What Certifications Are Required for Battery Chargers Exported to Australia and New Zealand?
Product Spotlights
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.
