Dan,
Press on http://www.cbscheme.org/cbscheme/default.htm to learn about the CB Scheme. Also, press on http://www.cbscheme.org/cbscheme/cbstand.htm. As you can see, the standards you mention are not covered under the CB scheme. Also, for your information a CB Test Report and Certificate can be given to a harmonized standard with as many country deviations that the manufacturer decides to seek. However the CB scheme is not a mark. It is a procedure by which a test facility being a member of the CB scheme can test a product and issue a certificate and report. Another member in a different country should accept the test results and issue its own mark. Currently the IEC is working on a scheme to not only to accept the test results but to also accept the construction. PETER S. MERGUERIAN Technical Director I.T.L.

I am in the process of introducing product into the EU and possibly world wide. I was shown that the CB mark testing covers all the countries in the EU that we plan to sell to and other countries as well. Is this a new mark? Would I be better off getting the CE mark and then test to other countries applicable standards or the CB mark? The test facility that provided me with the information was Intertek Testing Services, in California USA. I planned to test to: EN55013 EN55020 TBR21 61000-3-2 61000-3-3 Daniel J.
