CB Scheme Local Technical Representative Service

Cranage Veritas LTR Service

Under the IECEE CB Certification Scheme, to achieve certification, additional procedures may be needed. One of which involves in-situ factory visits from a Local Technical Representative (or CB Testing Engineer) to assess your quality management systems and determine whether correct testing and test reporting is undertaken. This process is typically used for manufacturers who have access to their own testing facilities (known as Customer Testing Facilities).

We are in a unique position to offer these services to our customers, as our LTR is the only registered LTR in Ireland.

Under the authority of Metlabs/Eurofins as a National Certification Body for the IECEE CB Scheme, Cranage Veritas has the ability to operate as an independent third-party authority for Certification Body purposes. This means we can send an experienced engineer who is recognised as a Local Technical Representative under the IECEE CB Scheme to attest to your manufacturing procedures and quality management systems. As specialists in electronic/electrical devices and medical devices, our LTR services are able to assist to the following standards:

IEC 62368-1:2014
IEC 62368-1:2018
IEC 61010-1:2010
IEC 61010-1:2010/AMD1:2016
IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD1:2012

Our LTR Engineer is capable of assisting to CTF Stage 2, meaning they can witness 100% of each test programme undertaken at your manufacturing site.

Our engineer is registered with a National Certification Body (NCB) as a Local Technical Representative, meaning they can perform CB testing or supervision of CB testing activities at your manufacturing premises. In this scenario the test reports and technical documentation required for CB testing will be produced or evaluated by our LTR engineer and issued to the NCB for CB certificate approval.

Once CB certification is acquired, your product will be in an optimal position to be accepted into over 50 global markets.

The main benefits of CB certification are in the reduced time it takes to get your product to these markets, as the CB certificate can be submitted, and accepted for these markets, you should not need to duplicate unnecessary testing procedures for your product.

This provides a cost effective solution to accessing a range of global markets.
