Hi group, For electronic product to sell in Australia/New Zealand, a local company need to registered with ACA and decalre C-Tick Declaration of Conformity for the product and affixed the C-Tick mark. They will be considered the responsible party for the product. They would need to compile the product technical folder, which the test report is an essential proof of compliance.
My question is if this company is no longer in business (whatever the reason might be) 1) Who will now be the responsible party for these product on the display shelf? 2) Isn't this a loophole if someone still can bring in the same product with this company C-Tick label. Will the person who signs the DofC be penalise if product is found not compliance? 3) How can ACA control the import of these product if checking of C-Tick is done at retail outlet and not at custom? Now another situation, if my company decided to change another distributor (new supplier code) A) The responsible party for product on display shelf should be the previous distributor, right? B) Is there any legal issue if the new distributor is selling the same product but with previous distributor supplier code? (might due to available warehouse stock or due to slow boat shipment or factory phasing of new C-Tick is not completed) C) Is it alright to paste the new C-Tick label with new supplier code (label type) over the existing C-Tick logo (permanently affixed on product)? Would like to hear your view/advice. Thanks in advance. Regards Koh --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
