The phone must also meet the disability standard - the marking regulations do not refer to this hidden, but nonetheless mandatory requirement. In short, for a CMT you need a 0.4 mm raised pip on or near the digit 5.

That's probably correct, under the "laws" they administer the A-tick and C-tick probably aren't required.
