including one or more standard(s) applicable to the electrical products accepted for use in the
IECEE, unless otherwise permitted by the relevant standard(s). The object of conformity
assessment was found to be in conformity with that (those) requirements(s). An IECEE
Certificate is valid only when the IECEE documented Test Report (in agreed harmonised form)
is attached. The Test Report will fully and completely cover the applicable and relevant test
results according to the requirements of the standard(s), and when requested also according to
declared national differences.

3.2.2 The Certification Management Committee (CMC) shall determine the format and content
of IECEE Certificates.

The name(s) and signature(s) of the authorized person(s) shall clearly appear on the CB Test
Certificate and the names shall be declared to the IECEE Secretariat and listed in the Quality
Procedure used by the NCB to process the CB Scheme.

A Test Report shall be attached to each IECEE Certificate.

3.2.3 Test data used to support certification shall be generated by the test report issuing
CBTL/CTF within their recognized scope. Use of data generated by the test report issuing
CBTL/CTF prior to recognition of a standard within their scope, is permitted so long as (a) the
original test results are not older than six months, and (b) review the original test results
demonstrate that they are fully in accordance with the IECEE rules.

3.2.4 IECEE Certificates shall not be used in any form of advertising or sales promotion.
Note This subclause does not preclude the holder of a IECEE Certificate from making reference to the existence of
that Certificate in business correspondence related to equipment for which a IECEE Certificate has been issued.

3.2.5 Amending IECEE Certificates and Test Reports due to typographical errors,
addresses and other similar changes, as well as, due to technical modifications to products
declared in valid IECEE Certificates and Test Report is allowed in accordance with OD-2037
and OD 2020.

3.2.6 A IECEE Certificate may be cancelled by the issuing NCB if:

• the Certificate is misused,

• the Certificate has been issued in error, the equipment no longer corresponds to the
specimens tested and described in the attached Test Report, or
• the holder of the Certificate requests cancellation.

4 Procedures for handling IECEE Certificates

4.1 General
4.1.1 An application for obtaining a IECEE Certificate may be made by an applicant to any
Issuing and Recognizing NCB accepted for the relevant standard.

The applicant will be the holder of the IECEE Certificate.

4.1.2 The applicant may be a manufacturer or act on behalf of a manufacturer. In the latter
case, evidence shall be submitted that the applicant is authorized to act on behalf of the
manufacturer for the application and that the manufacturer undertakes the same obligations as
the applicant.
Note Those obligations may be to follow these Rules, the rules of the NCBs involved and legal obligations in the
countries concerned.

4.1.3 The application may cover one or more factories within one or more countries, where
the product will be manufactured.

4.1.4 Unless otherwise agreed between the applicant and the NCB, the tests shall be carried
out by an accepted CBTL on the request of the NCB. Specific rules for utilization by an NCB of
a customer’s testing facilities are given in OD-2048.

4.2 Procedure for obtaining an IECEE Certificate

4.2.1 The application to the Issuing and Recognizing NCB shall contain as a minimum the
following information:

• name and address of the applicant;

• name and address of the manufacturer, if different from the applicant;
• names and addresses of the factories where the product will be manufactured;
• name, trademarks or other markings by which the applicant, the manufacturer, when
appropriate, and the factory can be unambiguously identified by an NCB;
• type designation and markings by which the product can be unambiguously identified by an
NCB.

4.2.2 The application shall be made and dealt with according to the rules of the Issuing and
Recognizing NCB to which it is submitted. That NCB shall inform the applicant about the
relevant rules and procedures and about the specimens needed for the testing.

4.2.3 Upon receipt of an application for a IECEE Certificate, the relevant Issuing and
Recognizing NCB shall within one month arrange for testing of the relevant equipment. If the
result of the tests is favourable, the NCB concerned shall sign and issue a IECEE Certificate to
the applicant.

The NCB shall register the certificate in the IECEE online deliverables database within three
months from the certificate issue date. Certifications from the previous year shall be registered
by the end of January of the following year.
In exceptional cases where the public release of information on the certificate in the IECEE
online deliverables database would place an NCB in breach of a confidentiality agreement with
the certificate holder, the NCB may request to restrict the display of any and all information until
the certificate “release date.”
The NCB shall also submit a statement explaining why they are unable to register the full
certificate.

Disclaimer: This document is controlled and has been released electronically.

Only the version on the IECEE Website is the current document version.
IECEE 02:2024 © IEC:2024 – 11 –

4.2.4 The applicant may also request testing to cover national differences in countries in which
the IECEE Certificate is to be used.

If additional tests have been carried out, a report of the results may be attached to, and
considered to be a part of, the Test Report.

4.2.5 When the application for obtaining a IECEE Certificate includes more than one factory
location, the Applicant shall include a declaration from the Manufacturer stating that the
sample(s) submitted for evaluation is (are) representative of the products from each factory.

A statement shall be included in the Test Report confirming Manufacturer’s declaration or where
differences exist; they shall be identified in the Test Report.
Note The statement may be the Manufacturer’s declaration

The name and address of each factory shall be reported in the Test Report (where applicable
for the relevant TRF) and on the IECEE Certificate.

4.2.6 The application, the results of the work done and the information obtained in connection
with the application for a IECEE Certificate shall be confidential. However, basic identification
data for the product may be published after the date of issue, unless particular confidentiality
is agreed between the applicant and the Issuing and Recognizing NCB.

4.2.7 Disagreements between an Issuing and Recognizing NCB and an applicant may be dealt
with according to the appeal procedure of the NCB.

If the applicant is not satisfied with the result of the appeal at national level, and if the
disagreement concerns the application of these Rules, the dispute may be referred to the Board
of Appeal of the IECEE.

4.3 Procedure for recognition of IECEE Certificates

4.3.1 When an applicant applies to a Recognizing or to an Issuing and Recognizing NCB for
national certification or approval of a product on the basis of a IECEE Certificate, the application
shall be accompanied by a copy of the IECEE Certificate with the attached Test Report and, if
relevant, with attached reports covering national differences and, if required by the NCB, by a
specimen of the product.

4.3.2 When applying for national certification or approval on the basis of a IECEE Certificate,
an applicant shall follow the rules of procedure applicable in the country concerned and shall
confirm readiness to comply with all the relevant national provisions regarding, for example,
retesting, checking, factory surveillance, and payment of fees, as if the equipment had been
tested in accordance with the procedures valid in that country.

4.3.3 The NCB shall examine the submitted IECEE Certificate (regardless of the location of
the issuing NCB, even if that NCB is located in the same country as the recognizing NCB) and
any required specimen to the extent considered necessary for the identification of the relevant
equipment and for the recognition of the IECEE Certificate.

If the result of this examination is favourable, national certification or approval shall be granted
by the NCB without additional testing following its own statutes and rules of procedure. However,
if the test report does not cover declared national differences, if any, arrangements shall be
made with the Applicant to carry out the additional evaluation and testing.

The NCB retains the right to test further the equipment to ascertain whether or not the
equipment complies with the relevant standard. Such additional testing should be kept to a
minimum.

4.3.4 The NCB may challenge the IECEE Certificate when the standard according to which it
was issued is no longer in force in the country of the NCB.

Disclaimer: This document is controlled and has been released electronically.

Only the version on the IECEE Website is the current document version.

4.3.5 The NCBs are encouraged to handle applications for recognition of IECEE Certificates
within 15 working days.

4.3.6 Should the NCB receiving an IECEE Certificate for recognition consider it to have been
issued in error, the NCB that issued the certificate shall be informed as soon as possible. If the
NCBs involved arrive at different conclusions, the case may be referred to the Board of Appeal

Annex C ─ Industrial Cybersecurity Program

C.1 Scope
This publication contains the Rules of Procedure for the IECEE Industrial Cybersecurity
Program. The service is intended to provide a framework for assessments in accordance with
the IEC 62443 Security for industrial automation and control systems series of standards to
result in an IECEE Certificate of Conformity - Industrial Cybersecurity Capability.

The IEC 62443 series of standards generally specify requirements for security capabilities.
These capabilities may be technical capabilities (security mechanisms) or process capabilities
(human procedures).

IEC 62443 conformance assessment consists of the evaluation of an Applicant’s security

capabilities that it uses to develop, integrate and/or maintain specific products or solutions. Two
evaluations can be conducted:

1) To evaluate an applicant’s ability to provide IEC 62443 compliant security capabilities. This
assessment focuses on evidence that supports the Applicant’s submittal. This submittal
contains the specific requirements and the processes used to implement the security
capabilities for which they are requesting to be assessed.
2) To evaluate that these capabilities have been applied to either:
a) a specific product or
b) a specific solution.

C.2 Rules
The IECEE Industrial Cybersecurity Program is operated following the main requirements in
this document with the following additional considerations.
Note: In this case, Test Results relate to the assessment of supporting evidence for security capabilities required by
IEC 62443 and the application of those capabilities.

C.2.1 Certificate of Conformity - Industrial Cybersecurity Capability

The deliverable to be issued as a result of the IECEE Industrial Cybersecurity Program is a
Certificate of Conformity – Industrial Cybersecurity Capability in accordance with OD-2037. A
Certificate is associated with a supporting IECEE Test Report. The report is not valid as an
IECEE Test Report unless signed by an approved CBTL and appended to a Certificate issued
by an NCB in accordance with this operational document.

C.2.2 Customer’s Testing Facilities (CTFs) & Subcontracting
