Other AUSTEL approved labs who are not members of the CB scheme may also accept
the CB reports, and review and endorse them for use by AUSTEL.

AUSTEL does not accept CB reports as such however they will accept
reports from NAMAS approved labs in the UK and any other lab which has been
accredited by an organization with a MOU (Memorandum of Understanding)
with NATA (Australian NAMAS equivalent).
As I mentioned in a previous message, there are presently 2 CB accredited
labs in Australia. They can produce their own report from a report
from another CB lab.

I would like to add/ask for some clarification to the CB scheme. I have seen
this work very well for Information Technology Equipment (ITE). I have had some
bad experience with the Telephone Terminal Equipment (TTE). The bad experience
was 2 - 3 years ago when we tried to use it with TTE in Australia, at that time
Austel did not recognize the CB Scheme. The Standards Australia did accept the
CB Scheme for ITE.
I know there have been several changes in Australia and I have not been getting
approvals in Australia for the last 2 years. Has there been a change? Does
Austel accept the CB Scheme?
The UK was the same way. BABT did not accept the CB Scheme but British
Electrotechnical Approval Board does, I presume for ITE. Now it has moved to a
self declare in the EU so the CB Scheme would work for ITE and TTE. As long as
the report is done the EN60950.
TIPS
Whoever does the CB Scheme for you, UL, CSA, DEMKO, etc.... can provide a list
of the countries AND the regulatory bodies in the country that accept the CB
Scheme.
Make sure the CB Scheme is done to the standards of ALL the countries you
intend to go, for ITE this is easier then TTE.
Make sure ALL the national deviations are included in the test report.
Anybody else want to add to this list?

Some time ago Brian Kunde wrote about Australia accepting IEC CB
reports.
I must apologize firstly that I have taken this long to respond.
I have been overseas for a week.
Brian is correct. It is possible to use an IEC CB report, gained from
an IEC CB accredited test house. Such reports can only be accepted
however by the IEC CB recognised labs in Australia. They can not be
authorized/accepted by all labs in Australia. There are presently
two labs in Australia and one in New Zealand.
such labs, when presented with a report from another (overseas) CB
accredited lab would examine the report to ensure all Australian
requirements (deviations or variations to the relevant internationl
standard) were in fact tested and then produce a report under their
letterhead stating compliance.

Kevin

An additional method to obtain safety approval in Australia (if it is sti=

other countries that we did when I worked for Zenith Data Systems was to =
obtain a =93CB=94=20
Test Report and Certificate based on the appropriate IEC version of the s=
tandard (for IT=20
equipment it is IEC950). We obtained this from NEMKO, but now I understa=
nd you can get=20
CB R&C in North America from UL, ETL, CSA, etc. =20
The purpose of the =93CB=94 scheme is so testing can be done at one lab a=

would have to be excepted by other labs, though a review of the product m=

For Australia, we would send our CB R&C to a company representative in A=

would take it with any additional information to the proper authorities. =
At this point=20

I believe this method is still used. Maybe others could comment on their=
