Marking Requirements and Application for Australia New Zealand C-Tick mark
(adapted from the ACA referenced standards)
Should my product be labeled?
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 EMC 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 mark 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 C-Tick 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.
