Well, this has been rather informative, but the CB scheme as I understand it is specific about exactly what test data is involved. Right now, it's mainly safety related testing, no? In other words, you could be testing a product in country A who participates in the CB Scheme. The tests

Query: US safety required for ITE?

I have never conclusively figured this out either. Based on my understanding, NRTL acceptance is an option for the U.S. in general, but by far the easiest row to how. For example, to satisfy OSHA workplace requirements, equipment can be built to the many pages of requirements, or simply meet 29

The CB Scheme is a standard set of tests to IEC 950 (now IEC 60950) requirements. It does not include emissions, immunity, and telephone requirements beyond IEC 60950. For example, the Nordic countries used to require both safety and EMC data for approval to use their marks. As a result of the

Hello George Doug, The CB Scheme, providing for the mutual acceptance of electrical safety test data, among 30+ countries, covers 14+ product categories and is certainly not limited to ITE. An extension of the CB Scheme to provide for the mutual acceptance of EMC test data has been in effect

George, do we really have a choice? What electrical inspector or OSHA inspector is going to take on the personal responsibility of reviewing reams of design and test data and pronounce compliance? Yes, they can, but why should they? -- From:

Rich, I must differ with you on one point below. Refer to 29 CFR 1910.399 (a)(ii). This is the section just past the reference to NRTL acceptance cited below. In so many words, paragraph (ii) says that if the equipment is not approved etc. by an NRTL, then it must be inspected etc by a

Hi George: I stand corrected. You can indeed bypass the NRTL if you can find a local occupational safety authority to pass on the product's safety. As a general rule, this is quite difficult to implement (i.e., to find an authority who is qualified and willing to investigate the details of
