C-Tick certification

A/C-Tick is a certification mark issued by the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) for communication equipment. C-TICK is an Australian certification for electromagnetic compatibility of electronic products, which is a mandatory certification for import and export customs. All electronic products entering Australia must possess this certificate. Communication products can apply for A-TICK certification, while electronic products can apply for C-TICK certification.

Manufacturers and importers must follow the following steps to use A-Tick:

1. Product execution ACAQ technical standard testing

2. Register with ACA to use A/C-Tick

3. Fill out the "Declaration of Conformity Form" and keep it together with the product conformity record

4. Labeling communication products or devices with the A/C-Tick logo

5. Selling A-Tick to consumers is only applicable to communication products, and electronic products are mostly subject to C-Tick application. However, if electronic products apply for A-Tick, they do not need to apply for C-Tick separately.

Since November 2001, EMI applications from Australia and New Zealand have been merged; If the product is to be sold in these two countries, the following documents must be completed before marketing, in preparation for random inspections by the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) or the Ministry of Economic Development (New Zealand) authorities at any time:

1. Test report - It must be issued by a laboratory accredited by NATA or a certification body mutually agreed upon with NATA, such as NVLAP or A2LA, in order to be valid, otherwise the probability of sample submission for testing is very high.

2. "Application to use the C-tick Mark" Form - must be signed by an Australian/New Zealand company or importer.

3. "Supplier's Declaration of Conformity" Form - must be signed by an Australian New Zealand company or importer. The manufacturer responsible for signing is responsible for ensuring that the products sold still comply with EMI regulations.

4. Original design drawings and specifications (such as circuit diagrams, block diagrams, User's Manual, Service Manual, etc.).

5. Describe the production inspection procedures during production to ensure the maintenance of EMI characteristics.

6. Any change description and necessary testing records that may affect EMI.

Certification cycle: 1-2 weeks
