Battery chargers that plug into 240V mains electricity are considered medium to high risk in Australia and New Zealand, and must undergo SAA safety + EMC + RCM registration. Those with Australian plugs must also separately comply with AS/NZS 3112.

1. Relationship between SAA and RCM:

* SAA: Safety Approval Authority (only responsible for safety)

* RCM: Australian and New Zealand Market Access Mark = SAA Safety + EMC + (Wireless)

II. Applicable standards for battery chargers (2026)

1) Safety (required for SAA)

* AS/NZS 60335-1: General Safety for Household Appliances

* AS/NZS 60335-2-29: Specifically for battery chargers (key point) EESS

* For IT/mobile phone chargers: AS/NZS 62368-1

* With Australian plug: AS/NZS 3112 (plug is certified separately)

2) EMC (RCM required)

* AS/NZS CISPR 32: Conducted/Radiated Disturbances

* With Bluetooth / Wi‑Fi: plus AS/NZS 4268

3) Energy efficiency (GEMS/MEPS, mandatory)

* AS/NZS 4665: Energy Efficiency of External Power Supplies (No-load Power Consumption, Efficiency)

III. Processing procedure (4-5 weeks)

1. Documentation: English manual, circuit diagram, BOM, key component certificates, nameplate

2. Sample delivery: 2-3 units (including plugs)

3. Testing:

    * Safety: AS/NZS 60335-2-29 → SAA Certificate

    * EMC: CISPR 32 → EMC Report

    * Energy Efficiency: AS/NZS 4665 → GEMS Report

4. RCM registration: Submission through the EESS system requires an Australian local importer/responsible person

5. Labeling: RCM Mark + SAA Number + Energy Efficiency Rating

Battery charger (240V) = medium to high risk = SAA safety + EMC + energy efficiency GEMS + RCM registration, all are essential.

For battery charger exports to Australia and New Zealand, SAA+RCM certification is essential. We provide full-service agency and assistance in rectification, helping products comply with regulations and get listed. Feel free to communicate with us if you have any needs.
