About SAA Certificate
Australian standards bodies of Standards Association of Australian, so many of my friends called the Australian certification SAA certification. SAA is actually just standard-setting bodies, without issuing product certification. SAA and later renamed: Standards Australia Limited. SAA is an independent company, no direct relationship with the government, but the federal and state governments are among its members. SAA and the Australian Federal Government has signed a memorandum acknowledged SAA is an Australian non-governmental organizations of the highest standards organization.
Memo also pointed out that the development of standards to be consistent with WTO requirements. Therefore, when there is an agreement that the appropriate international standards already exist, they do not develop new Australian standards. Australia’s criteria “AS” at the beginning, the Joint Standards Australia and New Zealand to “AS / NZS” at the beginning. Standards Australia and New Zealand with the IEC standard basic agreement, but there are some national differences. Australia and New Zealand to implement the harmonization of standards and mutual recognition of certification, product by obtaining a national certification can be sold in another country.
Certification / oversight bodies
Australia is a federal state, electrical safety and energy requirements of the certification, control and management of work by each state or territory control department (Regulatory Authority) in accordance with the state / regional certification procedures. Certificate issued by any state in other states / territories.
Equally effective, without any additional procedures. In addition, SAA standard-setting bodies, a wholly owned subsidiary of QAS (Quality Assurance Services Pty Ltd.) Is Australia’s NCB (National Certification Body), whose certificates are issued to each state or territory recognition has the same effect.

but there are minor differences; therefore, the Australian difference must be written in the report, and special attention to the special requirements of the pin; Australia voltage single phase 240V, three-phase 415V , frequency 50Hz.
