Hi Kevin,
You provided some good information, but the A-tick mark also signifies safety compliance according to the TLN. Also, do you know when the TLN is supposed to consolidate all of its amendments as the ACMA website states will happen soon? Just being curious here. I look forward to your reply. Best regards, Ron ________________________________ From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org] On Behalf Of Kevin Richardson Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 7:16 PM To: Nic Johnson; emc-p...@ieee.org Subject: RE: C-Tick vs. A-Tick Nic, It is not possibly to simply describe all equipment that requires the A-Tick instead of the C-Tick. As has been mentioned in a couple of the replies, primarily the C-Tick is required to indicate compliance with EMC, EMR and radiocommunications compliance, if such compliance is applicable. The A-Tick is used to indicate compliance with Australian telecommunications regulations, again if indeed the equipment is captured by those regulations. The Telecommunications Labelling Notice (TLN) specifies which categories of equipment are captured under the regulations and therefore those types of equipment that are required to be labelled with the A-Tick. This can be rather tricky however. some equipment may not in themselves be telecom type equipment but if for example they include an "extension port" for example that could be used for the connection of an external telephone of fax machine etc then the equipment is indeed captured. You really need to look at the TLN. All telecommunications equipment would also be captured by at least the EMC regulations and possible EMR and radiocommunications as well. There is no need to place both the A-Tick and C-Tick marks on any equipment however. The A-Tick mark, in addition to indicating compliance with telecom regulations, also signifies compliance with EMC. EMR and radiocommunications if applicable. Hope this helps.

Does an A-Tick apply to wireless digital devices or just equipment connected to a telecommunications network? Would this apply to any equipment with a modem or network port? Thanks.
