Guys,

Kazimier replied to me saying that he had trouble finding the handbook.
(see his attached email)

Apparantly, I sent Kazimier (and possibly others) on a wild goose chase.  My
humble apologies (bow).  The document that I downloaded was called "The
Australian Spectrum Management Agency Handbook for Suppliers." or simply the
"Handbook for Suppliers"

Once upon a time, the Australian Spectrum Management Agency (SMA) managed
the Australian Framework for EMC.  Their website contained the link to the
document.  Since the time that I downloaded that document, the Australian
Communications Authority (ACA) has taken over administration of the
Australian Framework for EMC.  

So, I too have gone back to re-visit the links that I once used only to find
that they all point to the ACA.  I can no longer find the link that I used
to download this very handy document.  Too bad.  I considered it a shining
example of why I admired the Australian implementation of compliance.  At
one time, all you had to do was download the handbook, follow it and start
shipping product.  I'm disappointed.  I would hope that the ACA still
produces the handbook, perhaps under another name.  I have not found it yet.

I'll wait until my Document Control office opens tomorrow morning and look
at my hardcopy of the handbook, I believe that it will point me to a
European equivalent to AS/NZS 4251.1.  

Talk to you tomorrow...
