International Safety
Conformity
Declaration (CB
Scheme)
A certification bodies (CB) test report supporting a product indicates
safety compliance with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) system for conformity testing and certification of
electrical equipment (IECEE ) CB scheme.
The CB scheme is a multilatera l agreement among participatin g
countries and certification organizations that accepts test reports
certifying the safety of electrical and electronic products.
European Union
Conformity
Declarations and
Directives (CE Mark)
The CE mark on a product indicates compliance with the following
regulatory requirements as set forth by European Norms (ENs) and
relevant international standards for commercial and light industrial
information technology equipmen t (ITE):
•EN55022: 1998 - ITE-generic radio frequency interferenc e (RFI)
emission standard for domestic , commercial, and light industria l
environments, including electrical business equipment.
•EN55024-1: 1998 - ITE-generic electromagnetic immunity
standard for domestic, commercial, and light industrial
environments, including electrical business equipment.
•EN60950/A11:1997 - ITE-generic electrical and fire safety
standard for domestic, commercial, and light industrial
environments, including electrical business equipment.
•EN61000-3-2:1995 - ITE-generic harmonic current emissions
standard for domestic, commercial, and light industrial
environments (equipment with rated current less than or
equal to 16 amperes per phase).
•EN61000-3-3:1995 - ITE-generic voltage fluctuation and flick er
standard (low-voltage power supply systems) for domestic,
commercial, and light industri al environments (equipment with
rated current less than or equal to 16 amperes per phase).
In addition, the European Union (EU) Council has implemented a
series of directives that define product safety standards for member
countries. The following directives apply:
• Products conform with all protection requirements of EU
directive 89/336/EEC (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive)
in accordance with the laws of the member countries relating to
EMC emissions and immunity.
