Dan,
There is no "CB" mark. The "CE" marking is required for the EU,
indicating compliance with all applicable EU Directives for the product
involved. This is accepted by the 15 member states and by Norway,
Iceland, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. Several Eastern European
countries are waiting to be accepted into the EU, and may begin
accepting the "CE" mark prior to membership, viz. Hungary, Poland,
and the Czech Republic.
Having a product, typically ITE, assessed to IEC 60950 via the "CB
Scheme" is one of several methods to satisfy the safety aspect of the
"CE" marking, viz. the Low Voltage Directive. You can see more on the
"CB Scheme" at www.cbscheme.org .

Subject: CE or CB ?
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
