Simplify your access to global markets
Kiwa now offers product safety certification for:
• Multimedia (IT/AV) and laboratory, measurement and control equipment safety test standards, now added to Kiwa portfolio providing manufacturers with efficient and timely access to global market for their product safety certification.
• Manufacturers can take advantage of the global scheme for certifying electrical and electronics products by using the IECEE (IEC System of Conformity Assessment Schemes for Electrotechnical Equipment and Components). The IECEE CB scheme reduces the need for duplication of testing when accessing global markets, ultimately helping to reduce costs and speed up time to market.
These additions strengthen Kiwa’s expertise in electromagnetic capability (EMC), radio, and product safety testing, providing manufacturers with an efficient, trusted pathway to certification.
Simplifying Global Certification with the IECEE CB Scheme
The IECEE CB scheme facilitates mutual recognition of product safety test results across multiple countries, reducing the need for repeated testing and speeding up time to market. Through Kiwa, manufacturers can obtain multiple international certifications via a single testing program, eliminating redundant in-country tests and cutting costs.
As an experienced member of the IECEE CB scheme, Kiwa operates two National Certified Bodies (NCBs) in the Netherlands and Germany, along with a network of Certified Body Testing Laboratories (CBTLs), including one in the UK.
