Alex, Australian product compliance regulations require the local manufacturer or the importer or the local manufacturer's or importer's "appointed Agent" assume responsibility for product compliance. The choices therefore are for your company to deal with each and every Australian importer of your product (do the compliance work with each and every one of them individually and also individually label product for each importer) or to engage the services of an Australian company offering "Agent" services and encourage each and every importer to sign an "Agent" agreement with that company. These companies offering Agent services are indeed private businesses. The advantages of the 2nd option are that the overseas supplier can:
* remove the burden of product compliance from their Australian importers; * ensure they only need to "do the compliance work" with one company, the Agent; and * avoid the need to individually label product for each importer (ALL product can be labelled with the C-Tick and the Agent's C-tick registration number (Supplier Code Number). If you require more information please visit the Stanimore web site at www.stanimore.com/agent.htm or email me off line at one of my email addresses below Alex.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Alex Horvath Sent: Saturday, 11 August 2007 7:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: C-Tick registration I'm not a compliance engineer so excuse the poor terminology... I have a FCC/EU EMC report for a product that will be sold in Australia. We don't have an office in Australia that is registered with their regulatory agency. As I understand it, we need to pay a fee to an approved office to "hold" our report. Is there one entity that provides this service or are they private businesses that provide this service? Anyone know of any website(s) so we can get this started?
