The British Electrotechnical Approvals Board (BEAB) was an electrical safety and certification organization in the UK, with the introduction of Harmonized European Standards meant that local certification of electrical products was no longer permitted.

The British Electrotechnical Approvals Board (BEAB) was formed in 1960 by Regional Electricity Companies, manufacturers and retailer as the British Electrical Approvals Board for Domestic Appliances.

It was based on Cockspur Street in London and test facilities at a laboratory owned by the British Electrical Development Association in Leatherhead; this later became the Appliance Testing Laboratories of the Electricity Council.

Domestic electrical appliances with the BEAB Mark of Approval meant that they had reached a required safety standard (BS 3456).

This mark means the item has been tested and deemed to be safe - it is a safety guarantee.
