Let’s be clear: CB certification costs range from ¥5,000 to ¥50,000, depending on product type, certification body, and project structure.
CB certification involves multiple cost items, not a single fee.
1. Testing Fee (Largest Mandatory Cost)
Charged per product standard package, not per test item.2026 market reference:
·Simple products (small adapters): ¥5,000–8,000
·Medium-complexity (small appliances): ¥8,000–15,000
·Complex products (high-power supplies, advanced appliances): ¥15,000–30,000
·Battery products (IEC 62133): ¥20,000–40,000
2. Application & Certificate Fee (Fixed Range)
Paid to NCBs:
·Application fee: ¥1,000–3,000
·Certificate fee: ¥1,000–2,000
Beware: Claims of “extra 175 francs for non-member countries” are not official IECEE rules but added service charges.
3. Factory Inspection Fee (Optional)
Only for CB-FCS.
·Cost: ¥8,000–15,000
·Recommendation: Skip unless required by clients; better value during CCC/CE certification.
4. Hidden Costs
·Retesting fees after failure
·English translation of documents
·Expedite fees (can double cost)
II. Key Factors Affecting CB Price
1.Product complexity: Simple = low cost; complex, high-power, battery, wireless = high cost.
2.Series certification: Test 1–2 main models fully; others only difference testing. Can drastically reduce cost. Rules vary by NCB.
3.NCB tier:
·Famous foreign NCBs: ¥20,000–40,000
·Authorized Chinese NCBs: ¥10,000–20,000
·Unqualified bodies: Cheap but high risk
4.Standard revisions: Most do not increase cost; only IEC 61347-1:2024 may slightly raise fees.
5.ACP mode: Mandatory for photobiological/laser products since Feb 2025, replacing CB — not an extra fee.
III. Critical 2026 Notes
·ACP is mandatory for IEC 62471 / IEC 60825-1 products.
·Standard revisions do not universally raise prices by 10–30%.
·NCB pricing varies widely in 2026.
CB certification is only the first step; additional costs apply for national conversion.For consultation, contact BLUEASIA Testing & Certification Consultant: +86 13534225140 (Benson).
