The main purpose of the compliance requirements is to ensure that such products meet the relevant technical standards required by the regulatory authorities and are properly marked before they are provided or connected to the telecommunications network. The relevant technical standards relate to the health and safety of users and operators of integrated telecommunications networks, the availability of interconnection of telecommunications networks that provide standard telephone services, and the implementation of emergency call services.

Australian manufacturers and importers or their authorized agents must affix the A-tiok label or non-conformity label to the products specified in the label announcement.

Applicable product range

Any consumer device and consumer connection that can be connected to the public telecommunications network of an operator or an operating service provider are telecommunications products defined in the label announcement, such as answering machines, mobile phones, fax machines, telephones (including cordless phones) ), Modems, etc. Except for three-phase power supply and large-scale communication products, telecommunication products are all within the scope of STEK business.

SAA certification, C-Tick, A-Tick and RCM

SAA certification is for the control and safety regulations, C-Tick certification for EMC and radio products, and A-Tick certification for telecommunications products. The RCM mark is a certification mark launched in 2013. After the product has obtained the safety certification and electromagnetic compatibility registration, the RCM mark can be obtained through the safety certification regulatory body. From March 1, 2016, the electronic and electrical products sold must uniformly use the RCM logo; the A-tick and C-tick logos will be replaced. RCM can be understood as a registration system, including SAA and C-TICK.
