Recently, the Australian/New Zealand Bureau of Standards issued AS/NZS4417.2: 2012 Amendment Standard for Electrical and Electronic Products Compliance Marks Fourth Revision A4:2017. The revision expands the list of controlled products, reclassifies the security level of some products, and updates the definition of some products. It is worth noting that this revision will add six types of products, such as LED bulbs and nightlights, to the scope of compulsory certification products.
The standard stipulates that from June 1st, 2018, LED bulbs and nightlights entering the Australian market must first apply for a mandatory safety certificate (SAA certification).
It is reported that SAA Australia International Standards Corporation is the only standard certification body in Australia. Regardless of whether it is imported or assembled in Australia, before entering the Australian market, it must first pass the certification of Australian International Standards. Thanks to the mutual recognition agreement between Australia and New Zealand, all Australian certified products can be successfully entered into the New Zealand market.
There are two main types of SAA logos, one is formal approval and the other is standard. Formal approval is only responsible for the sample, and the standard mark is subject to factory inspection. The expansion of the Australian safety compulsory certification product range will greatly increase the production and testing costs of the company. Once the product quality is not up to the standard requirements, it will be subject to economic losses due to the spot check and notification by the Australian market.
It is understood that electric light source and lighting products belong to key export products in Shaoxing, involving more than 100 export enterprises, with an annual output value of more than 600 million US dollars. In recent years, Shaoxing exported LED products due to foreign technology trade barriers and returned cases gradually increased, the reasons for returning products related to product certification, energy efficiency label, origin identification.
In response to the new policy introduced by Australia and New Zealand, Shaoxing Inspection and Quarantine Bureau reminded relevant lighting manufacturers to export to Australia: we should pay attention to the revision of the standards for electrical and electronic products in Australia, study and study the new standards, and do a good job in dealing with technical trade measures. To improve the quality of self-inspection and self-control of product quality, in the quality management, good raw materials, production safety and export inspection, use raw materials and parts that meet the standard requirements; find professional third-party institutions for testing and certification, According to the standards of the importing country, the early detection and check-outs should be prepared before the end of the transition period.
