Dan,
Very briefly, in terms of technical requirements - NONE. Australia and New
Zealand both require most ITT products comply with
AS/NZS 3548 (joint Aust/NZ standard) or CISPR 22 or EN 55022.
In terms of compliance actions and records required there is some
difference.
Australia requires similar actions and records as that of Europe ie
establish product Compliance Folder [CF] and include:
a) signed Australian Declaration of Conformity (DoC) [must be signed by
person in Australia and kept in CF at all times]; and
b) product description plus photos etc (or pointers to them - ie may be
held overseas);
c) EMC test report to one of the 3 standards mentioned above (or pointers
to it - ie may be held overseas).
Once the above has been completed, label the product with the C-Tick mark
and supplier ID.Before placing mark on any product the organisation
must be registered with the ACA in Australia to use mark.
ACA is Australian regulator - http://www.aca.gov.au
NZ, requires you to submit a signed EMC DoC to the NZ Ministry of Commerce
(MoC) . The major differences to the
Australian process is:
a) the DoC can be signed by an overseas person;
b) there is a submission fee associated with every DoC submitted. (approx
NZ$170 is typical for non NZ based organizations);
c) no product Compliance Folder is required to be established and no test
report is required to be held;
Labelling product for compliance is not mandatory in NZ but
enthusiastically encouraged by the NZ MoC (C-Tick is accepted - must be
registered with MoC in NZ to use before placing mark on any product).
NZ MoC is NZ regulator - http://www.moc.govt.nz
NOTE: An MRA (Mutual Recognition Agreement) between Australia and NZ on 1
Jun 2000 and from that time there will be common process and records
requirements as well as common technical requirements. In addition, once
all the necessary
actions are performed in either country to comply no further actions will
be required for compliance in the other country.
If you need more detail please contact me directly. Please see my contact
details at the very bottom of the email.
Best regards,
Kevin
Greetings,
Does anyone know what the differences there are between the New Zealand
and
Australian EMC regulations? I know they are trying to harmonize but if
someone could either tell me or point me to a web page it would certainly
be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
