>From what I have been able to read on the NZ Ministry of Commerce website the EMC-Framework is to be adopted by New Zealand to form a "Trans-Tasman" EMC network in January 1999. There are some minor differences, but the scheme will allow manufacturers to register to use the C-Tick mark in either New Zealand or Australia. Once registered they can apply C-tick mark (subject to the declaration of conformity etc etc per the current Australian regime) and market products in both countries. Currently New Zealand has a slightly different approach, involving certification fees. I sugest you look at the Ministry's website which has lots of documents to download. I can look up the URL if you have difficulties finding it. Mark [email protected] --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
