I. Introduction to SAA Certification
SAA certification is a certification that electrical products must comply with local safety regulations to enter the Australian market, which frequently encountered in the industry. Due to the mutual recognition agreement between Australia and New Zealand, all products that obtain Australian certification can smoothly enter the New Zealand market for sale. Australian standards start "AS", and the joint standards of Australia and New Zealand start with "AS/NZS". Australian standards are basically consistent with IEC standards, while some national differences exist. Australia and Zealand promote the unification of standards and mutual recognition of certifications, so that products can be sold in the other country once they obtain certification from one country.

IV. SAA Certification Application Methods
Currently, there are two ways to apply for SAA certification in China: one is through a CB test report, and if there is no CB test report, you can also apply directly. There are mainly two types of SAA certification marks: one is formal recognition, and the other is standard mark. Formal recognition only requires sample testing, while the standard mark requires a factory audit for each product.
