IT/AV Product CB Certification Testing Laboratory

The JJR Laboratory in China has been authorized for IEC 62368. Applying for a CB certificate through JJR can significantly reduce the certification time, with the shortest time to obtain a certificate being 4 weeks.

What is cb certification and What Are Its Benefits?

The CB Scheme is a global mutual recognition system established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IECEE). 34 countries and 45 certification bodies participate in this mutual recognition system, with the number of member countries and organizations continually expanding. Once a company obtains a CB certificate from one certification body, it can conveniently be converted into certifications from other bodies, providing market access to the relevant countries.

The main advantage of obtaining CB certification is the ease of conversion to various domestic and international certifications, such as Saudi Arabia's IECEE registration, Singapore's PSB, South Korea's KC, Malaysia's ST, Australia's RCM, and China's CCC certification.

Additionally, the CB report carries high credibility and is often directly recognized by buyers in many countries or regions, such as Southeast Asia.

Countries Participating in the CB Scheme:

Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, Serbia and Montenegro, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States.

Common CB Testing Standards and Products

Testing Standard: IEC 62368, applicable to IT/AV products.

Typical AV Products:

Power adapters, radios (cassette tapes, CDs, etc.), TVs, DVDs, VCDs, MP3 players, amplifiers, stereo systems, powered speakers, tuners, controllers, karaoke systems, reverberators, MD players, turntables, VCRs, cassette players, language repeaters, pre-amplifiers, LCD TVs, LCD monitors, CRT monitors, plasma TVs, plasma monitors, projectors, trunk amplifiers, bridge amplifiers, distribution amplifiers, TV antenna amplifiers, video modulators, frequency converters, AV modems, satellite TV receivers, digital TV receivers, set-top boxes, electronic keyboards, and other products related to audio-visual playback.

Typical IT Products:

2. Telecommunication Products: Telephones, video phones, fax machines, telephone exchanges, modems, handsets, answering machines, broadcast and TV transmission and receiving equipment, pagers, etc.

3. Semiconductors and Semiconductor Production Equipment: Chips and wafers of various models and capacities; equipment and testing instruments for semiconductor production, such as vapor deposition devices, spin dryers, etching machines, laser cutting machines, saws and slicing machines, centrifuges, injectors, ovens and furnaces, ion injectors, microscopes, testing instruments, and components and accessories for the above products.

4. Scientific Instruments: Measuring and testing instruments, colorimeters, spectrometers, optical radiation devices, etc.

5. Other Products: Word processors, calculators, cash registers, ATMs, stationary transformers, display panels, capacitors, resistors, printed circuits, electronic switches, connectors, conductors, optical cables, copiers, computer networks (LAN, WAN equipment), LCD displays, plotters, multimedia development tools, etc.

Important Considerations for Applying for CB Certification:

- Inform the laboratory of the product's export countries to allow for the inclusion of relevant national standards deviations.

- If the product claims to be waterproof or dustproof, an IP rating report must be provided.

- Products with LED or UV light sources require an IEC 62471 test report.

- Product specifications must include the maximum operating temperature.

For trademarked applications, a trademark authorization letter is required.
