Australian downlight/lighting RCM/SAA certification

Australian certification introduction Australia's standards body is the Standards Association of Australian, so many friends refer to the Australian certification as SAA certification. In fact, SAA is only a standard-setting organization and does not issue a product certification. SAA was later renamed: Standards Australia Limited. SAA is an independent company and has no direct relationship with the government, but the federal and state governments are among its members. SAA and the Australian Federal Government have signed a memorandum recognizing that SAA is the highest organization of Australia's non-governmental standards organization. The memorandum also pointed out that the development of standards should be consistent with the requirements of the WTO. Therefore, there are agreements pointing out that when appropriate international standards already exist, there is no need to develop new Australian standards. Australian standards begin with “AS” and Australian and New Zealand joint standards begin with “AS/NZS”. Australian standards and New Zealand standards are basically the same as the IEC, and there are some national differences. Australia and New Zealand promote mutual recognition of standards and certification, and products can be sold in another country as long as they are certified by one country. SAA is an electrical product that enters the Australian market and is subject to local safety regulations, which are often faced by the industry. Thanks to the mutual recognition agreement between Australia and New Zealand, all products that have obtained Australian certification can successfully enter the New Zealand market. All electrical products are subject to safety certification (SAA). There are two main types of SAA logos, one is formal approval and the other is standard. 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 apply directly. Certification mark State Approved Number In Australia, you can apply for the safety certification number issued by the government. This certification only has the number and no mark. You need to print this number on the nameplate of the product, for example: 1. Queensland: Q051123 2. Western Australia: W2015 3. Victoria: V99, V05212 4. New South Wales: NSW22736, N19022 5. South Australia: S1, S442 6. Tasmania: T05123 7. Australian Capital Territory: A050 Certification application process 1. Fill in the application form 2, product sample test 3.

Plug Test Report (SAA needs to provide AU Plug Test Report) Certification period Under normal circumstances, IT AV lamps and small household appliances are commonly used in Australia for SAA certification. The period is 3-4 weeks. If the product quality is not up to standard, the date may be extended. When submitting the report to the Australian state, you need to provide the SAA certificate for the product plug (mainly for the product with plug), otherwise it will not be handled, the important component SAA certificate in the product, like the lamp needs to provide the transformer SAA certificate inside the lamp, otherwise Australian audit information is not passed
