HONG KONG, Aug. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- TUV Rheinland is the top certificate issuing body in the CB system for the 8th straight year, according to a 2012 report published by the Worldwide System for Conformity Testing and Certification of Electrotechnical Equipment and Components (IECEE). The company placed first in terms of total number of product certificates issued and second in the IT and office equipment (OFF), battery (BATT), household and similar appliances (HOUS), and audio-video (TRON) certification category.

In 2012, Chinese companies continued to remain far ahead of other countries and regions. The number of Chinese applications was seven times that of the US in second place. Chinese exports have remained steady amid globalisation and acquiring CB certification has helped Chinese products enter the international market. TUV Rheinland issued 14,440 certificates in 2012, representing 19% of all certificates issued. In the IT and office equipment (OFF), battery (BATT), household and similar appliances (HOUSE), and audio-video (AV) product categories, TUV Rheinland's certificate issuing rate ranked second place. Achievements showed that TUV Rheinland provides professional testing service in electrotechnical equipment and components and has a high reputation in the area.
