Australian SAA certification
Certification introduction
SAA is the abbreviation of Standards Association of Australia and
is Australia's standards-setting organization. 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 with no direct relationship with
the government. We often refer to Australian certification as SAA
certification. In fact, SAA is just a standards-setting
organization and does not issue product certification certificates.
SAA does not have a fixed logo and is represented by a certificate
number. After a certificate is issued by a nationally recognized
laboratory organization, it is marked with the abbreviation code of
the certification company and the registration certificate number,
which is the "safety mark". The certification number needs to be
printed on the label.

The relationship between SAA certification, C-Tick, A-Tick and RCM
SAA certification controls 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 a product obtains 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 uniformly use the RCM mark; the A-tick and C-tick marks 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. Mandatory products (Declared Electrical Products) cover 56 major
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 issued by the monitoring
department, that is, SAA certification, and must be marked
(certificate number must be stamped).
2. Non-Declared Electrical Products refer to products other than
compulsory certification, such as commercial kitchen appliances,
etc. Although non-regulated products are not required to obtain
certification, the seller/manufacturer is responsible for their
safety and can apply for certification voluntarily. The monitoring
department will issue a Certificate of Suitability to products that
meet the standard requirements. Electrical products that have
obtained a certificate of compliance can be marked with a
certificate number. The last letter on the certificate shows which
state or region the certificate was issued by.

Electrical products exported to Australia must comply with
electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards. If
they fail to meet the requirements, they will receive the following
treatment:
Detain or confiscate products;
Or be fined. Generally, the fine is about US$10,000 for an
individual and about US$200,000 for a company.
