Australia C-Tick Certification Standards

According to Australian regulations, EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) compliance is mandatory for nearly all electronic products supplied to the Australian market. The c-tick certification trademark registration must comply with the applicable requirements of an Australian registered company. The current requirements primarily cover:

- Conducted emissions at power terminals (AC RF emissions along power lines)

- Conducted emissions from telecommunication terminals (RF emissions along telephone lines)

- Radiated RF emissions (RF emissions transmitted through the air from the device)

A-Tick Overview

The A-Tick certification mark is specifically for telecommunications equipment. The following devices fall under A-Tick regulation:

• Telephones (including cordless phones and VoIP devices)

• Modems (including dial-up, ADSL, etc.)

• Telephone answering machines

• Mobile phones

• ISDN devices

• Telecom headsets and amplifiers

• Cable devices and cables

In short, any device that connects to a telecommunications network requires A-Tick certification.
