The Australian Spectrum Management Agency (SMA)is only asking for tests on the radiated side with a standard which is a replica of CISPR22. There is two main differences if you compare with the European requirements : (1) the laboratory used for the test must be accredited by their national laboratory assessor (NATA) or with some accredited body who have a Mutual Recognition Agreement with NATA (NIST/NVLAP or A2LA for USA, NAMAS for UK) and (2) the C-Tick mark is a trade mark protected by the SMA so you must ask for the permission to use it either by : - asking on a product by product base with an Australian registered Trademark/Tradename. Or - Have a local representative or distributor to hold it for you. He then have a Supplier code. Or - If you are an Australian Company, you can get a Australian Company Number (ACN). Or - By sending the registered name and address of the place of business of the Australian supplier. I strongly encourage you to see for yourself at the SMA Web page located at : <http://public.sma.gov.au/spectrum> Hope this help. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benoit Nadeau, ing.
