Do you have to comply with Australian standards?
Standards are not laws, so generally speaking, there is no mandatory requirement to comply with standards. However, if certain local laws require compliance with certain specific standards, compliance with that specific standard is mandatory.
Does Australia accept overseas window and door approval or certification?
Australia has independent requirements for approval and certification. The United States and EU CE documents are not recognized by Australian law at all and therefore cannot be used as a basis for compliance. In the same way, Chinese standards are not recognized by Australian laws, so we at Superhouse specially made Australian certifications for the Australian market.
