SAA stands for Standards Association of Australia, which is the standard setting body in Australia. In 1999, it was changed from an association to a limited company, known as Standards Australia International Limited, abbreviated as SAI. SAI is an independent joint-stock company with no direct relationship with the government. We often refer to Australian certification as SAA certification, but in reality, SAA is only a standard 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 nationally recognized laboratory institution issues a certificate, it is labeled with the certification company abbreviation code and registration certificate number as the "safety label". The certification number needs to be printed on the label.

Basic Information of SAA Certification

Technical information: AC240V/50Hz for AU;  AC 230V/50Hz for New Zealand

Mandatory: Mandatory+Voluntary

Certificate validity period: up to 5 years

Factory inspection requirements: none

Requirements for the certificate holder: It is necessary to have a locally registered company or a local agent holding the certificate

The relationship between SAA certification, C-Tick, A-Tick, and RCM

SAA certification controls safety regulations, C-Tick certification controls EMC and wireless products, and A-Tick certification controls telecommunications products. The RCM mark is a certification mark introduced in 2013. After obtaining safety certification and electromagnetic compatibility registration, products can obtain the RCM mark through safety certification regulatory agencies. Starting from March 1st, 2016, electronic and electrical products sold must uniformly start using the RCM logo; The A-tick and C-tick logos will be replaced. RCM can be understood as a registration system that includes SAA and C-TICK.

Applicable product scope

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

1. Declared Electrical Products covers 56 major categories of products, such as external power sources or chargers, wires, plugs, household appliances (60335-2-9, -14, 15, -23, -80), lighting fixtures (60598-2-4), etc. Controlled electrical appliances are required to obtain a certificate of approval issued by the monitoring department, namely SAA certification, and are required to be labeled (with a certificate number).

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