A / c-tick was developed by the Australian Communications Agency   Communications   Authority,   ACA is an authentication mark issued for communication equipment.  

Manufacturers and importers must follow the following steps to use a-tick:  

1. Products are tested according to acaq technical standard  

2. Register with ACA for a / c-tick  

3. Fill in the declaration form   of   Conformity   Form) together with the product conformity record  

4. Label with a / c-tick logo on communication products or equipment  

5. Selling to consumers   A-tick is only applicable to communication products, while electronic products are mostly applied for c-tick  , However, if electronic products apply for a-tick, there is no need to apply for c-tick separately  。 

Since November 2001, the Australian / New Zealand EMI has applied for merger; If the product is to be sold in these two countries, the following documents must be completed before marketing for ACA   (Australian   Communications   Authority) or New Zealand   (Ministry   of   Economic   Development)   At any time:  

one Test report  －  Must be by   NATA   Or with   NATA   Mutual certification authority, such as   NVLAP   or   A2LA   Only approved by the laboratory can be effective, otherwise the probability of sending samples for testing is very high.  

two 、 "Application   to   use   the   C-tick   Mark"   Form  －  Must be signed by Australian / New Zealand company or importer  。 

three 、 "Supplier’s   Declaration   of   Conformity"   Form  － Must be signed by Australian / New Zealand company or importer.   It is the responsibility of the signing manufacturer to ensure that the products still meet the EMI requirements.  

four Original design drawings and specifications (e.g. circuit diagram, block diagram, user's   Manual   and   Service   Manual   Etc.).  

five Describe the production inspection procedures during production to ensure that   EMI   The maintenance of characteristics.  

6 anything that affects   EMI   Change description and necessary test records.  

Certification period:   1-2 weeks  

The information of Australian suppliers must be marked beside the c-tick mark according to the regulations, so that ACA can effectively trace back to the supplier responsible for the EMC of the product in the market. The identification of information includes four aspects  

1. Registered name and address of Australian supplier.  

2. Australian company registration number (Australian   Company   Number）  

3. The number issued by ACA to Australian suppliers.  

4. Australian registered trademark used in the Australian market.  

C-tick sequence label   Radio communication equipment or special electrical and electronic equipment must comply with the relevant labelling requirements, otherwise they cannot be sold or supplied to Australia   The   C-tick is a sequential label that applies to the material items covered by the label notice below  

1. Radio communication (sequential label attached transmission) Notice 2001 briefly describes compliance with EMC adjusted arrangements  

2. Radio equipment (sequence label) Notice No   one   1996 to show a brief description of the radio communication subject to the adjustment of the arrangement  

3. Radio communication (sequential labelling - electromagnetic radiation) Notice 2003 briefly states that EMR adjustment arrangements are followed  

Under the EMC adjustment arrangement, the product must be labeled in sequence before it is supplied to Australia.   It is also a sequential label for non radio communication products that must comply with electromagnetic radiation (EMR) rules.   For telecommunication products, EMR is covered by a-tick sequential tags   The sequence label on the c-tick must have the supplier information that can identify the supplier.   This information may take the supplier code issued by ACA, the Australian company number or other forms detailed in the relevant label notice   More about using c-tick can be found on the ACA website   Mark's information  

The EMC system in Australia divides the products into three levels. Suppliers must register with ACA and apply for the c-tick logo before selling Level 2 and level 3 products.  

Level 1 products refer to products with low interference radiation to equipment using wireless spectrum, such as manual switch, simple relay, unidirectional squirrel cage induction motor, resistance, etc. For level 1 products, the supplier must sign the conformity statement and provide the product description. Level 1 products can voluntarily apply for the c-tick logo. However, after choosing to use the c-tick logo, the supplier shall provide a compliance statement and product description while providing a compliance record to prove that the products described in the declaration have met the relevant EMC standards. The test site is not required and internal test is allowed.  

Level 2 products refer to the products with high interference radiation to the equipment using wireless spectrum, such as switching power supply, welding machine, dimmer, most household appliances, etc. In addition to signing the conformity statement and providing the product description, the supplier shall also provide the test report according to the relevant standards. If there is no relevant standard, the technical structure document shall be provided. The test site is not required and internal test is allowed.  

Level 3 products refer to products with extremely high interference radiation to equipment using wireless spectrum, namely, products covered by cispr11 and cispr22. At present, communication terminal products are still included in this scope, but from November 7, 2003, terminal products will be classified into Level 2 products. In addition to signing the conformity statement and providing the product description, the supplier shall also provide the test report issued by the recognized testing agency. At the same time, the quality management system certificate issued by QSM certification body should be issued.
