Hi David, Use of the C-Tick is controlled be the Australian Communications Authority and information can be found at http://www.aca.gov.au/standards/index.htm.
The application form is at http://www.aca.gov.au/publications/forms/rf10.pdf and the declaration is at http://www.aca.gov.au/publications/forms/rf8.pdf. Safety depends on whether the device is a declared article. Most declared articles are domestic products. Most IT equipment would fall under the voluntary approval scheme. More information on this can be found at http://www.tcaust.com/framwork.htm. Safety varies from state to state but is regulated by the Dept of Fair Trading in New South Wales. Compliance in one state assures compliance Australia wide. As others have said, good luck. Regards, Cameron O'Phee. EMC & Safety Precompliance. Aristocrat Technologies Australia.

Say my company was to sell an IT product to a North American or European client who then would place the product in Australia. We meet all of the EMC & Safety requirements for Australia and have documentation, but here is the difficulty: Does my company need an agent/representative in Australia, or would our client suffice for these purposes? Also, do I need to register or otherwise apply with Australia before applying the C-Tick mark? (I assume yes but have been unable to find contact information) Best Regards, Dave Heald ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
