RE: AC Adapters in Australia
Horst, If the device is power supply as described by Richard in his earlier email then you will need to comply with both EMC requirements in Australia (C-Tick) and electrical safety requirements (electrical authority approval). EMC Compliance C-tick compliance is the responsibility of the importer/local Australian manufacturer. If you do not have a local distributor or local office of your company in Australia you will need to engage the services of an "Agent" who agrees to take responsibility for Australian EMC compliance. Electrical Safety Compliance/Approval (for "Declared Articles") If you have acceptable (i.e. acceptable to the approval authority here) test reports to the correct standards you can complete an application form and send it, with all the required supporting information, along with a sample of the device, to: You will need to send an application, Safety and Standards Branch Level 4, Fitzwillian Street PO Box 972 Parramatta, NSW, 2124 Tel:+61-2-9895-0702 Fax:+61-2-9895-0423 Email: saf...@fairtrading.nsw.gov.au WWW:http://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au Best regards, Kevin Richardson Stanimore Pty Limited Compliance Advice & Solutions for Technology Products and Services (Legislation/Regulations/Standards) Ph: 02-4329-4070 (Int'l: +61-2-4329-4070) Fax: 02-4328-5639 (Int'l: +61-2-4328-5639) Mobile: 04-1224-1620 (Int'l: +61-4-1224-1620) Email:k...@compuserve.com kevin.richard...@ieee.org k...@technologist.com (alternate internet) -Original Message- From: innova...@t-online.de [mailto:innova...@t-online.de] Sent: Monday, 12 February 2001 5:11 PM To: Kevin Richardson; wo...@sensormatic.com; emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org Subject: AW: AC Adapters in Australia Richard, one of my clients require approval for Australia.

Re: AC Adapters in Australia
Richard, Yes, most likely the adapter will require a safety approval. EMC is also required unless the unit ONLY comes with its powered product, and is not to be commercially available independently.
