CTICK certification
CTICK certification
C-Tick certification is an Australian EMC certification program, the laboratory provides C-Tick test reports, and then Australian importers use C-Tick test reports for registration. A/C-Tick is a certification mark issued by the Australia Communications Authority (ACA) for communication equipment.
The C-Tick mark must be marked with the information of the Australian supplier as required, 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. The number issued by the ACA to the Australian supplier.
4. Australian registered trademark used in the Australian market.
CTICK Certified Sequence Tag
Radio communication equipment or special electrical and electronic equipment must comply with the relevant label notice requirements or cannot be sold or supplied to Australia, The C-Tick is a sequence tag which applies to the items
covered by the label notice
below1. Radiocommunication (Sequential Label Incidental Transmission) Proclamation 2001 Brief Description Conforms to EMC Adjusted Arrangements
2. Radio Equipment (Sequential Label) Notice No. 1 1996 to show a brief description of the arrangement
of the subordination adjustment of radiocommunications3. The Radiocommunications (Sequential Labelling - Electromagnetic Radiation) Notice 2003 briefly states that subject to the EMR adjustment arrangement, which requires a sequential label on a product before it can be supplied to Australia. It is also a sequential label for non-radiocommunication products that must comply with electromagnetic emissions (EMR) regulations. For telecom products, the EMR is covered by A-Tick sequential tags, which must have supplier information that identifies the supplier. This information may take the form of a supplier code issued by the ACA, an Australia company number or other forms detailed in the relevant label notice, and more information on the use of the C-Tick mark can be found on the ACA website.
CTICK certified product classification
in Australia electromagnetic compatibility is monitored by the ACA (Australian Communications Authority), under the EMC system in Australia, products are divided into three categories, suppliers must register with ACA before selling Class II and III products to apply for the use of the C-TICK mark.
Class 11 products: products with low interference emissions to devices using the wireless spectrum, such as manual switches, simple relays, one-way squirrel cage inductor motors, resistors, etc. These products can be produced and sold on a voluntary basis by applying for the use of the C-tick logo.
Class II products: products with high interference radiation to devices using wireless spectrum, such as switching power supplies, welding machines, dimmers, most household appliances, etc.
Three types of products: products with extremely high interference to devices using the wireless spectrum, i.e., products with CISPR22 and CISPR<> coverage. As applicants for registration with the ACA to use the C-TICK mark are limited to companies registered in Australia or New Zealand, applications can be made through buyers in Australia or New Zealand or by a branch/partner certification body in Australia or New Zealand.
CTICK certification process
(1) The manufacturer or agent submits an oral or written preliminary application to the certification company.
(2) The applicant fills in the application form, the application form, the product instruction manual and technical documents are sent to the certification company
(3) the certification company formulates the plan and quotation
(4) the applicant confirms the quotation, signs the quotation back, and sends the samples and related technical documents to the certification company
(5) the applicant provides technical documents
(6) the certification company issues a notice of charge to the applicant, and the applicant requires the applicant to prepay the certification fee
according to the notice of charge (7) the certification company reviews the technical documents and organizes relevant certification activities
(8) If the technical documents are not perfect or do not use the prescribed language, the certification company will notify the applicant to improve
(9) If the test is unqualified, the certification company will notify the applicant in time and decide whether to suspend the project according to the situation, and allow the applicant to improve the product, and the applicant should change the technical data in the original application in order to reflect the actual situation
after the change(10) The certification company provides the test report or technical documents
to the applicant (11) The Australian importer Beishu & submits the report to apply for a registration number from the Australian ACA (Australian Communications Authority).
