I am looking into consumer-grade "surge protectors" for use on the AC mains, such as modules that plug directly into an ordinary AC mains outlet, or so-called "power strips" or "power boards" that contain some form of surge protection.
In the USA, the applicable safety standard for such devices is UL 1449. I have not been able to identify the applicable safety standard for such devices in Australia. Does anyone know what the applicable safety standard is for Australia? My efforts to use a web search have led only to frustration, with a lot of links to standards that are not relevant. What I'm trying to determine is what safety standards (if any) a manufacturer of such devices must have their product comply with. And, what is the traceability path from the product label to the standard that the product complies with.
