Before a product covered by the EMC regulatory arrangements can be sold in Australia it must be labeled. The label is comprised of a C-Tick mark and a unique supplier identification. The C-Tick mark is intended for use on products that comply with EMC standards. The label indicates that the product complies with the applicable standard and establishes a traceable link between a product and the supplier responsible for placing it on the Australian or New Zealand market. The use of the C-Tick cannot be transferred to another party without the prior approval of ACMA or RSM. The C-Tick mark is a certification trademark registered to ACMA in Australia under the Trade Marks Act 1995 and to RSM in New Zealand under section 47 of the NZ Trade Marks Act. The mark is only to be used in accordance with conditions laid down by ACMA and RSM.
A company or person wishing to use the C-Tick mark must make a written application. The application form is available online. Bromides and an electronic version of the C-Tick mark are available, for a nominal fee, from Standards Australia sales offices or RSM. Compliance marks can also be downloaded from either the ACMA website or the RSM website.
Authority to use the C-Tick mark will only be issued to an Australian or New Zealand based supplier.
