The IECEE System, originally operated by the CEE (International (European) Commission for Conformity Certification of Electrical Equipment), was integrated into the IEC in 1985 as the CB Scheme of the IECEE.
Today the IECEE System operates two Schemes, the historical CB Scheme and the CB-FCS that helps Industry to access the Global Market for Electrotechnical Equipment and Components”

One Standard, One Test, One…
How some visionary bright men had the idea to establish a Mutual Recognition Agreement?What was the direct cause of the establishment of such a body?

Global Trade & Conformity Assessment
Local – Regional – Global
Conformity assessment, perceived slow, steady, bureaucratic
Conformity assessment models were developed in isolation
Due to increased global trade, manufacturers identified the need to find improvements in efficiency and profitability
Targets & Achievements
Target: One test
Target: One certification
Target: One mark
Achieved: One test
Achieved: One international certification
Achieved: One or more certification marks as needed or direct market acceptance by Regulators, Customs, Retailers, Buyers, Vendors, etc.
The IECEE Schemes are intended to reduce obstacles to international trade which arise from having to meet different national certification or approval criteria.
IECEE facilitates International Trade
17
Reasons for the Success
Flexible system that can be timely responsive to the market
Type test as opposed to a full certification & follow up service
Integration of National Differences, SNCs, Regulatory requirements
Independent impartial Peer Assessment Program
Supports regulatory policies

Future exciting challenges
The need to have a strategic global market relevance. The need to position international standardization and
Conformity Assessment as a strategic business tool. The recognition that global reach is not an easy
objective. The acceptance that innovation and adding business
value takes hard work and open collaboration. The peoples of the world recognize that
standardization and Conformity Assessment improve their lives.
The National Committees are the foundation for achieving national and global relevance.
IECEE is at the forefront…
We are at the forefront of new exciting challenges in Conformity Assessment and the IECEE System is aiming at to be the right player, a player that can be trusted.
IECEE takes Conformity Assessment Further!
