TRaC has been appointed as an NCB (National Certification Body) and CBTL (Certification Body Test Laboratory) by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrical Equipment, under what's more commonly known as the CB scheme.
What does this mean to you?
IEC logoIt means that TRaC can provide internationally accepted safety certification for IT, business and laboratory equipment. The purpose of the CB Scheme is to reduce obstacles to international trade which arise from having to meet different national certification or approval criteria.
As the first NCB in the UK for almost 40 years, TRaC offers a complete worldwide safety certification solution. Since the test and certification is conducted exclusively in the UK it removes the need for expensive overseas shipments of samples or lengthy project reviews which are often difficult to manage.
How will having a CB certificate help you?
By obtaining a CB certificate you can open potential new trade doors in over 43 countries. Additionally our CB certificates are accepted in most regions of the world, even in many non-member countries. Often a CB certificate can be used as the basis for getting mandatory national certification marks in the different member countries.
Why not show the world you have had your product safety tested?
TRaC has recently launched a TRaC Certification Mark. This means you can now show the world that your products conform to a range of continuous compliance measures and meet with the requirements of prescribed product safety standards.
Don't want to send your equipment to a test laboratory, maybe the equipment is too large or you want better control of your approval process?
Then why not have the testing conducted at your own facility or office? TRaC can assist by way of Testing on Manufacturers Premises (TMP) with our on-site test team. TRaC can offer you both European and CB safety certificates without you having to leave your office.
