Certification updated

The Amended Telecommunications Labelling Notice (TLN) issued on 13 December 2011 incorporates the IECEE CB Scheme.

This international system allows test reports and certificates to be mutually acceptable among participating countries in relation to the safety of electrical equipment.

Under the scheme, test reports and certificates issued by recognised CB testing laboratories and National Certification Bodies in an exporting country may be recognised in an importing country without the need for additional local testing (except in relation to local differences from the international standard).

To ensure the equipment complies with the Australian national differences, IECEE CB test reports and certificates will be required to be assessed by the Australian NCB (SAI Global) or a recognised testing authority (RTA).

Comtest Laboratories has been an RTA dealing with telecommunications products since 1987 and it became an IECEE CB Scheme Laboratory in 1999.
