澳大利亚新西兰AS/NZS 3820电气安全认证

一、关于AS/NZS 3820（此处为简写，文末有原英文版祥细介绍）也许你常看到出口到澳大利亚/新西兰的产品要符合AS/NZS 3820:2020电气安全认证那么，什么是AS/NZS 3820:2020呢？AS/NZS 3820:2020是电气设备基本安全要求，该标准为澳洲新西兰所有电气安全准则引用的基础标准，尽管不会依据该标准签发证书，但是所有的证书签发都以此标准为基础，3820要求所有电气产品都是安全合规的，符合其相应的澳洲标准，如果某项标准没有澳洲偏差， 那么就参照IEC标准。所有进入澳洲市场，功率为230/400V的电气产品都必须符合AS/NZS 3820，所有功率为230/400V的家用产品，现在都收到EESS的管制。所有三级（EESS）以及强制认证类产品(REAS)都必须经由拥有JAS-ANZ资质的认证单位，或者ESV，新南威尔士 NSW等政府单位进行认证。二级产品(EESS)无须进行认证，但是澳大利亚的终端客户往往会要求也对此类产品进行认证。二、关于EESSEESS为一系列规则的简称，全称设备安全准则。该准则被昆士兰，维多利亚, 西澳以及塔斯马尼亚的法律法规所引用。EESS被除新南威尔士之外的所有州认可，新西兰在某些条件下亦认可EESS。这些州要求所有进口澳洲的低电压（ 50-1000Vac, 120-1500VDC）家用产品都必须标有RCM标记，并符合所有设备安全准备。EESS也要求进口商确保对所有二级，三级产品进行注册登记。该要求自2018年开始就一直施行。三、做澳洲认证需要哪些资料1、申请表（申请人信息及产品信息）2、铭牌（产品印字及参数）3、产品说明书（包含电路图）4、产品关键部件表5、样品四、澳洲认证办理流程及周期（如下图）1、咨询沟通2、确认认证方案3、签订合同4、样品测试5、测试合格后出报告并申请证书6、证书下发7、售后服务澳洲SAA/EESS认证周期：一般为从收到样品起的35个工作日左右，如有需要，可以申请加急五、澳洲认证费用澳洲SAA/EESS认证费用跟产品以及产品适用的标准相关，需要提供具体的产品信息才能提供具体费用以下附上澳洲EEESS官网上对AS/NZS 3820的原文介绍：Essential Safety CriteriaLegislation of participating jurisdictions in the EESS aims to ensure electrical equipment manufactured or imported into Australia is electrically safe.Primary duties of care require a person conducting a business or undertaking to ensure the business is conducted in a way that is “electrically safe.” This includes making sure the electrical equipment used, designed, manufactured, imported and supplied is also “electrically safe”.“Electrically safe” for electrical equipment, for example, as defined in Queensland legislation is:electrically safemeans, for electrical equipment or an electrical installation, that all persons and property arefree fromelectrical riskfrom the equipment or installation.free fromelectrical risk, for a person or property, means that—(a) electrical risk to the person or property has been eliminated, so far as isreasonably practicable; or(b) if it is not reasonably practicable to eliminate electrical risk to the person or property, the risk has been minimised so far as isreasonably practicable.The term “reasonable practicable” is structured on a risk management. The term “reasonable practicable”, for example, in Queensland legislation is defined as:reasonably practicable, in relation to a dutyto ensure electrical safety, means that which is, or was at a particular time, reasonably able to be done in relation to ensuring electrical safety,taking into account and weighing up all relevant matters including—(a) the likelihood of the hazard or the risk concerned happening; and(b) the degree of harm that might result from the hazard or the risk; and(c) what the person concerned knows, or ought reasonably to know, about—(i) the hazard or the risk; and(ii) ways of eliminating or minimising the risk; and(d) the availability and suitability of ways to eliminate or minimise the risk; and(e) after assessing the extent of the risk and the available ways of eliminating or minimising the risk, the cost associated with available ways of eliminating or minimising the risk, including whether the cost is grossly disproportionate to the risk.The joint Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 3820 Essential safety requirements of electrical equipment, is one part of the framework used by Electrical Safety Regulatory Authorities to ensure suppliers of electrical equipment are aware of the requirements to ensure equipment they supply is electrically safe and meets the safety criteria. This applies to all electrical equipment irrespective of the Electrical Equipment Safety System (EESS).The requirements to meet the safety criteria is a starting point of a supplier to ensure the equipment is electrically safe, however, it may not be everything a supplier will need to do. Suppliers should address all the risks of the equipment to ensure is electrically safe.AS/NZS 3820 prescribes outcome-orientated safety criteria for electrical equipment. Compliance with the safety criteria can generally be demonstrating by compliance to the relevant standards. However, AS/NZS 3820 acknowledges that such compliance with the safety criteria may not be recognised if:there is a shortcoming in the product Standardthere is an inappropriate application of the product Standardthere is a failure to comply with good engineering practice as referred to in Clause 1 of AS/NZS 3820.In relation to relevant standard, for example, as defined in Queensland legislation is:(1) The relevant standard for electrical equipment is— means:(a) if there is a Standards Australia or joint Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand standard that applies specifically to the type—that standard together with AS/NZS3820 (Essential safety requirements for electrical equipment); or(b) if there is not a Standards Australia or joint Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand standard that applies specifically to the type and there is an IEC standard that applies specifically to the type—the IEC standard together with AS/NZS3820; or(c) if neither paragraph (a) nor (b) applies—then AS/NZS3820.(2) In this section—IEC standard means an International Electrotechnical Commission standard.AS/NZS 3820 also indicates that at times, more than one or more standards may apply to an item of equipment. Furthermore, claimed compliance to a relevant standard or standards may not be valid if the equipment is involved in incidents where it has failed due to design or manufacturing failures, etc.The supplier of electrical equipment should have sufficient technical documentation (it can be in the form of technical construction/compliance file) that demonstrates the conformity of the electrical equipment to the requirements of AS/NZS 3820. It must, as far as relevant for such an assessment, cover the design, manufacture and operation of the electrical equipment, in English, and must include (but not limited to):(a) a general description of the electrical equipment including photographs(b) conceptual design and manufacturing drawings and schemes of components, subassemblies, circuits(c) descriptions and explanations necessary for the understanding of said drawings and schemes and the operation of the electrical equipment(d) a list of the standards applied in full or in part, and descriptions of the solutions adopted to satisfy the safety aspects of this standard(e) results of design calculations made, examinations carried out(f) test reports(g) application and details of routine tests applied if any.Note: The above safety criteria apply to all electrical equipment irrespective of the Electrical Equipment Safety System (EESS). For In-Scope electrical equipment additional requirements will apply that must be met prior to sale.Specific product safety standards to achieve compliance with AS/NZS 3820 can be purchased from SAI Global.Note: Applicants for a certificate may need to engage the services of a consultant (who meets the definition of a Suitably Qualified Person in the Equipment Safety Rules) to assist them in compiling appropriate documents required to make an application for certification. This may be necessary where the applicant for certification is not aware of the requirements or technical detail of information required to be supplied to obtain a certificate.
