Overview

CB Certification is a global mutual recognition system managed by the IECEE (IEC System for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrotechnical Equipment and Components). The CB Scheme is formally called the "IECEE Scheme for Mutual Recognition of Test Certificates for Electrical Equipment" .est Certificates for Electrical Equipment ", that is, the IECEE Mutual Recognition System for Electrical Product Testing Certificates.Lithium Battery CB Certification is tested according to IEC 62133 standard. After obtaining the CB Test Certificate (CBTC), it can be converted to local certification in more than 50 member states of the CB system, such as EU CE, Japan PSE, South Korea KC, China CCC, etc., without repeating the test. The CB system greatly reduces the multinational certification cost and time of battery companies, and is an efficient channel for Lithium Battery to enter the international market.
The IECEE-CB Scheme is a global mutual recognition system for electrical product safety test results, established by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Conformity Assessment Body for Electrotechnical Equipment (IECEE). The CB Scheme is based on IEC safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards approved by IECEE, and achieves mutual recognition of test results for 19 major categories of electrical products, including batteries, household appliances, information technology equipment, and medical electrical equipment. Currently, 54 countries worldwide are members of the CB Scheme.

CB Scheme National Differences

CB Scheme member countries may have national differences (National
Certification Conversion ProcessAfter obtaining the CB Test Certificate, the company submits the CB Report and application to the National Certification Body (NCB) of the target country. The NCB conducts supplementary testing based on national difference requirements (if any), and upon approval, issues the local certificate.
European UnionEN 62133 is essentially identical to IEC 62133, with minimal differences.
JapanPSE certification must meet JIS C 8715 standard; there are differences in test conditions, such as temperature cycling parameters.
South KoreaKC certification must meet KS C IEC 62133; differences are minor but factory inspection is required.
ChinaGB/T 28164 standard is equivalent to IEC 62133, but CQC certification requires factory inspection.
United StatesUL standards differ significantly from IEC standards; CB Reports cannot be directly converted to UL certification in the United States.
AustraliaAS/NZS 62133 is equivalent to IEC 62133, with minimal differences.

Certification Process

Complete Process from Application to Certification

Lithium Battery CB Certification process is as follows
Step 1Determine the target market and select an appropriate issuing NCB (National Certification Body), such as TUV, SGS, ITS, CQC, etc.
Step 2Submit Application, providing battery specification, circuit diagram, BOM list, labels and other technical documents.
Step 3Send samples to an IECEE-accredited CBTL (CB Testing Laboratory) for full IEC 62133 testing.
Step 4The laboratory issues a CB Test Report (CBTR) containing complete test data and determination results.
Step 5The NCB reviews the CB Test Report and issues the CB Test Certificate (CBTC).
Step 6Use the CB Test Certificate to apply for certification conversion with the target country's Certification Body.
Step 7Complete factory inspection as required by the target country (if needed) and obtain the local certificate.
The entire CB certification cycle is approximately 6 to 8 weeks, and the certification conversion cycle is approximately 2 to 4 weeks.

Required Documents and Notes

Required Documents and Materials for Application

Applying for CB certification requires the following documents: Battery specification (including chemistry system
Battery Pack Circuit Schematic and PCB Layout Diagram
Protection board IC specification and parameter setting instructions
BOM material list (including positive and negative electrode materials
Product dimension drawings and label samples
Manufacturer's ISO 9001 certificate (if available). Important Notes: The CB Test Certificate validity period is 3 years (from the date of issuance), and can be used for multiple certification conversions within the validity period. The product model in the CB Report must match the actual shipped product; any design changes require re-evaluation or supplementary difference testing. When selecting an NCB, consider its recognition and acceptance in the target market. Some NCBs (such as TUV Rheinland,
ITS) have high global recognition. Different NCBs have different fee structures; comparison is recommended. When a battery pack uses cells from different brands, each cell model requires separate CB testing. CB Certification and UN38.3 are two independent systems that cannot substitute for each other; they are typically conducted simultaneously.
When using CB to convert to certification in CB-recognized countries, supplementary testing for standard differences is sufficient. However, for Japan, South Korea, France, and Switzerland, additional forced internal circuit short circuit testing is required
2. Battery and cell specification
4. PCB layout diagram
1. Relevant documents should be provided in both Chinese and English.
2. To shorten the certification cycle, documents should preferably be provided in electronic format.
3. During the certification process, companies may be required to submit additional documents for special cases.
Three exemptions: No validity period limit, no factory inspection, no annual certificate fee
CB Certification cycle: 4 weeks (certificate and report processed together)
