Among 74 countries/regions stipulating regulatory requirement; - All countries/regions has transposed, or has made reference to, the IEC safety standard for their conformity assessment - Countries/regions implementing mandatory certifications prior to product marketing; 32 (CIS, Middle-East Far-East Asia, etc.) - Countries/regions implementing manufacturer’s/supplier’s self verification system; 42 (EU, Eastern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) Product design conformity to IEC standard is the essential tool for worldwide one-stop testing ! Tested once, accepted everywhere! Three Essential Elements of Conformity Assessment Assessment Quality Cost Effectiveness Global Acceptance ? Localized services ? MTL* integration ? Minimum formality ?Harmonization ?Credibility ?Equal treatment ? Technical competence ? Knowledge experience ? Reproducibility Quick market access MTL: Manufacturer’s Test Laboratory Various Tools Used for Conformity Assessment WTO/TBT Agreement Mutual Recognition Agreement IECEE-CB Scheme Laboratory Accreditation CA Standard SDoC Product Standard （IEC/CISPR） Worldwide simultaneous product launch through one-stop testing IECEE-CB Scheme Our Contribution to IECEE-CB Scheme Total number of CB certificates issued worldwide: 36,465 OFF + TRON 22,069 (60%) Total number of CB certificates issued to OFF TRON: 22,069 CB certificates issued by Japanese NCBs: 5,665 (26%) Note: Figures are extracted from 2004 statistics, where “OFF” means certificates fo
