Update time : 2024-10-03

SAA certification (Standards Association of Australia) refers to a safety certification mark issued by the Standards Association of Australia, which confirms that a product complies with Australian and New Zealand electrical safety standards. For electrical products seeking entry into the Australian and New Zealand markets, saa certification is an important certification process.

 

Which products require SAA certification?(图1)


Product categories requiring SAA certification

Based on existing information, the products that need SAA certification can be broadly categorized as follows:

 

1. Regulated electrical appliances:

   These must obtain a recognized certificate issued by the regulatory department, and the specified marking (certificate number) must be displayed. This category includes, but is not limited to, household appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, computers, water heaters, kitchen appliances, as well as industrial electrical equipment.

   The prefix letters of the certificate number indicate the state or region issuing the certificate, for example: Q91610 (Queensland), W2015 (Western Australia), N10422 (New South Wales).

 

2. Unregulated electrical appliances:

   Although unregulated appliances do not require certification, they still need to comply with Australian safety standards, and in some cases, suppliers may need to provide a Declaration of Conformity (DoC).

 

3. Other products:

   - Electronic products;

   - Machinery and equipment;

   - Building materials and chemical products;

   - Child and protective products;

   - Food and agricultural products.

 

Special Note

It is worth noting that, according to information from 2020, SAA certification and C-Tick certification will gradually be phased out, to be replaced by the rcm certification (Regulatory Compliance Mark), which covers safety regulations and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility). However, C-Tick may still apply to some low-power wireless products.

 

 

For manufacturers planning to export to the Australian and New Zealand markets, understanding which products require SAA certification is crucial. In particular, the regulated electrical appliances mentioned above must obtain SAA certification to be sold legally. Although there is information that SAA certification will be replaced by RCM certification, manufacturers should stay updated with the latest regulatory changes and ensure that their products comply with all relevant local safety standards. It is recommended to work with professional certification bodies to ensure that products meet all necessary safety requirements.
