CTick Australia/New Zealand Certification

Does anybody have any experience with CTick? I work for a US company that wants to sell its product in Australia and New Zealand. We have CE certified product which we sell elsewhere in the world. Specifically I would like to know whether a company based outside Australia and New Zealand can import product into either country and apply the CTick mark on its product without relying on a local distributor/dealer?

The logistics of labeling product differently for different distributors and for Australia and New Zealand separately makes importing the devices into these countries quite difficult for us today.

Any advice will be appreciated.

** How ?

** How ?

** Huh ??

To "import" a product, one must reside in the country first.

Are you selling goods to the public via a web site in the USA ??

** What the heck are you on about ?

Contact the ACMA who are the Oz government dept who deals with this.

I think if you have CE compliance (and the standards meet or exceed requriements for Oz) you just need to apply for a an ID number and apply that to all of the items you export into Oz. Most of the info you need to know is on the website (or used to be at least)

Ring and talk to the guys there (or email). I've been through the process with multiple products working for two different companies over 15 odd years. The tech guys are quite helpful and straight up - ie in my experience not adversarial at all.

Phil, I'm interested, how many products have you designed and had compliance certified for sale here in Oz? What where they & what problems did you have?

** No you are not - you are a wanker and a fool.

How about you * READ* the OP's idiotic post !!

The main issues are:

Nowhere does he say which country HE is resident in !!!

Nowhere does he give any hint of his role in the business.

Nowhere does he give ANY hint as to what type of product it is !!!

The crucial issue of having or not having an Australian import agent is left totally ambiguous !!!!

The fool plainly does not know the meaning the word " import " and uses it in place of "export" !!!

PLUS the totally stupid jerk posts using Google Groups - the font of all usenet insanities.

My wry comment above is WAAAYY well justified.

QED.
