Product testing passport gives access to all areas

On an increasingly technologically level playing field, brand reputation sets one manufacturer apart from another. A significant part of that reputation comes from a positive user experience, created through safe and reliable products that satisfy the intended use, meet consumer expectation and don't harm anyone.


Yet, because CE marking relies on a manufacturer's declaration that the product complies with the relevant European legislation, there is no guarantee that a product is safe. It is increasingly common for less scrupulous manufacturers to simply affix the CE marking, sign the declaration of conformity and not bother testing products.

For those manufacturers wary of the pitfalls of CE marking self declaration and who are looking to ensure their products are deemed safe, the CB Scheme offers something beyond wider access to international markets.

CE marking remains an EU requirement for imported goods and responsible manufacturers will want to ensure their products meet the legislation. The good news is the CB Scheme encompasses all of the requirements of CE marking regulations, delivering to manufacturers the evidence they need to declare and prove CE marking compliance.

The CB scheme is gaining in popularity because it is more regulated and is controlled by the IEC System for Conformity testing and Certification of Electrotechnical Equipment and Components (IECEE).
