Hi Ted,
Thanks for your useful pointer! The website contains rich info.

Our customer also added NSW has most stringent requirements than others, such as Queensland. How can the supplier manage their goods in compliance with different requirements within one country? Can they ship the goods to Queensland first and then transport to NSW for selling - just kidding!🙂 Do they have a central location to provide the legal requirements for the country rather than states?

Here is an example for AS/NZS 60950-1. https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2013C00943 Section 6 gives some of the transitional information noting that basic requirement is based on when a product is manufactured or imported. This would indicate that products already on the shelf at the time of the new requirement would not be affected. The effective dates and transitional requirements can vary significantly even between regulatory agencies within one country. The language of the applicable statute should be used to determine what products are affected. General guidance may not always be accurate for every case even within one country.

The retailers must sell out all the stock before the effective date or return to the suppliers for alternation in compliance with the latest standard. Is there any legal document to endorse this rule?
