Can a CB Report Be Converted into Certificates for Other Countries?

Short answer: yes. Under the IECEE CB Scheme, a CB test report and certificate issued by an NCB-accredited laboratory can be transferred into national certifications in member countries — typically without repeating the full test suite.

How CB Transfer Works

1. Your product is tested once against IEC standards in a CBTL (CB Testing Laboratory) such as ours.
2. A CB test report and CB certificate are issued by the national certification body.
3. For each target country, the report is submitted to the national body, which may apply national differences.
4. National marks (e.g. GCC, and routes accepted by SASO and others) are issued based on the CB report.

What to Check Before Reusing a Report

• Scope match — the report's standards and ratings must cover your product and target market
• National differences — some countries require additional country-specific tests (a delta, not a full re-test)
• Product identity — model, hardware revision and critical components must match the tested configuration
• Validity — reports lose relevance when the standard edition they reference is withdrawn

Existing Report From Another Lab?

We can review third-party CB reports for transferability and issue the delta tests where national differences apply. Send the report for a transferability review.

Transfer acceptance is decided by each national certification body; outcomes are confirmed during project scoping.

FAQ

Can I use an existing CB report for other countries?

Yes — under the IECEE CB Scheme, a CB test report transfers to national certifications in member countries, typically with only national-difference delta tests.
