C-Tick认证

A/C-Tick is a certification mark issued by the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) for communication equipment.

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

1. The product performs ACAQ technical standard test

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

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

4. A label with the A/C-Tick logo on the communication product or equipment

5. A-Tick sold to consumers is only applicable to communication products. Most electronic products are to apply for C-Tick. However, if electronic products apply for A-Tick, there is no need to apply for C-Tick.

Since November 2001, EMI from Australia/New Zealand has applied for merger; if the product is to be sold in these two countries, the following documents must be prepared before marketing, in preparation for ACA (Australian Communications Authority) or New Zealand (Ministry of Economic Development) ) The authorities will conduct random inspections at any time:

Test report - it must be issued by NATA or a certification body mutually agreed with NATA, such as NVLAP or A2LA-accredited laboratory to be valid, otherwise the probability of sending samples for testing is very high.

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

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

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

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

6. Any change description and necessary test records that will affect EMI.

The information of the Australian supplier must be marked next to the C-Tick mark according to regulations, so that ACA can effectively trace back to the supplier responsible for the EMC of the product when sampling the product in the market. The identification of information includes four aspects:

1. The registered name and address of the Australian supplier.

2. Australian Company Number

3. A number issued by the ACA to Australian suppliers.

4. Australian registered trademarks for products used in the Australian market.

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

1. Radiocommunication (Sequential Label Incidental Transmission) Notice 2001 Brief Description Compliant with EMC Adjusted Arrangements

2. Radio Equipment (Order Label) Notice No. 1 1996 to display a brief description of the arrangements for compliance with radio communications

3. Radio Communication (Order Label - Electromagnetic Radiation) Notice 2003 Brief Description Subject to the EMR Adjustment Arrangement EMC Adjustment Arrangement is that an order label must be affixed to a product before it is supplied to Australia. It is also a sequence label for non-radiocommunication products that must comply with Electromagnetic Emissions (EMR) regulations. For telecom products, the EMR is covered by the A-Tick sequence label. The sequence label on the C-Tick must have supplier information that can identify the supplier. This information may take the form of a supplier code issued by the ACA, an Australian company number or other forms detailed in the relevant label notice. More information on the use of the C-Tick mark can be found on the ACA website

Australia's EMC system divides products into three levels. Before selling level two and level three products, suppliers must register with ACA and apply for the use of the C-Tick mark.

Level 1 products refer to products with low interference radiation to equipment using the wireless spectrum, such as manual switches, simple relays, one-way squirrel-cage induction motors, resistors, etc. For level 1 products, suppliers must sign a declaration of conformity and Provide product description book. Level 1 products can voluntarily apply for the C-Tick mark, but after the supplier chooses to use the mark, he/she must provide the conformity declaration and the product description, and also provide the conformity record to prove that the product described in the declaration has been Complies with the relevant EMC standards. Testing location is not required, internal testing is allowed.

Level 2 products refer to products with high interference radiation to equipment using the wireless spectrum, such as switching power supplies, electric welding machines, dimmers, and most household appliances. In addition to signing the declaration of conformity and providing product descriptions, suppliers must also provide test reports according to relevant standards. If there are no relevant standards, they need to provide technical structure documents. The test site is not required, and internal testing is allowed.

  Level 3 products refer to products with extremely high interference radiation to equipment using the wireless spectrum, that is, 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 two products. In addition to signing the declaration of conformity and providing the product description, the supplier must also provide a test report issued by an accredited testing agency. At the same time, a quality management system certificate issued by the QSM certification body should be issued.
