IEC e-Learning module M 11 -03 2/18

Complexity of world trade The Problem WTO TBT Agreement § Equal treatment for domestic and foreign suppliers Encourages suppliers to export § Harmonizing effect on standards across different countries Suppliers can manufacture to the same standard for all countries § National conformity assessment requirements are appropriate but not harmonized Different country requirements means longer delay & higher cost to market § Lower cost , higher quality and more choice of products IEC e-Learning module Quality is still good, but choice is lower & cost is higher M 11 -03 2/18

Complexity of world trade The Problem Different country requirements means longer delay & higher cost to market IEC e-Learning module M 11 -03 3/18

Complexity of world trade The Problem Higher costs and longer time to market low incentive to export less world trade less prosperity Doing the same test(s) many times Doing different tests IEC e-Learning module Countries with identical conformity assessment requirements don’t recognize the test results from other countries Different country requirements means longer delay & higher cost to market M 11 -03 3/18

Complexity of world trade The Problem IEC e-Learning module M 11 -03 4/18

Complexity of world trade The Problem Solution one standard, one test performed anywhere, one conformity assessment result accepted everywhere IECEE IEC e-Learning module M 11 -03 4/18

IECEE IEC System for Conformity testing and Certification of Electrotechnical Equipment and Components • Facilitate international trade • Simplify market access • Electrical equipment • Homes, offices, workshops, healthcare facilities and so on • Benefits for consumers, industry and government authorities IEC e-Learning module M 11 -03 5/18

IECEE IEC System for Conformity testing and Certification of Electrotechnical Equipment and Components IEC e-Learning module M 11 -03 6/18

IECEE IEC System for Conformity testing and Certification of Electrotechnical Equipment and Components • A membership and rules-based international organization • The members write the rules and they abide by the rules • One Member Body per country • Open to all CBs and TLs IEC e-Learning module M 11 -03 6/18

IECEE IEC e-Learning module M 11 -03 7/18

IECEE Principles • IECEE is non-profit • IECEE is neutral and transparent • IECEE is market driven • IECEE does not do any conformity assessment (CA) itself (not testing, not certification, etc) • IECEE creates an international framework in which commercial CA organizations operate IEC e-Learning module M 11 -03 7/18

IECEE Principles IEC e-Learning module M 11 -03 8/18

IECEE Principles • Mutual Recognition Agreement (reciprocal acceptance) • Recognition & reciprocal acceptance is achieved due to the confidence created by Peer-Assessment • Granting of “National Mark” and access approval to markets for electrical products is based on IECEE certificates. IEC e-Learning module M 11 -03 8/18

IECEE Principles IEC e-Learning module M 11 -03 9/18

IECEE Principles • The members write the rules and they abide by the rules • Participating CBs and TLs help write the operational documents (ODs) and must operate according to those ODs • Peer-assessment is used to check that the CBs and TLs have the required skill levels and competencies • Peer-assessment is also used to check that the CBs and TLs actually do operate according to the ODs IEC e-Learning module M 11 -03 9/18

IECEE Principles IEC e-Learning module M 11 -03 10/18

IECEE Principles = Value • Access to markets is based on IECEE Test Certificates which are based on IEC International Standards • All CBs & TLs do their certification and testing, according to the ODs • This creates consistent and comparable results • Results recognized around the world due to peer-assessment confidence IEC e-Learning module M 11 -03 10/18
