Australia SAA safety authentication

Certification Introduction

SAA is the abbreviation of Standards Association of Australia (Standards Association of Australia), which is Australia's standard setting agency. In 1999,
it was changed from the association to a limited company, called Standards Australia International Limited, or SAI for short. SAI is an independent joint
stock company and has no direct relationship with the government. We often refer to Australian certification as SAA certification. In fact, SAA is only a
standard-setting organization and does not issue product certification.

SAA does not have a fixed mark. It is represented by a certificate number. After a nationally recognized laboratory organization issues a certificate,
the abbreviated code of the certification company and the registration number are the "safety mark", and the certification number needs to be printed
on the label.

The relationship between SAA certification, C-Tick, A-Tick and RCM

SAA certification is for the management and control of safety regulations, C-Tick certification controls EMC and radio products, and A-Tick certification controls
telecommunications products. The RCM mark is a certification mark launched in 2013. After the product has obtained safety certification and electromagnetic
compatibility registration, it can obtain the RCM mark through the safety certification regulatory agency. Starting from March 1, 2016, all electronic and electrical
products sold must begin to use the RCM logo uniformly; the A-tick and C-tick logos will be replaced. RCM can be understood as a registration system, including
SAA and C-TICK.

Applicable product range

The products controlled by SAA certification can be divided into two types: mandatory electronic products and non-mandatory electronic products:

1. Declared Electrical Products (Declared Electrical Products) covers 56 categories of products, such as external power supplies or chargers, wires, plugs, home appliances
(60335-2-9, -14, 15, -23, -80), lamps (60598- 2-4) etc. Regulated electrical appliances must obtain a certificate of approval (certificate of approval) issued by the monitoring
department, that is, SAA certification, and require a logo (must be marked with a certificate number).

2. Non-Declared Electrical Products (Non-Declared Electrical Products) refers to products other than compulsory certification, such as commercial kitchen appliances.
Although certification is not mandatory for non-regulated products, the seller/manufacturer is responsible for its safety and can apply for certification voluntarily.
The monitoring department will issue a certificate of suitability for products that meet the requirements of the standard. Electrical products that have obtained a
certificate of conformity can be marked with a certificate number, and the last letter of the certificate shows which state or region the certificate is issued by.

Electrical products exported to Australia must meet electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards. If they fail to meet the requirements,
they will receive the following treatment:

Detain or confiscate products;

Or fine, generally an individual is fined about US$10,000, and a company is fined about US$200,000.
