1. Introduction
This document is a summary of existing ACMA published compliance and labelling information.
Please advise f.barbierato@dfbcert.com of any broken links you may find.
The policy and technical guidance information does not take into account specific circumstances
and is not a substitute for independent legal, technical or other advice.
You should always refer to the existing published documents, including the relevant Labelling
Notices, for the complete and unabridged compliance information pertaining to your device.
Type of Approval with Declaration of Conformity (DoC)
The RCM approval is a combined regulatory compliance mark, which covers both electrical safety
and Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements. For RCM approval, there must be an
Australian office to hold all the documents or “Compliance Folder”.
DFB Global Certification can help the customer obtains this approval, the only documents
required are EMC report and safety Certificate.

Additional Instructions and References

Why our customers need this mark?

Australian Communications Authority (ACA) has introduced the electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) scheme to protect Australia’s radio frequency spectrum introducing technical limits for
emissions from electrical/electronic products under the Radio communications Act 1992. From 1
January 1999, all electronic products that fall within the scope of the regulation are subject to
compliance and must be appropriately labeled with C‐Tick Mark. Australian C‐Tick Mark is also
accepted in New Zealand.

Technical country information
Rated voltage in Australia and New Zealand is 230V/50 Hz.
Documentation required to begin
EMC test report made by an NATA accredited laboratories or by an overseas laboratory that has a
Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) with NATA, or based on AS/NZS, EN or CISPR standards;
plus :

‐user manual
‐color photo both internal and external views


2. C‐Tick and A‐Tick: Compliance and Labelling

2.1 Key factors

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) have established a broad
regulatory compliance framework that includes four regimes, each administered by Labelling
Notice (LN):
• Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Compatibility) under the EMC‐LN, for
electromagnetic compatibility performance of electrical and electronic devices,
vehicles and devices with internal combustion engines;

• Radiocommunications (Devices) under the RLN, for radiocommunications transmitters;

• Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Energy) under the EME‐LN, for
electromagnetic energy health exposure from radio transmitters;

• Telecommunications customer equipment (CE) and customer cabling (CC) under the
TLN, for telecommunications

Additional information:

Labelling requirements for EMC, radiocommunications, EME and telecommunications devices – a
summary: http://www.acma.gov.au/ACMAINTER.1310888:STANDARD::pc=PC_1756
Compliance & labelling booklets for each of the four compliance regimes are available online from:
http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD/pc=PC_300427.

Each booklet should be read in conjunction with its respective Labelling Notice.

The ACMA does not issue A‐tick or C‐tick certificates or type approvals for compliant devices,
which are subject to these Labelling Notices.

Each Labelling Notice identifies:
• the types of devices covered; and
• the applicable standards; and
• the compliance level for required testing.

The Labelling Notices require the Supplier to:
• establish that the device complies with all applicable mandated ACMA standards,
generally by way of test report to listed national or international standards, then
• declare compliance to mandated ACMA standards, by signing a Declaration of Conformity
(DoC), in accordance with relevant Labelling Notices, then
• label the device with Supplier identification and a compliance mark as follows:
 with the A‐Tick compliance mark for a device which is subject to the TLN,
or
 with the C‐Tick compliance mark for a device which is subject to any of
the three Radiocommunications LNs


Some devices may have to demonstrate compliance to one or more of these regimes.
E.g., a PSTN connected DECT phone incorporating an answering machine may have to
demonstrate compliance to all four of the above compliance and labelling regimes before an A‐
tick compliance label can be affixed.
(Also, see Note 3 under the heading Compliance labelling with A‐Tick or C‐Tick compliance marks following)

2.2 Permission to use compliance marks

The A‐Tick Mark and C‐Tick Mark are protected symbols and Suppliers must obtain permission
from the ACMA to use them.

You are considered by the ACMA to be a Supplier if you are:
1. resident in Australia;

and

2. an Australian manufacturer;

or

3. an Australian importer;

or

4. an Australian Agent for an Australian manufacturer or importer.

After a satisfactorily completed application form has been received from a Supplier, the ACMA
will issue:
• a letter allowing the use of the compliance marks and
• a Supplier Code Number (SCN) for identification purposes

2.3 Supplier Code Number (SCN)

• SCN is a unique identification of the Supplier
• SCN issue is free (no cost)
• SCN does not expire
• SCN issuing process may take up to 10 working days
• SCN identification details should be updated if they change (i.e. company address /
contact person / contact details etc).
2.4 CE marking or other overseas compliance, approval or reports

In Australia, a compliance mark such as the CE mark, or an FCC ID, indicating compliance with
overseas requirements:
• does not mean the device can be supplied without an A‐Tick or C‐Tick compliance label; and
• does not indicate or ensure compliance with any of the Australian regulatory regimes; and
• does not mean the device can be labelled with a C‐Tick or A‐Tick compliance label
EMC reports from overseas must be to a standard from the ACMA’s list of mandatory standards.
EMC standards list: click here to view the web page on the internet browser set on your PC

FCC approvals and reports to US standards
(except in limited cases for certain radio‐
communications transmitters) are not valid
in Australia.

Australia has its own telecommunications standards and in virtually all cases compliance
for telecommunications devices can only be established by test reports to the mandated
Australian Standards.
While some European or International reports may be used to directly demonstrate compliance
with the Australian requirements (e.g. EMC reports), others might only be indirectly used by an
accredited laboratory to produce a report to a mandated Standard. In either case, the overseas
reports must be complete copies, in English.

You may need to engage the services of an independent consultant and/or test laboratory to
make the determination of the applicability of overseas reports.
2.5 Compliance labelling with A‐Tick or C‐Tick compliance marks

Prior to supplying a device to the Australian market, compliant devices must be labelled with
either the A‐Tick, or the C‐Tick (or the RCM) compliance marks, in accordance with the
relevant Labelling Notice/s.

The C‐Tick or A‐Tick compliance marks must be at least 3mm high and the SCN, or other
acceptable form of Supplier identification, must be at least 1mm in height.

Notes:
1. Labelling may be done by the overseas manufacturer on the Supplier’s behalf
2. The Supplier Code Number (SCN) Nxxxxx may be replaced with:
a. an Australian Company Number (ACN);
or
b. an Australian Business Number (ABN);
or
c. an Australian Registered Business Number (ARBN);
or
d. an Australian business name and address, personal name and address in
Australia;
or
e. an Australian registered trademark.
3. In the case of a telecommunications device, which may also be subject to one or
more of the C‐Tick labelling requirements, the A‐Tick compliance mark can be used to
also indicate compliance with the C‐tick requirements. However, the compliance
records required for C‐Tick compliance must also be held.

The C‐Tick and A‐Tick compliance marks can be downloaded from the Compliance marks
webpage: click here to view the web page on the internet browser set on your PC


More information, including information for Suppliers who intend to use the RCM can be
viewed at Labelling requirements for EMC, radiocommunications, EME and
telecommunications devices—a summary:

More information about the RCM is also available from the Standards Australia website at:


3 Compliance Records (General)

Prior to the supply of the device to the market, the Supplier must establish compliance records
for each device, or family (variants) of devices, and retain them for a period of five years
beyond cessation of supply.

Depending on the particular device, and its compliance level, the compliance records must
comprise of the applicable parts of the following,:
1. A method of uniquely identifying the device (brochure, photograph,
users manual, etc);
2. A signed Declaration of Conformity (declaring conformity to the relevant
standards);
3. A complete copy, in English, of any applicable electromagnetic compatibility test
report to the relevant standard,
4. A complete copy, in English, of any applicable radiocommunications test reports to
the relevant standards,
5. A complete copy, in English, of any applicable EME test report,
6. A complete copy, in English, of any applicable telecommunications test reports to
the relevant standards.

If the Supplier of a device is selected for audit, or in the event of investigation of a complaint,
authorised ACMA staff may request to view the compliance records.

If requested to do so, a supplier will have up to ten (10) working days to produce the
compliance records.

Note:
Suppliers should not send compliance documents to the ACMA, unless requested to do so.

3.2 Radiocommunications (EMC) compliance and labelling

The EMC compliance and labelling regulatory arrangements information page and an index to
relevant documentation (Forms, Fact Sheets, Legislation and Standards) can be viewed at:

The EMC regulatory requirements applicable to the supply of electrical and electronic devices
to the Australian market are also contained in the ACMA booklet Electromagnetic
Compatibility, Compliance and Labelling ‐ Information for suppliers of electrical and
electronic devices, vehicles and devices with internal combustion engines in Australia, which
can be downloaded from:


The booklet is a guide to the requirements that a Supplier must meet before supplying devices
to the Australian market and it should be read in conjunction with the labelling requirements
which are contained in the EMC‐LN.

The EMC compliance and labelling requirements are contained in the document
titled Radiocommunications Labelling (Electromagnetic Compatibility) Notice 2008 (‐ the
EMC‐LN) including Radiocommunications Labelling (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
Amendment Notice 2010 (No. 1), which can be downloaded from:

The EMC‐LN applies to all electrical/electronic devices other than those scoped by the RLN or
those devices excluded under Schedule 2 ‐ Devices to which this Notice does not apply.

The EMC‐LN was amended in November 2009 and March 2010. One of the major changes in
the November 2009 amendment was that battery powered devices that cannot connect to any
external power source, are now considered to be low‐risk device (or EMC Compliance Level 1).

the ACMA has declared the device to be a medium risk device under
subsection (3).

Battery‐powered device means a device that is not capable of connecting, directly or indirectly,
to an external power supply.

A Supplier, or a Supplier’s consultant, should be able to ascertain the EMC compliance level
and the applicable standard for the device from the information supplied and ACMA’s
EMC standards list: Click here to view the web page on the internet browser set on your PC

3.2.1.1 EMC low risk device ‐ Compliance Level 1

• Labelling with the C‐Tick compliance mark is voluntary.

However, whether the Supplier chooses to label the device or not, Suppliers are still
required to keep compliance records. The compliance records must include the
following:

If voluntarily C‐tick labelled:
• A method of uniquely identifying the device (brochure, photograph, users
manual etc),
• A signed Declaration of Conformity (declaring conformity to the applicable
EMC standard),

If not C‐tick labelled:
• A method of uniquely identifying the device (brochure, photograph, user’s
manual etc).

3.2.1.2 EMC medium‐risk device ‐ Compliance Level 2

• Labelling with the C‐Tick compliance mark is mandatory.

The compliance records must include the following:
1. A method of uniquely identifying the device (brochure,
photograph, users manual etc),
2. A signed Declaration of Conformity (declaring conformity to an
appropriate standard),
3. A complete copy of an EMC test report to an appropriate standard,
in English,
• The EMC test report does not need to be from an
accredited laboratory
• The report may be to the equivalent European or
International standard
OR
4. A technical construction file (TCF*).
*Please see the definition of a TCF in the EMC‐LN


3.2.1.3 EMC High‐risk device ‐ Compliance Level 3

• Labelling with the C‐Tick compliance mark is mandatory.

The compliance records are the same as for a Compliance level 2 device except that
any test report must be from an accredited testing body.

Accredited testing body means a laboratory:
(a) that is a testing body; and
(b) that is:
i. accredited by NATA to conduct testing against an
applicable standard;

or

ii. accredited, by a body that has entered into a mutual
recognition agreement with NATA, to conduct testing
against an applicable standard;

or

iii. designated, notified or recognised, under an agreement
about mutual recognition on conformity assessment to
which Australia is a party, to conduct testing against
an applicable standard.

4 Radiocommunications devices (transmitters) compliance and labelling

In Australia, transmitters must be operated under the authority of a radiocommunications
licence, of which there are 3 basic types:

1. Class Licence – no need for individual licences to be held by users (see
requirements below),
2. Spectrum Licence – licence issued to an individual or a company for part of
the spectrum in specific geographical areas that covers all
devices in those geographical areas, the licensee can grant
third parties permission to operate transmitters under their
licence

3. Apparatus Licence – individual licences issued to authorise each device in
specific locations or coverage areas

Which type is applicable to a Supplier’s device will depend on the frequency/spectrum
used and the transmit power levels for the device or range of devices.

The compliance and labelling requirements for radiocommunications devices are
contained in the ACMA document entitled the Radiocommunications Devices
(Compliance Labelling) Notice 2003 (‐ the RLN), incorporating the Radiocommunications
Devices (Compliance Labelling) Amendment Notice 2010 (No. 1).

4.1 ACMA list of mandated radiocommunications (devices) standards

The ACMA list of mandated radiocommunications devices standards can be viewed at the
following ACMA web page:

4.2 Class licensing

Class licensing is an effective and efficient means of spectrum management for services
where a limited set of common frequencies are employed, and the device is operated
under a common set of conditions. It also involves minimum licence administration by the
ACMA. A class licence sets out the conditions under which any person is permitted to
operate. It is not issued to an individual user, and does not involve licence fees or licence
conditions applied to individuals.


Class licences authorise users of designated segments of spectrum to operate on a shared
basis.

The ACMA has made the following class licences:

Radiofrequency class licensing overview:

Short Range Devices & the LIPD Class Licence
To be able to supply certain transmitters in Australia (including but not limited to
Wireless LAN, Bluetooth, car immobilisers, radio controlled models, garage door
openers, etc.), without users having to hold individual licences for each device the
Supplier will need to ensure the transmitters comply with the Radiocommunications
(Short Range Devices) Standard 2004 (‐ the SRD standard):

The SRD standard adopts and modifies the current version of AS/NZS 4268: Radio
equipment and systems ‐ Short range devices ‐ Limits and methods of measurement

Tables 1 and 3 of AS/NZS 4268 align, as closely as possible, to Schedule 1 of the
Radiocommunications (Low Interference Potential Devices) Class Licence 2000, (‐ the
LIPD Class Licence), incorporating Amendments to Radiocommunications (Low
Interference Potential Devices) Class Licence Variation Notice 2009 (No. 1), which is
available from:
Click here to view the web page on the internet browser set on your

Example:
Item 17 listed in Schedule 1 of the LIPD class licence authorises the operation of a
transmitter between 433.05MHz and 434.79MHz with a maximum transmitter power
of 25mW EIRP (Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power).

Note: The maximum EIRP limits specified for output power require antenna
gain to be taken into account.
E.g. where EIRP is specified as 4Watts (+36dBm) and transmitter
output power is 100mW (+20dBm), then antenna gain must
be no more than +16 dBi

Other Items cover different frequency ranges/transmitter powers/modulation techniques
etc.

Similarly, AS/NZS 4268:2008 Table 2, replicates the frequencies mentioned in the
Radiocommunications (Radio‐controlled Models) Class Licence 2002 a copy of which is
available from:

4.3 Compliance Levels

● Compliance Level 1:
‐ does not require a supplier to hold a test report.
‐ a test report must be held by the supplier, but it does not need to come
from an accredited test laboratory.
‐ devices must be tested by an accredited testing body for conformity with
the applicable standard. The testing body must give a test report to the
supplier of the device which sets out the tests it has used, the results of those
tests including test data and whether the results show that the device
conforms to the standard.

4.8 MRA (Mutual Recognition Arrangement)

Under the mutual recognition arrangements between accreditation bodies, each
organisation recognises the equivalence of accreditations granted by its overseas
counterparts. NATA has MRAs with the national laboratory accreditation bodies listed in
the table NATA’s Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) Network (linked below), for
recognition of test and calibration reports from accredited laboratories.


or see the next 10 pages for the original document saved on date of publication of this
guideline.


National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia
Mutual Recognition Arrangements
The National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia (NATA) is recognised by

the Australian government as the national authority for accreditation of laboratories
and inspection bodies. Formal agreements also exist between NATA and the
national laboratory accreditation bodies listed in the attached table, NATA’s Mutual
Recognition Arrangement (MRA) Network, for recognition of test and calibration
reports from accredited laboratories, and between NATA and some of the national
inspection body and reference material producer (RMP) accreditation bodies, also
as listed in the attached table, for recognition of inspection reports from accredited
inspection bodies, and of reference material certificates from accredited RMPs.
Under the mutual recognition arrangements between accreditation bodies, each

organisation recognises the equivalence of accreditations granted by its overseas
counterparts, and promotes the equivalence of such accreditations, covered by
each scope of recognition, within its own economy. This reduces the need for re-
testing, re-calibration or re-inspection of products or re-certification of reference
materials in an importing economy and saves time and money for exporters. Before
entering into such arrangements, accreditation bodies have the responsibility to
thoroughly evaluate each other’s systems of accreditation. These arrangements
also include mechanisms to ensure that test, calibration and inspection reports, and
reference material certificates, covered by the arrangement, carry the same degree
of accuracy and credibility on an ongoing basis.
Each NATA-accredited laboratory, inspection body and RMP is recognised for its
technical competence to perform specific tests, measurements, or inspections, or
certification of specific reference materials. For those specific tests, measurements,
inspections or certifications, for which it is accredited, the accredited organisation is
entitled to place the appropriate NATA endorsement on its reports, details of which
are listed in the Second Schedule of NATA’s Rules, copies of which can be
obtained from the NATA website.
Accreditation is granted only after detailed assessment and regular reassessments

of the technical competence of the laboratory, inspection body or RMP and its staff
against defined technical and management system criteria. NATA assessments are
carried out by teams that include independent technical experts.
For recognition of reports and certificates issued by laboratories, inspection bodies

or RMPs accredited by NATA's overseas mutual recognition partners, reports and
certificates received from overseas accredited organisations must bear the
accreditation mark (“endorsement”) of one of the accreditation bodies listed in the
attached table.
While NATA promotes that the endorsed reports and certificates issued by
organisations accredited by its MRA partners are equivalent to NATA-endorsed
reports, NATA is not able to compel a regulator or other client to accept the
overseas reports or certificates. To meet Australian regulatory requirements the
overseas organisation must be accredited for the test, calibration or inspection
procedure prescribed by the Australian regulator.
The attached table includes the website details for each of NATA’s MRA partners.
These websites can be checked for details of accredited organisations, and for the
accreditation mark of each accreditation body. NATA does not itself maintain a list
of organisations accredited by its MRA partners.
Additional information about MRAs can also be found on the websites of ILAC
(www.ilac.org), APLAC (www.aplac.org), EA (www.european-accreditation.org) and
IAAC (www.iaac.org.mx).

6 Radiocommunications (EME) Compliance and Labelling

What devices are scoped by the EMR‐LN and the Human Exposure Standard?

Application of the EMR Labelling Notice

The Radiocommunications (Compliance Labelling ‐ Electromagnetic Radiation) Notice
2003 (the EMR‐LN) applies to a device if the Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic
Radiation — Human Exposure) Standard 2003 (the Human Exposure standard) inc.
Amendment No. 1 (2007) applies to the device.

Application of the Human Exposure Standard
• applies to Aware and Non‐aware user devices
• operating from 100 kHZ to 300 GHz (inclusive)
• with integral antenna

Mobile and portable radiocommunications transmitters including some
telecommunications CE, supplied with an integral antenna and operating on a frequency
between 3 kHz and 300 GHz, must comply with the applicable mandatory
Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation ‐ Human Exposure) Standard 2003, (‐
the Human Exposure Standard).
This was amended by the Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation ‐ Human
Exposure) Amendment Standard 2007 (No.1)

EME compliance and labelling is mandated by the Radiocommunications (Compliance
Labeling – Electromagnetic Radiation) Notice 2003 (‐ the EME‐LN).
Download the Human Exposure Standard and the EME‐LN from the ACMA webpage:
Information for portable transmitter manufacturers & importers can be viewed and
downloaded from:

Electromagnetic energy fact sheet
can be viewed here:

ACMA EME Exposure Standards: Information for Manufacturers and Importers:
Regulatory Arrangements
can be found here:

EME requirements & technical standards for transmitters
fact sheet can be found here:


The Human Exposure Standard defines the testing methodologies and mandates EME
exposure limits for mobile and portable radiocommunications transmitters supplied for
use in close proximity to the human body. The standard makes mandatory the exposure
limits in the Radiation Protection Standard for Maximum Exposure Levels to
Radiofrequency Fields ‐ 3 kHz to 300 GHz (2002) (‐ the ARPANSA standard) published by
the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency.

The ARPANSA standard is available from:

6.1 Radiocommunications (EME) testing at Compliance Level 3

Devices that are required to be evaluated must be tested by a laboratory that is
accredited to conduct such testing.

6.2 Telecommunications Compliance and Labelling.

All Customer Equipment (CE) and Customer Cabling (CC) that will be connected, directly or
indirectly, to the Australian public telecommunications network must comply with the
requirements of the Telecommunications Labelling (Customer Equipment and Customer
Cabling) Notice 2001 (‐ the TLN)

The TLN is available (indirectly) from the ACMA website:
Click here and go directly to the web page on the internet browser set on your

Click on the consolidated Notice, incorporating all amendments.

ACMA booklet Telecommunications Labelling & Compliance details the
telecommunications regulatory arrangements applicable to the supply of
telecommunications CE and CC to the Australian market. It explains in a Q and A format,
the procedures Suppliers need to follow before supplying CE and CC to the market in
Australia. It can be viewed in HTML or downloaded as a PDF from:

The booklet is intended a guide. Always refer to the TLN for the complete and
current telecommunications compliance requirements.

Telecommunications devices must also meet any applicable radiocommunications, EMC,
or EME compliance requirements – refer to other compliance and labelling requirements
throughout this document.


Schedule 1 of the TLN identifies CE by the type of telecommunications network or facility
to which that CE connects.
E.g. an analog telephone would be listed in the TLN, Schedule 1, Part 2, Table
1.2, in Column 1, under Category A1 CE designed to connect to PSTN – analog
for voice.

The applicable telecommunications standards listed are the current versions of:
• AS/NZS 60950.1 – Compliance Level 3
• AS/ACIF S002 – Compliance Level 3
• AS/ACIF S004 – Compliance Level 3
6.2.1 Telecommunications testing at Compliance Level 3

For any CE deemed to be at Compliance Level 3, compliance must be established by a test
report from a Recognised Testing Authorities (RTA). There is a list of the
telecommunications RTAs at the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA)
website:

Note:
RTAs are distributed worldwide but may only carry accreditation for specific
tests. Compliance Level 3 testing on CE must be carried out by a NATA
accredited test house or by a test house accredited by an organisation with an
MRA with NATA.
Once the compliance records have been established the devices must then be
labelled with the A‐Tick compliance mark, in accordance with the TLN.

6.3 Mains powered devices

The TLN may mandate compliance with AS/NZS 60950 for some categories of line or
mains powered CE. Compliance with AS/NZS 60950 (or any other electrical safety
standard) is not mandated under any of the radiocommunications labelling notices
(EMC‐LN, RLN, or EME‐LN) administered by the ACMA.

However, mains powered devices do fall under the jurisdiction of our various State
electrical safety regulators, and there is an obligation to supply safe equipment.
If listed as Prescribed Items or Declared Articles mains powered devices also require
Australian electrical regulatory authority approval.
E.g. external power supplies (plug packs) and battery chargers.

Refer to following web pages for prescribed items lists:

The information above is provided as a guide and its currency or accuracy should be
confirmed by the Supplier contacting the relevant state electrical authorities.

8 Consultation on compliance and labelling requirements

Please note that ACMA do not offer a consultancy service to assess, review or validate
compliance documents.
Furthermore, if a Supplier cannot understand the compliance and labelling information
available in the official ACMA publications or from the ACMA web pages, or the
compliance and labelling requirements as they have been explained in this document,
then a Supplier may need to engage the services of an independent consultant and/or
test laboratory.

We cannot make recommendations, give endorsements or give direct referrals, however,
we suggest:
• To find local (AU) and overseas test laboratories for A‐tick testing,
go to NATA list of Recognised Testing Authorities at: http://nata.com.au/rta2

or

• To find local (AU) consultants/agents, search online for ACMA Compliance Folder or
ACMA Compliance Labelling or ACMA Compliance Consultant
