AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND (C-TICK)

The C-Tick Mark is required for electrical/electronic equipment sold in Australia as directed by the Australian Communications Authority (ACA). This requirement became mandatory January 1, 1999. Effective that same date, New Zealand adopted the Australian EMC framework, thereby forming a Trans-Tasman Compliance Framework. As a result, the C-Tick Mark currently accepted in Australia is now accepted in New Zealand.
