First, SAA certification profile
SAA certification is the abbreviation of the Standards Association of Australian in English. With the continuous development of the business, the Quality Certification Services Co., Ltd. was added in 1990. In 1999, the agency completely abandoned the association's nature and has been registered as a company (Standards Australia Limited).
Australian International Standards Corporation is relatively neutral to the government and users, and has no direct relationship with the government, but the federal and state governments are members of it. In 1988, it signed a memorandum of understanding with the federal government, recognizing SAA as the highest organization of Australian non-governmental standards organizations, and clarifying its independence and authority in Australia. The company is headquartered in Sydney, has offices in various states, employs more than 500 people, and has branches in India, Indonesia and New Zealand.
Whether imported or assembled in Australia, electrical products before entering the Australian market must meet SAA certification, and all electrical products must pass SAA safety certification.
Second, SAA certification mark
There are two main types of SAA certification marks, one is formal certification and the other is standard marking. Formal certification is only responsible for the samples, and the standard mark is required for each factory inspection. The scope of SAA certification is mainly divided into quality management system, environmental management system, occupational health and safety management, information security management, and HACCP food safety management.

Fourth, SAA certification notice
1. SAA is an electrical product entering the Australian market that must comply with local safety regulations, which is a certification often faced by the industry. Due to the mutual recognition agreement between Australia and New Zealand, all products that have obtained Australian certification can smoothly enter the New Zealand market for sale.
2. Formal certification is only responsible for the sample, and the standard mark is required for each factory inspection. At present, there are two ways to apply for SAA certification in China. One is to pass the CB test report. If there is no CB test report, you can also apply directly.
3. Australian standards begin with "AS", and Australia-New Zealand joint standards begin with "AS / NZS". Australian standards and New Zealand standards are basically consistent with the IEC, and there are some national differences. Australia and New Zealand promote the harmonization of standards and mutual recognition of certifications, as long as the products have obtained certification from one country, they can be sold in another country.
4. In the scope of SAA certification, currently Chinese manufacturers applying for SAA certification are mainly limited to product certification. According to different product types, product certification mainly adopts two methods: "formal approval" and "standard mark". Among them, "formal approval" only requires manufacturers to provide product samples for testing according to SAA's product standards, and "standard marks" require factory inspections in addition to the sample testing. Generally, factories are required to have an effective quality management system in the production process of applying for certification.
