What is Australian SAA certification?

saa certification is accredited by the Standards Association of Australia (SAA), so many friends refer to it as Australian Certification. Products listed on the mandatory list for entry into Australia (including Australia and New Zealand) must pass this certification and have the certification certificate number stamped on them to legally enter the Australian market. Australia and New Zealand have a bilateral agreement on standard mutual recognition, so all products certified by SAA can smoothly enter the New Zealand market for sale.

Types of SAA Certification:

There are two types of SAA certification: mandatory and voluntary.

Application Methods:

One method is to use a cb certificate + report (CB must have Australian deviations), and the other is to use an IEC standard report + Australian deviation transfer.

Scope of SAA Certification:

There are approximately 62 categories for mandatory certification, such as external power supplies or chargers, wires, plugs, and some household appliances. Regulated electrical appliances must obtain a certification issued by the monitoring department, namely SAA certification, and must comply with regulations (must have the certificate number stamped).
