CB Scheme
Gain access to international markets by ensuring your products meet globally recognized safety and quality standards.
Overview
Launch your global strategy with services customized to help you gain access to your target international markets
Did You Know?
- The CB Scheme is operated by the IEC System of Conformity Assessment Schemes for Electrotechnical Equipment and Components (IECEE).
- The CB Scheme reduces delays and costs of multiple testing protocols since a product can be certified once by a single National Certification Body (NCB) and accepted by others worldwide.


If you want access to the tremendous revenue potential of selling your products in the global marketplace, you must meet stringent safety requirements. Adding to the challenge is the various certifications required by different countries. CSA Group offers a simple, efficient, and cost-effective way to help you enter global markets with our CB Scheme service. The CB Scheme is a multilateral agreement for the mutual
recognition of product safety test results among participating countries and certification organizations around the world. We can help you attain your CB Scheme certification.
