- C-Tick certification is an Australian EMC certification project
- The laboratory provides the C-Tick test report, and then the Australian importer uses the C-Tick test report to register.
- A / C-Tick is an authentication mark issued by the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) for communication equipment. Manufacturers and importers must use A / C-Tick as follows:
- 1.The product performs ACAQ technical standard test
- 2. Register with ACA to use A / C-Tick
- 3. Fill in the "Declaration of Conformity Form" and keep it with the product compliance record.
- C-tick certification cycle: 1-2 weeks
- The Australian EMC system divides products into three levels. Before selling level two and level three products, suppliers must register with the ACA and apply for the C-Tick logo.
- Level 1 products refer to products with low interference radiation to equipment using wireless spectrum, such as manual switches, simple relays, unidirectional squirrel-cage induction motors, and resistors. For Level 1 products, the supplier must sign a declaration of conformity and provide a product description. Level 1 products can apply for the C-Tick mark voluntarily, but after choosing to use the mark, the supplier must provide a declaration of conformity and a description of the product along with a record of compliance to prove that the product described in the declaration Meets relevant EMC standards. The test location is not required and internal testing is allowed.
- Level 2 products refer to products with high interference radiation to equipment using wireless spectrum, such as switching power supplies, welding machines, dimmers, and most household appliances. In addition to signing the declaration of conformity and providing a product description, the supplier must also provide a test report according to relevant standards. If there is no relevant standard, it is necessary to provide technical structure documents. The test site does not make requirements and allows internal testing.
- Level 3 products refer to products with high interference radiation to equipment using wireless spectrum, that is, products covered by CISPR11 and CISPR22. Communication terminal products are still included in this scope, but starting from November 7, 2003, terminal products will be classified into level two products. In addition to signing the declaration of conformity and providing a product description, the supplier must also provide a test report issued by an approved testing agency. At the same time, a quality management system certificate issued by a QSM certification body must be issued.
- According to the catalog of mandatory electromagnetic compatibility products released by the government in 2001, the main products involved are:
- Industrial, technological, medical (ISM) equipment, audiovisual equipment;
- Household appliances;
- Power tools and electric heating appliances;
- lighting and similar equipment;
- Information technology equipment.
- The products that do not need to be applied for are:
- Devices manufactured outside Australia and not intended for import into Australia for sale;
- Devices imported from New Zealand to sell in Australia and have complied with relevant New Zealand regulations;
- Products that are not in the application scope.
