Certification Introduction:
In Australia, the EMC requirements for electrical products are monitored by ACA (Australin Communications Authority). In addition to the Australian and New Zealand standards (AS/NZS), ACA recognized 103 other standards in 2002, including EN, IEC and CISPR.
In order to limit the impact of electromagnetic interference, Australia has implemented mandatory electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements for all products within the scope of the standard since January 1999. Some EMC experimental projects must also meet mandatory requirements, which are: conducted interference, intermittent interference (clicking sound), and radiated interference. The remaining EMC items are not mandatory. Only when the product is inspected and meets relevant standards can it be labeled with the C-Tick mark. Any company or individual who wants to use this logo must apply to the competent government department and obtain written approval before use. The height of the logo must not be less than 3 mm.
The Australian supplier's information must be marked next to the C-Tick mark as required, so that when ACA samples products on the market, it can be effectively traced back to the supplier responsible for the EMC of the product. The identification of information includes four aspects:
1. The registered name and address of the Australian supplier.
2. Australian Company Number (Australian Company Number)
3. Number issued to Australian suppliers by ACA.
4. The Australian registered trademark used by the product in the Australian market.
Australia's EMC system divides products into three levels. Before selling level 2 and level 3 products, suppliers must register with ACA and apply for the use of the C-Tick mark.
Level 1 product
Level 1 products refer to products with low interference radiation to devices using wireless spectrum, such as manual switches, simple relays, one-way squirrel-cage inductor motors, resistors, etc. For Level 1 products, suppliers must sign a declaration of conformity and provide a product description. Level 1 products can voluntarily apply for the C-Tick mark, but after suppliers choose to use the mark, they must provide compliance statements and product descriptions as well as compliance records to prove that the products described in the statements have Complies with relevant EMC standards. There is no requirement for testing location, internal testing is allowed.
Level 2 products
Level 2 products refer to products with high interference and radiation to equipment using wireless spectrum, such as switching power supplies, welding machines, dimmers, and most household appliances. In addition to signing a declaration of conformity and providing a product description, suppliers must also provide test reports conducted in accordance with relevant standards. If there are no relevant standards, they need to provide technical structural documents. The test location is not required and internal testing is allowed.
Level 3 products
Level 3 products refer to products with extremely high interference and radiation to devices using wireless spectrum, that is, products covered by CISPR11 and CISPR22. Currently, communication terminal products are still included in this scope, but starting from November 7, 2003, terminal products will be classified into Level 2 products. In addition to signing a declaration of conformity and providing a product description, the supplier must also provide a test report issued by an accredited testing agency. At the same time, a quality management system certificate issued by the QSM certification body must be issued.
