Bharat Shah of Logitech asked about requirements for an RF wireless mouse in
many countries.
I thought the following concerning Australia may be of interest to the group.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
In Australia there are radiocommunications regulations and EMC regulations which
would need to be complied with.
I believe the device would probably need to granted a "Class Licence" by the
Spectrum Management Authority (SMA) in Australia. To operate low power
transmitteres in Australia within the 27MHz band it would need to be between
26.957 and 27.283MHz with a maximum of 1W (EIRP). The operating frequency must
have an offset of 5KHz from any CB radio allocated band. It would also need to
maintain an emission bandwidth of no more than 10KHz.
As the device probably requires a "Class Licence" it would need to incorporate
the "C tick" mark (label) on the product indicating it complied with the
radiocommunications regulations.
The applicable radiocommunications standard would be AS 4268.2 (essentially
equivalent to ETSI 300220 {I think that is the right number}). This standard
addresses low power transmitting devices and includes some EMC requirements.
This standard is not presently mandatory however, it will be mandatory within
two to three months.
