Outline for C-Tick
To handle obstacles in Electromagnetic waves(EMI) ACA¹ has introduced EMC to regulate EMI emitted from all electric and electronic product on Radiocommunications, 1992. Currently, EMI is enforced, but standard in EMS is recommend to follow. For standard in EMI, there is AS/NZSxxxx which is co-written between New Zealand and MRA. This standard adopts CISPER standard which is global standard.
Item
Electric device for household, Protable toola and similar equipment, Fluorescent device and light, information device, radio, TV receiver, ISM device
Certification achievement procedure
- 1.Write application on use of C-Tick : Supplier² should write.
- 2.Submit application form at ACA. (No registration fee, can be registered through post and fax)
* If SCN (Supplier Code Number) is used as label for supplier distinguishable label, you can request to get it issued. - 3. After writing supplier's declaration conformity, attach C-Tick label to product.
- 4. Applicants must make Compliance record(Different depending on compliance level³) to store.
- 1) ACA : In 1997, July, 1st AUSTEL and SMR(Spectrum Management Authority) merged and they are dealing with the Wireless Law. (1992)and Streamline method (1997).
- 2) Supplier : Manufacturer and importer in Australia or its authorized representative.
- 3) ACA has divdided suitability of EMC level into 3 kinds.
- A. 1stage : Device that could cause low interference on Radio frequency spectrum equipment.
- B. 2stage :Device that could cause high interference on Radio frequency spectrum equipment.
- C. 3stage : :Device that could cause very high interference on equipmen that uses Radio frequency spectrum and communcation network. (For example, ISM equipment or data terminal equipment( If it is included in scope of info communication standard)
* Composition : Test report from Supplier DoC, NATA certification testing facility MRA partner testing facility (In Korea, KOLAS logo must be attached) or TCF, Product Description (Name of brand and model, etc.), Product picture, Block Diagram, Circuit Diagram
Matters about labeling
- 1. Size : Mark should be visible and readable, diametere should be at least 3mm and height of identification character of supplier should be at least minimum 1mm.
- 2. Color : If visible by eyes, there is no limitation on color.
- 3. How : Attach firmly. (For instance, printing, painting, molding, etching, sculpture, etc.)
- 4. Where : Mark and supplier identification label should be attahced on the surface of product easy to see.
If it is hard to label on the product, you can mark it on label, package, warning statements, or on manual.
* Supplier distinguishable label : ACN(Australian company number), Australian registered trademark, SCN(Supplier code number)

Electromagnetic Compatibility Arrangements
The transitional arrangement is the time period where the ACA/RSM recognizes conformity to either the 'earlier' or 'later' version of the same standard for products supplied to the market. Upon expiry of the transitional period, the ACA/RSM only recognizes the 'later' version of a standard for compliance purposes with the EMC scheme.
