Certification introduction
SAA is the abbreviation of the Standards Association of Australia and is Australia's standard-setting agency. In 1999, it was changed from an association to a limited company, called Standards Australia International Limited, or SAI for short. SAI is an independent joint-stock company with no direct relationship with the government. We often call Australian certification SAA certification. In fact, SAA is just a standard setting agency and does not issue product certification certificates.
SAA does not have a fixed logo, and it is represented by a certificate number. After a nationally recognized laboratory institution issues a certificate, it is marked with the abbreviation code of the certification company and the registration certificate number as a "safety mark". The certification number needs to be marked on the label.

2. Non-Declared Electrical Products (Non-Declared Electrical Products) refer to products other than mandatory certification, such as commercial kitchen appliances. Although non-regulated products do not obtain certification for compulsory 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 compliance to products that meet the standard requirements. Electrical products that obtain the compliance certificate can be marked with a certificate number. The last letter of the certificate shows which state or region issued the certificate.
