I found what I am quit certain is the handbook Chris was talking about.
Go to the www.sma.gov.au <http://www.sma.gov.au> site, once you are in do a
search for "handbook for suppliers". There will be over 200 results, go
down and click on ACA: Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). An index will
appear, click on Index to Relevant Documentation. Under the information
index click on HTML, this will put you in the Electromagnetic Compatibility
Framework. Appendix A contained the information cross referencing the
Australian standards to the European Standards.
Chris, if you would could you please look at this document and let us know
if this is indeed the handbook you were talking about.
Thank you,

Guys,
Kazimier replied to me saying that he had trouble finding
the handbook.
(see his attached email)
Apparantly, I sent Kazimier (and possibly others) on a wild
goose chase. My
humble apologies (bow). The document that I downloaded was
called "The
Australian Spectrum Management Agency Handbook for
Suppliers." or simply the
"Handbook for Suppliers"
Once upon a time, the Australian Spectrum Management Agency
(SMA) managed
the Australian Framework for EMC. Their website contained
the link to the
document. Since the time that I downloaded that document,
the Australian
Communications Authority (ACA) has taken over administration
of the
Australian Framework for EMC.
So, I too have gone back to re-visit the links that I once
used only to find
that they all point to the ACA. I can no longer find the
link that I used
to download this very handy document. Too bad. I
considered it a shining
example of why I admired the Australian implementation of
compliance. At
one time, all you had to do was download the handbook,
follow it and start
shipping product. I'm disappointed. I would hope that the
ACA still
produces the handbook, perhaps under another name. I have
not found it yet.
I'll wait until my Document Control office opens tomorrow
morning and look
at my hardcopy of the handbook, I believe that it will point
me to a
European equivalent to AS/NZS 4251.1.
Talk to you tomorrow...
