The Aussie C-tick mark is described in a number of documents published
by the Spectrum Management Agency (SMA, Aussie govt agency), notably:
Radiocommunications Compliance and Labelling
Information to Manufacturers and Importers of Radiocommunications
Equipment for the Australian Market
and
EMC FRAMEWORK: Information for Retailers
You can request a copy of these docs from the SMA by writing to:
Radiocommunications Standards Team
Business Directions Group
Spectrum Management Agency
P.O. Box 78, Belconnen ACT 2616
Australia
or by phone at: (06) 256 5451 (check the country code)
fax at: (06) 253 2424
Although there is no explicit mention that confirms the applicability of
the C-tick mark for New Zealand (in the docs I have):
- the C-tick mark must be used on products marketed within the Australian
market to indicate someone has taken responsibility for the EM
characteristics.
- referenced EMC standards (e.g. AS/NZS 3548) are joint Australian/New
Zealand standards
- In describing the use of the C-tick mark, products manufactured
outside Austrlia or New Zealand and marketed there are considered to be
imported.
For clarification, I suggest you contact the SMA directly. Better still,
check out their website at:
