Certification introduction

SAA is the abbreviation of Standards Association of Australia and is the standard setting agency of Australia. In 1999, it was changed from an 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 the Australian certification as SAA certification. In fact, SAA is only a standard setting agency, and does not issue product certifications.

SAA does not have a fixed mark, which is indicated by a certificate number. After a certificate is issued by a nationally recognized laboratory institution, the abbreviated code of the certification company and the registration certificate number are the "safety marks", and the certification number needs to be marked on the label.

SAA certification, C-Tick, A-Tick and RCM

SAA certification is for the control and safety regulations, C-Tick certification for EMC and radio products, and A-Tick certification for telecommunications products. The RCM mark is a certification mark launched in 2013. After the product has obtained the safety certification and electromagnetic compatibility registration, the RCM mark can be obtained through the safety certification regulatory body. From March 1, 2016, the electronic and electrical products sold must uniformly use the RCM logo; 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

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

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

2. Non-Declared Electrical Products refer to products other than mandatory certification, such as commercial kitchen appliances. Although non-regulated products are not obliged to obtain certification, their safety is the responsibility of the seller / manufacturer, and they can apply for certification voluntarily. The monitoring department will issue a Certificate of Suitability to products that meet the requirements of the standard. Electrical products that have obtained the certificate of conformity can be marked with a certificate number. The final letter of the certificate shows which state or region the certificate was issued by.
