DOCUMENTATION AND OTHER VENDOR REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRIC ROTISSERIES ELECTRICAL SAFETY REPORT COVERING: AS/NZS 60335.1:2011 Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - General requirements AS/NZS 60335.2.9:2014 Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Particular requirements for grills, toasters and similar portable cooking appliances. EMC REPORT COVERING: AS CISPR 14.1:2018 Electromagnetic compatibility - Requirements for household appliances, electric tools and similar apparatus - Part 1: Emission (NZ ONLY) HARMONICS AND FLICKER REPORT COVERING: AS/NZS 61000.3.2:2007 + A1: 2013 (NZ Only) Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)-Limits - Limits for harmonic current emissions (equipment input current = 16 A per phase) OTHER MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS: CORD We require current Australian Approvals Certificates for: • The mains cord • The mains plug • The appliance connector (if a detachable cord is used). This is IN ADDITION to the Approval Certificate for the appliance itself, if applicable. • The components of the cord must be marked in accordance with the requirements of their approval certificates. • The length of cords supplied in production product must match the length of the evaluated sample. DOC-QUAL QUALITY OF COMPLIANCE DOCUMENTATION For most electrical appliances, ideally there should be no more than about 7 documents, including approval certificates. It is expected that suppliers will have all these documents in place prior to the tendering process. 1.NO EVALUATION CAN COMMENCE AND NO ORDERS CAN BE PLACED UNTIL SUITABLE QUALITY DOCUMENTATION HAS BEEN SIGHTED BY QA. 2. THE FACT THAT DOCUMENTATION MEETS OUR DOCUMENT QUALITY STANDARDS DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THE DOCUMENTS ARE ACCEPTABLE. THE PRODUCT STILL MUST BE SHOWN TO MATCH THE REPORTS. Documents may be rejected for any of the following reasons: • Test reports that are more than 3 years old • Test reports from labs with insufficient accreditation • Test reports that cover an unreasonable range of models, or completely unrelated models • Illegible Documents that are not original PDFs from lab or certifying body (Scans of paper documents are NOT acceptable) • Test reports that do not include clear identifying photos • Test reports that mention Photo annexes which are not supplied • Electrical safety reports with a later date than the Approval certificate • Electrical Safety reports that do not address Australian Regional Differences. • Documents with unexplained discrepancies between PDF date and issue date • Documents that are only Drafts, and/or unsigned and/or undated • Documents that are made up of more than 4 PDF sections (including Photo Annexe) • Documents that are missing pages • Mixtures of model-specific and irrelevant documents (so-called "shovelware"). That is, supplying a large stack of unsorted files and expecting QA to find for the relevant ones. KNOWN CONSTRUCTION ISSUES (FROM PAST EXPERIENCE): LENGTH 1. Ensure all supplied AC cords and other cables are the specified length (That is, watch for suppliers who shorten the cable to save money). 2. With Audio cables, the specified length must be the actual cord length, not including the connector plugs. For example a "1 Metre" cable must actually have 1 Metre of cable. 3. or declared articles, check that any change to cord length does not invalidate the Approval certificate. (Eg, buyers doing a "special" extra-cord-length version of an existing Power Board for a special promotion). KNOWN CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ISSUES (FROM PAST EXPERIENCE): SMELL Heating products must not produce visible smoke or fumes when switched on for the first time. A temporary "Hot Smell" is acceptable, but this must be entirely gone after 10 minutes, and not re-occur during a normal operating season. Liquid heating appliances must become odour-free within 1-2 days of normal use.
