When electronic and electrical products enter Australia, in addition to the safety signs, they should also have the EMC logo, that is, the c-tick logo. The purpose is to protect the resources of radio communication frequency band. The implementation system stipulated in it is somewhat similar to the European EMC directive. Therefore, the manufacturer / importer can make self declaration. However, before applying for the c-tick logo, it must be tested according to the relevant CISPR standards. And to be endorsed & submitted by Australian importers. ACA (Australian Commission authority) uniformly accepts and issues registration numbers.
C-tick certification product classification:
In Australia, EMC is monitored by ACA (Australian Communications Authority). Under the Australian EMC system, products are divided into three categories. Suppliers must register with ACA and apply for the use of c-tick mark before selling class II and class III products.
Class I products: products with low interference radiation to equipment using wireless spectrum, such as manual switch, simple relay, unidirectional squirrel cage inductive motor, resistance, etc. This kind of products can voluntarily apply for the use of c-tick mark in production and sales.
Class II products: products with high interference radiation to equipment using wireless spectrum, such as switching power supply, welding machine, dimmer, most household appliances, etc.
Three types of products: products with high interference to devices using wireless spectrum, namely products covered by cispr11 and cispr22. As applicants applying for the use of the c-tick logo in ACA registration are limited to companies registered in Australia or New Zealand, they can apply through buyers in Australia or New Zealand or certification bodies of branches / partners in Australia or New Zealand.
Scope of c-tick certification:
1. Industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) equipment, audio-visual equipment;
2. Household electrical equipment;
3. Electric tools and electric heating appliances;
4. Lighting and similar equipment;
5. IT equipment.
6. The products that do not need to apply are:
7. A device manufactured outside Australia and not for import into Australia for sale;
8. Devices imported from New Zealand for sale in Australia and in compliance with New Zealand's relevant regulations;
9. Products not in the scope of application.
