What is C-tick certification?
C-tick certification is an Australian EMC certification project. The laboratory provides a C-tick test report, and then the Australian importer uses the C-tick test report for registration. A/C-Tick is a certification mark issued by the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) for communication equipment.
C-tick certification categories are generally divided into three categories:
Category 1 products: products with low interference radiation to devices using the wireless spectrum, such as manual switches, simple relays, unidirectional squirrel cage inductors, resistors, etc. Such products can voluntarily apply to use the C-Tick mark when they are produced and sold.
Category II products: products that have high interference radiation to devices using the wireless spectrum, such as switching power supplies, welding machines, dimmers, and most household appliances.
Category III products: products that cause extremely high interference to devices using the wireless spectrum, i.e. products covered by CISPR11 and CISPR22. Since applicants for registration with ACA to use the C-TICK mark are limited to companies registered in Australia or New Zealand, they can apply through buyers in Australia or New Zealand or through a branch/partner certification body in Australia or New Zealand.
