Brian, Picky, yet correct.
Neither C-Tick, nor A-Tick, which were the basis for the original question have anything to do with product safety. You are correct that you probably want a product safety report for your ITE product prior to importing into Australia/NZ. We rely on the CB report.

IT equipment for Aus/NZ may also require a product safety report. The RCM can be used to indicate conformity to both safety and EMC requirements. If you are in North America, the four major NRTLs also provide 'agents' that can provide a local signature for the Supplier's Declaration of Conformity. Brian From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Knighten, Jim L Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 11:20 AM To: Dan Roman; [email protected] Subject: RE: Australia Requiremts for ITE Equipment Dan, You can read the rules on the ACMA web site http://www.acma.gov.au. C-tick is for EMC and radio communications compliance. A-Tick is for telecommunications, of which I have no experience. For c-tick, the manufacturer, importer or their agent responsible for compliance and for placing it on the Australian market is required to sign and hold the c-tick DoC. The signer needs an Australian address. Jim __________________________ James L.

We sell both C-tick and A-tick marked equipment and we have a presence in Australia that we use for the Australian business number and for the DoC. We are not the sole importer, in fact we are rarely the actual importer, many of our customers ship our product into Australia on their own. Is an agency agreement needed for either A-tick or C-tick if the product is already labeled and fully in compliance as we provide it? Dan From: Knighten, Jim L [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 12:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PSES] Australia Requiremts for ITE Equipment Christine, Selling ITE equipment in Australia/New Zealand requires a c-tick Supplier's (not manufacturer) Declaration of Conformity, which must be signed by a representative of the supplier in either Australia or New Zealand. The DoC must have the supplier's ACMA supplier code number on it, or an Australian business number. Jim __________________________ James L.

Is UL/ TUV product safety required? Our vendor has only provided us with a C-Tick EMC certificate and test report.
