SAA authentication - Overview

Standards Australia. Standards Association of Australian, so many of my friendsput Australia certified SAA certification. SAA is actually the standard setting body,but not issued product certification. SAA and later renamed: Standards AustraliaLimited. SAA is a separate companies, and has no direct relationship with the government, but the federal government and state government is one of itsmembers. SAA and the Australian federal government signed a memorandum,acknowledged that SAA is the highest in Australia non government standards organization. The memo also pointed out, the formulation of standards and the requirements of the WTO agreement to. Therefore, there is agreement pointed out when the appropriate international standards already exist, without making a new standard of australia. Australian standards beginning with "AS", combined with the standard of Australia and New Zealand begins with "AS/NZS". Australiaand New Zealand standard criteria are basically consistent with the IEC, at the same time, there are some national differences. The mutual recognition of Australia and New Zealand to implement unified standard and certification,product as long as there is a national certification will be in another countrysales.

SAA certification certification / supervision mechanism

Australia is a federal state, electrical safety certification requirements and energy consumption, control and management work by monitoring department of each state or region (Regulatory Authority) in accordance with the state / regionalcertification program. The issue of any one state certificate equally effective in other states / regions, without any additional procedures. In addition, SAA standard setting institution wholly owned subsidiary of QAS (Quality AssuranceServices Pty Ltd.) is Australia's NCB (National Certification Body), the certificate issued by also to admit that each state or region, have the same effect.

2 Western Australia Technical and Safety Division (Office of Energy)

3 New South Wales Safety and Standards Branch (OFT) (Office of Fair Trading) - formerly known as (DOFT)

4 Energy Safe Victoria (ESV) - formerly known as (OCEI)

Australia has no safety certification sign of unity, each state or region has in the form of legislation provides for the management method of electrical products.Although the name and the date of the enactment of not the same, the contentabout electrical safety legislation in each state or region consistent. Electricalproducts are divided into control class electrical (prescribed product) and noncontrol products (Non-prescribed product).

SAA certification mark

The control type of electrical products according to AS/NZS4417.2 classification,including electric equipment, refrigeration equipment, electric tools, spare partsetc.. The directory published in the Government Gazette, and according to the actual situation of increase. The Lanzhou, New South Wales and Vitoria in the process of authentication is the most active. In Queensland, Lanzhou as an example, the power law (the electricity Act 1994) announced the detailed provisions electrical certification, sales and use.
