Australia and New Zealand - Instructions Associated with C-Tick Mark

Recommended Innstructions to meet Australia and New Zealand C-Tick Mark regulation

Safety and Regulatory Information

Notice for Australia and New Zealand


This product complies with Section 182 of the Australian Radiocommunications Act 1992and Section 134(1) (g) of the New Zealand Radiocommunications Act 1989


Your manual must have useful information to the user:


Useful Information

Any information with a device to prevent end users from operating the device in such a way that the device would not comply with the requirements in the applicable standard to which the device was tested. This is necessary because it may be possible for a device to be compliant with an applicable standard when used or installed as designed, but then operated or installed in a manner that would make it no longer compliant. In this case documentation should be supplied with a device to detail how to use or install the device and keep it compliant. This is an important issue for devices where compliance is highly dependent upon installation practices.

Example:

A split system air-conditioner featuring a variable speed drive and tested with a cable of 1.2 m from the control unit to the drive, may be non-compliant if installed with a longer installation cable. The purpose of this section is to require the supplier to provide documentation stating that the device will only be compliant if installed with a 1.2 m cable from control unit to the drive. However, if the drive was tested with a sufficiently wide range of cables that it would be very unlikely for the device to be used in a way that would not comply with the standard, documentation under this section would not be necessary.

You will need to check with your emc reports and your emc experts to see if there is something special which needs to be added to ensure continued compliance, not only in Australia and New Zealand, but other countries regulating emc as well.


Exporting to Australia or New Zealand? Go Global Compliance can help gain your C-Tick, A-Tick or Electrical Safety Approvals and provide Local Agent Services in both countries to hold your technical file.

Russia - Sanitary Epidemiological (Hygienic) Conclusion

Sanitary-Epidemiological Conclusion (SEC) shows compliance of products or services to hygienic standards established by Russian Law. SEC is required for submission to Russian customs, as well as to obtain GOST R certificates for some types of
products.

A SEC can be issued to a manufacturer (when the manufacturer and the holder of SEC
certificate are the same company) and to a contract (when the
manufacturer and the holder of SEC certificate are different companies). The principal document regulating the issuance of SECs is the Order of the Federal Service for Consumer Rights and Human Welfare Protection No. 776 dated 21.11.2005. Some products require certificates of state registration.

A hygienic report is issued for a period of 5 years.
