AUSTEL does not accept CB reports as such however they will accept reports from NAMAS approved labs in the UK and any other lab which has been accredited by an organization with a MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) with NATA (Australian NAMAS equivalent).
As I mentioned in a previous message, there are presently 2 CB accredited labs in Australia. They can produce their own report from a report from another CB lab.

I have seen this work very well for Information Technology Equipment (ITE). I have had some bad experience with the Telephone Terminal Equipment (TTE). The bad experience was 2 - 3 years ago when we tried to use it with TTE in Australia, at that time Austel did not recognize the CB Scheme. The Standards Australia did accept the CB Scheme for ITE. I know there have been several changes in Australia and I have not been getting approvals in Australia for the last 2 years. Has there been a change? Does Austel accept the CB Scheme? The UK was the same way. BABT did not accept the CB Scheme but British Electrotechnical Approval Board does, I presume for ITE. Now it has moved to a self declare in the EU so the CB Scheme would work for ITE and TTE. As long as the report is done the EN60950. TIPS Whoever does the CB Scheme for you, UL, CSA, DEMKO, etc.... can provide a list of the countries AND the regulatory bodies in the country that accept the CB Scheme. Make sure the CB Scheme is done to the standards of ALL the countries you intend to go, for ITE this is easier then TTE. Make sure ALL the national deviations are included in the test report. Anybody else want to add to this list? ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> Joe Dwyer Sr. Engineer International Approvals Inter-Tel.

I must apologize firstly that I have taken this long to respond. I have been overseas for a week. Brian is correct. It is possible to use an IEC CB report, gained from an IEC CB accredited test house. Such reports can only be accepted however by the IEC CB recognised labs in Australia. They can not be authorized/accepted by all labs in Australia. There are presently two labs in Australia and one in New Zealand. such labs, when presented with a report from another (overseas) CB accredited lab would examine the report to ensure all Australian requirements (deviations or variations to the relevant internationl standard) were in fact tested and then produce a report under their letterhead stating compliance.
