That is correct. They do require an in-country representative/agent to hold the compliance folder and DoC. That can be the importer, reseller or a consult, if your company does not a presence in Australia. There should be a legal contract with the agent as they would they first point of contact on any compliance issues. Jim

I was told by ACMA that we as an US company cannot register directly as we did not have a distributor in Australia. So I hired a consultant in AU as our in-country rep and used his registration number on our label and pay him a annual fee. This guy keeps our folder as answers any questions to ACMA. It is not so simple process as it sounds unless you do the DoC correctly and go though the process yourself. There is no direct fees but some cost US$k involved for sure.

You must register with ACMA (at no cost) and have an in-country representative that holds your compliance folder. You will be given a registration number that you must put on the label with the C-Tick symbol. This link give you all of the information you need. http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD..PC/pc=PC_2796 Regards, Jim Robson ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of McInturff, Gary Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2011 9:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: C-tick fee's Can someone give me a rough idea of the application costs for a C-Tick mark. I have standards appropriate EMC and CB safety data so assuming its as benign as I hope – what can I expect in costs, just a first order of merit figure for my budgetary purposes. If you have a rough number off the top of your head I would appreciate it. I can head the Aus site but figured one you might have it at your finger tips, and how was the overall experience – fairly straightforward if you have all the data or was it a bureaucratic nightmare – the average case please I know there can be nightmare stories.
