11. • Economies are highly
interdependent
• Electrical and
electronic goods are
“made in the world”
• IEC work enables
efficient participation
in global value chains

12. • Ability to sell =
demonstrate quality,
safety, performance
• Standards are
fundamental for
testing and
certification
• Stimulate quality and
competition
• Grow markets

14. • Only international
standardized form
of certification
• Biggest working
multilateral
recognition
agreement
• Important to the
IEC Community and
to industry

15. • Conformity Assessment (CA)
 Checking that a product conforms to a specification
• First-party CA
 Carried out by manufacturer, supplier
• Second-party CA
 Carried out by customer
• Third-party CA
 Carried out by independent organization
 Neither of the first two interested parties
• Certification
 Third-party, formal CA, producing a certificate
 Provides assurance that product is conformant

16. IECEE - Electrotechnical equipment
and components including safety and EMC
IECEx – Equipment for use in Explosive

applications

17. • Standardized rules
• Peer assessment
• Global consistency =
confidence and
mutual acceptance of
results
• Broad market access

18. • Real-time online
verification of
authenticity of
certificates
• Prevent dumping of
sub-standard
products
• Catch fraudulent
activities

19. • Tripartite MoU IEC
ILAC and IAF
• Unified assessment
process
• Equipment,
processes and
competence of
personnel
• Global confidence

21. 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
